SYMPOSIUM - Nov 21-22, 2025 at POINT

Join us for a deep dive into the parallels between post-communist and post-colonialist spaces from the 1960s to today. Experts, Artists, Journalists, Spies and Guerilla Fighters share their stories and findings as we gather around a largely forgotten history that is critical to today’s moment.

"What the exhibition curated by Székely Sebestyén at the Quadro Gallery does, however, is to recover a little-known piece from the experimentalist puzzle of the 1970s and 1980s, namely the early photographic and film works of ceramist Titu Toncian, which show a particular interest in reflection on the self, nature, and memory."

In her debut text, Timea-Andrada Toth explores the experimental universe of Titu Toncian, a pioneer of Romanian alternative art, in the exhibition “Titu Toncian: Autoportret. Experiment fotografic și film”.

A true representative of Romanian experimentalism.

„Ce face expoziția curatoriată de Székely Sebestyén în cadrul Galeriei Quadro, însă, este recuperarea unei piese prea puțin cunoscute din puzzle-ul experimentalist al anilor ’70-’80, anume lucrările fotografice și filmice timpurii ale ceramistului Titu Toncian, care denotă un interes deosebit pentru reflecția asupra sinelui, naturii și a memoriei."

În textul său de debut, Timea-Andrada Toth scrie despre universul experimental al lui Titu Toncian, pionier al artei alternative românești, prezentat în expoziția „Titu Toncian: Autoportret. Experiment fotografic și film”.

Un veritabil reprezentant al experimentalismului românesc.

"In recent years, Cluj has increasingly established itself as a relevant center for curatorial training, a process directly supported by the existence of the Contemporary Curatorial Practices master’s program, run by the Department of Theoretical Disciplines at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca. The importance of this program is not only reflected at a theoretical or academic level, but also has a practical dimension, as demonstrated by the inaugural edition of Praxis!, where all exhibitions were curated by 12 graduates of the master’s program (classes of 2020–2025), under the coordination of general curator Bogdan Iacob."

Ada Muntean outlines the events at Praxis! Emergent Curators’ Days in Cluj-Napoca, a network of dialogues between generations, environments, and ways of looking at the world.

A large-scale curatorial event.

"În ultimii ani, Clujul se afirmă tot mai clar ca un centru relevant pentru formarea curatorială, proces susținut în mod direct de existența programului de master Practici Curatoriale Contemporane, derulat de Departamentul de Discipline Teoretice al Universității de Artă și Design din Cluj-Napoca. Importanța acestui program nu se reflectă doar la nivel teoretic sau academic, ci are și o dimensiune aplicată, fapt demonstrat de ediția inaugurală a Praxis!, unde toate expozițiile au fost curatoriate de 12 absolvenți ai masteratului (promoțiile 2020–2025), sub coordonarea curatorului general Bogdan Iacob."

Ada Muntean detaliază evenimentele din cadrul Praxis! Emergent Curators’ Days din Cluj-Napoca, o rețea de dialoguri între generații, medii și moduri de a privi lumea.

Un eveniment curatorial de amploare.
