The exhibition LET ME GET WHAT I WANT by Ana Ionescu, curated by Anne-Marie Lolea, opens on March 27, 2026, at 6:00 PM at G15 Design Gallery, located in Hanul cu Tei (Lipscani 63), and will be on view until April 30. The project reflects on boredom as a defining condition of the present—not only as a result of overstimulation and repetition, but also as a starting point for new forms of perception and meaning, where the everyday becomes fertile ground for unexpected associations.
At the core of the exhibition is the body, caught in a repetitive logic similar to that of the mind, yet still capable of sensing, resisting, and projecting desire. The works, scaled in relation to the artist’s body, present themselves as anti-functional objects that reject utility in favor of intensifying sensory experience. Rather than inviting direct use, they provoke the viewer into an imagined interaction, generating a space of tension between attraction and repulsion, the familiar and the uncanny.
Primarily made of metal, the works emphasize the contrast between the rigidity of the material and the vulnerability of the human body. Their ambiguous forms suggest possible functions while ultimately denying them, creating unstable encounters in which desire, anxiety, and the search for meaning overlap. LET ME GET WHAT I WANT thus becomes a space of projection and re-sensitization, where each object suspends the utilitarian logic of everyday life and reopens the question of personal desire within a context marked by uniformity and disconnection.
