Art Talks based on exhibitions
How can we approach and interpret a piece of contemporary art from diverse angles? Are there uncharted territories beyond the conventional viewpoints that not all of us have explored? If such perspectives exist, what might they entail?
The event represents a collection of sessions involving professionals from non-art fields, whom we have invited to share their unique perspectives on contemporary art. As we explore various exhibitions created and presented by Mobius, each of these specialists will bring their distinct professional expertise and a unique interpretive lens that differs from the established norms within the contemporary art community.
1 / Anders Krisar (artist) and Petruța Gheorghe (psychotherapist)
In the inaugural edition of Mobius Art Talks - Bridges, Anders Krisár's works were presented in a captivating manner, setting the stage for an intriguing encounter with the world of psychology. Renowned psychotherapist Petruta Gheorghe was invited to provide her unique insights into the discussion. This synergistic event delved into the intricate relationship between art and the human psyche, offering a profound understanding of how art can both influence and reflect aspects of our mental and emotional well-being.

4 / Roman Tolici (artist) and Corina Șutei (international cultural consultant)
Delving into the significance of painting, we embark on a thought-provoking conversation about the unique way in which the act of beholding a painted image can construct an internal experience akin to the emotional resonance of music. This discourse centres on the profound connection between painting and the innate human desire for inner serenity. By delving into the captivating works of Roman Tolici, we explore how art can serve as a portal to inner peace and self-reflection.
5 / Codruța Cernea (artist) and Diana Culescu (urbanist)
As "Viitoare Nostalgie" unveils a vision of a future steeped in nostalgia, one that arises after our direct interaction with the unspoiled beauty of the natural world that we currently cherish, we eagerly anticipate an enlightening conversation. We are privileged to host an individual who possesses an ardent affection for trees and an unparalleled understanding of the intricacies of our urban surroundings. This upcoming discussion promises to be an engaging exploration of the ever-evolving urban landscape and its interplay with nature.
6 / Karolis Strautniekas (artist) and Monica Jitariuc
'From cave walls to Facebook walls, from animals and gods to emoticons and memes, the image has fascinated, communicated, manipulated or built/torn down all kinds of worlds. Homo Videns is polluted with visual information and I have always been concerned with navigation systems through this dense sea of images. Today we are what we see and, clearly, we see what we are. Let's talk about it on Friday. Funny, right? Talking about images is like dancing about poetry. I mean, cool:).' - Monica Jitariuc
7 / Poetrip on Callosum
In a unique and exclusive event, the Calossum group exhibition will undergo a captivating reimagining by Pœtrip, one of Romania's most intriguing underground bands. This avant-garde performance has been meticulously crafted for this occasion, promising to offer an entirely fresh perspective on the exhibition's artistic offerings. Pœtrip emerged in the Romanian underground music scene in 2011, brought to life by the creative vision of Ștefan Botezatu and Oana Maria. Their musical journey has been a dynamic and transformative one, as they've sought to channel their emotions, thoughts, and humour into their sound.
8 / White Imprint and Constantin Vică (philosopher)
Art possesses a unique capacity to spark perspectives, shape dialogues, and serve as a reflective surface, resonating on both individual and collective scales. Simultaneously, it mirrors the multifaceted landscape of our existence, encompassing the intricate tapestry of our surroundings, enriched with the imprints of our journey through life. This environment, marked by the tangible symbols and remnants of our presence, serves as a profound reflection of our emotional, ethical, and intellectual landscapes, intertwining our experiences with the world we inhabit.
