2013 - Aceeaşi dependenţă / The old addictions

Aceeaşi dependenţă / The old addictions

Tehnică: mixtă ( cutii de lemn, gresie, oxizi, ardere 1260°, leduri luminoase)

Dimensiuni: 132x33x11 cm

În societatea modernă depersonalizarea umană a devenit o problemă a timpului actual în care doar dependenţa de comunicare a rămas aceeaşi. Tehnologia şi sistemul de orice tip a modificat tipul instrumentelor necesare comunicării - literele tastaturii au luat locul scrisului de mâna, comunicarea prin căşti ia locul dialogului "face to face" iar numerotarea identităţii înlocuieşte personalitatea umnană.

In modern society appear a new problem of human identity - depersonalization. Only the communication dependence remained the same. The technology or kind of system have changed the instruments for communication - letters of keyboard have replaced the handwriting, dialogue by headphones is more important than the communication "face to face" and the numbers took place of humane personality.

Looking in/out of the system. Black boxes with ceramics pieces and light.

Looking in/out of the system is a new project of mine which it was started when I observed the people on a street. When I say system I am thinking on all systems which we know as: economical, educational, technological, political.Almost all the attitudes of the humans became like as machines which have the automatically gestures. The languages and vocabularies are influenced by the technology which we it use for communication and socialite but we had lost communication face to face or the body language. Daily we use the same letters but we are not write with a pen, we use computer keyboard of phone keyboard and in this way we move away from our personality. How is better to be? To be stay inside of the system or to looking outside of it?I decided to choose the ceramics material for the inside of boxes because I want to mark our automatism resistance and light part for the visual signal.

2012 Forme ale feminitãţii/Feminine Atittudes - Galeria Galateea Contemporary Art, Bucureşti, România

Galeria Galateea Contemporary Art, Bucureşti, România

„Forme ale feminitãţii/Feminine Atittudes”

Perioada 19 octombrie – 5 noiembrie 2012

Au expus: Georgiana Cozma (România) şi Éva Andrea Szőcs (Ungaria)

Curator: Georgiana Cozma

Georgiana Cozma şi Éva Szőcs prezintă tipologii/atitudini: femeia dependentă, vulnerabilă, contestabilă etc. Observaţia nonintruzivă a ipostazelor depersonalizării feminine formează discursul plastic al Georgianei. Éva incită privitorul prin punerea sub lupa ironiei a ipostazelor femeii deposedate de feminitate. Contrar aparenţelor, ambele artiste construiesc un discurs recuperator, în care enclavizarea feministă nu este soluţia salvatoare (cel puţin nu deocamdată).

Sintagma postmodernistă a corpului văzut ca fragment şi prezenţa virulentă a grilajului subliniază ideea corpului captiv. Şi nu în ultimă instanţă el este privit ca produs, sub formă de număr, cod de bare etc, ca purtător al inautenticităţii. Pe lângă mesaj, la Georgiana Cozma materialul întotdeauna capătă însemnătate şi vine să completeze consistenţa subiectului, fragilizând sau din contră, acordând duritate subiectului (gresia).

Apetenţa pentru figurativ a Évei Szőcs nu este decât un pretext pentru trasarea unor traiectorii ce aparţin artei conceptuale. Artista apostrofează atitudini fals feminine. Discursul ei reactivează citate clasice din istoria artei, asemeni portretelor de curte, a căror miză era perfecţiunea absolută.

Expoziţia îşi propune mai degrabă să interogheze decât să acorde sentinţe clare. Curajul formulării şi potenţării unui traseu cu instalaţii ceramice, sculptură tridimensională şi artă video şi-a atins targetul.

Galateea Contemporary Art Gallery, Bucharest,

Romania

The exhibition FEMININE ATTITUDES

19 October to 5 November 2012

Was exhibited: Georgiana Cozma (

Romania

) and Éva Andrea Szőcs (

Hungary

)

Curator: Georgiana Cozma

Georgiana Cozma and Éva Andrea Szőcs are displaying typologies/attitudes regarding women: the independent, the vulnerable and the contested woman. The non-intruding observation of various types of feminine depersonalization generates Georgiana’s visual discourse. Éva entices the viewer by analyzing, under an ironical magnifying glass, the multiple impersonations of the woman deprived of her feminine side. Despite the appearances, both artists construct a recovering discourse, whereby the feminist “enclavisation” does not represent the salvation (at least not for the moment).

The postmodern idiom of the body seen as a fragment and the virulent presence of the fencing grid underline the idea of a trapped body. The body is nonetheless presented as a product, under the shape of a number, or a barcode, as a barrier of non-authenticity. Besides the message, the material has - in Georgiana Cozma’s case - its individual significance and is constantly used to complete the subject’s substantiality, inducing the feeling of fragility or, on the contrary, granting the stoneware’s toughness to the subject.

The appetency for figurative, that describes Éva Andrea Szőcs’ artwork, is nevertheless a pretext for depicting a trajectory belonging to conceptual art. The artist appraises the false feminine attitudes. Her visual discourse reactivates classical quotations from the history of art, analogous to courtly/official portraits, where reaching the absolute perfection was the main goal.

The exhibition comes as an interrogation rather than a radical judgment. The courage of formulations and the emphasis of a path throughout ceramic installations, tri-dimensional sculptures and video art have reached their target.
