Marilena Preda Sânc: Bodyscape 1982–1988 presents a large number of collages, photographs with interventions, and drawings that have never been showed before. Focusing on works from the 1980s – a pivotal decade in the artist’s career –, the solo show highlights a brave practice that openly expressed her experiences as a woman, despite the oppressive climate of the era. “Marilena Preda Sânc’s exhibition at Gaep offers a compelling insight into a decisive decade of artistic resistance and introspection. (…) From her early engagement with feminism, nature, and power structures, the artist’s 1980s works stand out as both historical documents and ongoing meditations on the human condition – urgently relevant to our present times.” — Anna Daneri, curator
