Opening this Friday, September 19, 6:00 p.m. | Marilena Preda Sânc: Bodyscape 1982–1988

“Marilena Preda Sânc’s exhibition offers a compelling insight into a decisive decade of artistic resistance and introspection. Presenting collages, photographs with interventions and drawings from the 1980s, it highlights a body of work created in one of the most restrictive periods of Romanian history.” — Anna Daneri, curator

Featured artwork: Marilena Preda Sânc, The Androgyne/My Body Is Space in Space, Time in Time and Memory of All, 1986, mixed technique on paper, 66 x 97 cm

Where does one start to buy contemporary art? What are the differences between buying an artwork in a gallery, at an auction, during an art fair, or online? And what is the “right time” to ask for the price of a work that you like?

In his new op-ed for Republica.ro, Gaep’s co-founder Andrei Breahnă answers these questions that mark any new collector’s journey.

Dintr-o galerie, la o licitație, într-un târg de artă sau online? Între piața primară, unde o lucrare este tranzacționată pentru întâia oară, și piața secundară, unde operele sunt revândute, colecționarii au la dispoziție mai multe variante pentru achiziția de artă contemporană....

Tucked away in a corner of the exhibition space: Vlad Albu’s sculpture that embodies the tenuous stability of a system of mutual support, with one round object teetering on the edge of another object.

How might a month look like?

For ‘Calendar martie 2025’, Roberta Curcă repurposes a ready-made temporal system (the monthly calendar) and a specific layout (of Hobonichi Techo Weeks calendar) for an image of a month in her life. Each box features elements from the daily drawings she made last March.

Come by the gallery to discover a group of works comprising the ‘Calendar’ and eight ‘Daily Drawings’.

Vlad Albu's ‘Holders’ stage a meeting between objects that seem on the brink of falling or changing direction and objects that act as caring, albeit imperfect, forms of care and protection. At any moment, something can go wrong. Will the objects continue to hold each other? Will we manage to hold on?

The duo exhibition Gaep Presents: Vlad Albu and Roberta Curcă is on view through July 31.

‘Mostrar anual 2023’ encapsulates a year’s worth of thoughts, experiences, and emotions. Roberta Curcă reviews the entire material of the previous year, from sketchbooks and written notes to final works, selects various visual and text elements, and collates them meticulously into a grid, inscribing rows and columns of time.

🟡 Come by the gallery to discover two such drawings.

The template of a color swatch – a staple of the printing industry – is used by Roberta Curcă to express a profoundly personal universe. A year in her life takes the form of 12 samples, each of them standing for a month in 2023. They are like 12 emotional layers in which the mark making and the colors become the signifiers for a wealth of experiences and states of mind.

🗓 Plan a visit till July 31 to take a closer look.
