At Zina Gallery in Cluj-Napoca, you can visit the personal exhibition of the artist Dan Beudean – “Doctor OuchItHurts opens a hospital that cures any sickness from any animal”.
In his artistic practice, Dan Beudean explores subjects such as the natural, the mystical, the everyday and the fictional, being interested in the historical dimension of the 21st century.
And said Ouch-it-hurts: “No problem!
Give it here!
I will sew him new legs,
He will run on the track again”.
(…)
“(…) if i drown,
If I go to the bottom,
What will become of them, with the sick,
With my beasts of the forest?»
(…)
And the mountains stand in front of him on the way,
And he begins to crawl over the mountains,
And the mountains are getting higher, and the mountains are steeper,
And the mountains go under the very clouds!
“(…) if i don’t get there,
If I get lost on the way,
What will become of them, with the sick,
With my beasts of the forest?»
