"An underlying theme of this edition, reflecting a dynamic that grows proportionally and cyclically in the cultural sphere, is the fragmentation of time—especially in work that never ends, that branches out into diverse activities, that requires extensive interaction with so many other people, and that involves working on multiple fronts simultaneously."
Drawing from RAD Curatorial 2026, Bogdan Bălan traces the conversations, encounters, and ideas that shaped this year’s international curatorial summit in Bucharest.
