MATCA artspace continues the series of exhibitions dedicated to exploring the condition of being an artist with the solo show of the artist Lucian Indrei: “VALEA DEZAMĂGIRII/ VALLEY OF DISAPPOINTMENT”
“Valley of Disappointment”, Lucian Indrei’s first personal exhibition at MATCA artspace, presents works from different creative periods: new and recent (and not so recent). The opening will take place on Friday, November 11, starting at 7 p.m.
“Some self-improvement authors are claiming that progress, of learning or bettering a skill, is exponential and not linear. We expect progress to be linear, but it is usually much slower in the beginning (when we are building the foundations of learning as it were) and it gradually accelerates as we continue. This is ‘the valley of disappointment’ and it represents the period of frustration when we keep working at something and the results seem meager at best. This can go on for months and months. But good things come to those who wait…
That is good news since, since I’ve been:

– Lucian Indrei
Lucian Indrei was born in 1983 in Bistrita. He graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Cluj Napoca, bachelor’s and master’s degree. He is the co-founder of Lateral Artspace and Co-Lateral, two artist-run initiatives from Cluj-Napoca His works vary between analyzing and depicting the relationships between personal events and various topics of interest. He questions with his works how the production and distribution of images conditions perception, or to what extent our culture is a mixture of fiction and truth (especially fiction) and by what means images contribute to this mixture, interested in how technology (and science) conditions the way we communicate and perceive the world.
He lives and works in Cluj-Napoca, Romania
The exhibition is part of the project “Past-Present-Future: Artists for Artists”.
