Eastwards Prospectus Cultural Association presents the group show Fabulating About a at the Brașov Art Museum.

The exhibition marks the final stage of the mentorship and production program dedicated to emerging artists, Accelerator Brașov, which started in August this year.

The ten emerging artists who are part of the program, Alexandra Boaru, Adrian Cojocaru, Alexandru Daniel Florea, Denis Flueraru, Iulia Jugaru, Mălina Moncea, Irina Motroc, Diana Roșca, Ioana Rusu, and Anca Țintea investigate the mechanisms of memory and how certain past events have influenced their artistic practice. Without being able to describe in detail the place or exact coordinates of the events that led to the formation of their own identities, each of the ten artists, as part of the exhibition, offers their perspective on how life stories are created within memory through the exploration of the past.

„I wore two hats within the Accelerator Brașov project: one as the coordinator of the mentorship program and the other as the curator of the group exhibition. In my role as a curator, also at the beginning of my career, I better understood, during the two months of working with the artists, how I could create a safe space for them to develop their artistic practice. In my role as the coordinator of the mentorship program, I wanted, alongside the project team, to provide young artists at the beginning of their careers with the necessary tools to evolve.
Accelerator Brașov started with the premise that the education acquired in Romanian universities is insufficient for young artists to develop their careers successfully. That’s why we approached them with theoretical knowledge related to the contemporary art system and market, PR, and communication in art, and the curator-artist relationship in thematic workshops, as well as practical exercises during the mentorship sessions,” explains Georgia Țidorescu, the exhibition curator and coordinator of the mentorship program within Accelerator Brașov.
