Meron Gallery hosts ALMOST STILL, a duo show by artists Miruna Copăcel and Larisa Petcuț, curated by Miruna Drăgușanu.

“In Larisa Petcuț’s works, vernacular textile techniques reclaim a paradoxical form of contemporaneity, charged with the energy of gestures passed down through generations. Felting and embroidery — slow processes, almost hypnotic in their rhythm — coagulate a material in which time is not measured, but deposited. Matter thus acquires the consistency of a living surface, a crust in which memory is compacted. A ritualistic dimension insinuates itself into this practice, without settling into a recognizable form, but rather persisting like a continuous vibration. Femininity circulates through these works as a diffuse energy, infiltrated into the very resistance of the fiber, which, under the pressure of the gesture, does not yield completely, but retains within itself the memory of every intervention.

Miruna Copăcel operates on matter through a carefully orchestrated destabilization, in which forms seem to lose their coherence and slide into a territory of indecision. Marked by a materiality of permanence, her artistic technique is subjected to processes that fragilize appearance, as though their own duration were suspended within a continuum. The resulting objects constitute themselves as ambiguous presences and accumulations that transform the surface into a space of intensity. Matter reveals its own structural vulnerability, generating a proliferation of possible meanings and states.

Almost Still thus takes the form of a tensioned persistence, in which matter is never presented as fully stable, and transformation becomes a condition of its existence. Between sedimented surfaces and forms in perpetual drift, the exhibition proposes a reflection on a femininity that does not settle into an identity, but insinuates itself as a process.” (Excerpt from the curatorial text)

The exhibition can be visited until August 25, 2026. Admission is free.
