Photos of our collective exhibition at Miejsca Projektów Zachęty / Zachęta Project Room, taken by Anna Zagrodzka. The show is on till September, when a couple of us’ll be heading to Warsaw for the closing. A big thank you to the Zachęta Project Room crew and Magda Kardasz for looking after the installation of the suitcase and its fragile array of contents. It’s the first time I leave the setting up on somebody else’s hands, so I am grateful for the team’s efforts. They even included an illustration of the musician I recorded in Fabric quarter’s Traian Square. Link to the audio file >>> https://soundcloud.com/sorina-vazelina/bobi-viorel <<<

Here is a complete list of all the guys strutting their finest in downtown Warsaw: Zofia Gramz / Lera Kelemen / Ana Kun / Janusz Łukowicz / Andreea Medar / Carmen Nicolau / Paulina Pankiewicz / Pusha Petrov & Miki Velciov / Anna Siekierska / Mikołaj Szpaczyński / Sorina Vazelina / Marta Węglińska + Romanian curator Diana Marincu

😱Currently running on over-drive. Went through 7 long years without any summer vacation, then had a couple of shitty malfunctions, so I’m not looking forward to being grilled next to the desk come July. Except for a few future updates, expect me to be ghosting offline for a while. 🤖Thank you for reading this crucial message.

🏝The gif was done last year for an animation school based in Brasov, all part of some meandering experience I was aiming to grasp. Anyway, enjoy your summer breaks or vacations! Idle time’s the best time for daydreaming 👻

Thank you @linaitagaki and @editurafrontiera for giving me the chance to join in the translating venture of #siberianhaiku.

Around 3 years ago, when I met @jurga.vile and Lina we joked about how Jurga’s ancestors and my uncle Todi met in Siberia and how our intersection had been the outcome of those dark days.

Jurga built a dense narrative, infused with literary references in several languages, and @linaitagaki blended it all together with a naïve touch.

The book was translated in early 2021 by Alina Nucă, so I shouldn’t be describing it in English, but it’s a collective international collab so I hope all the Romanians will excuse my anglophile ramblings :)

Congratulations Jurga and Lina on spreading these stories around the globe!

The humongous cathedral being built next to the People’s Palace was recently declared as the record holder for the largest iconostasis. However, the institution which is responsible for awarding these prizes is not exactly entitled to give out world record holding titles. Editorial illustration for the fact checking and record breakers’ debunkers at Scena9. Here is a link to the full article, in Romanian

📐✏️🥊First time carving wood and building a 3D comics. Here is part of the process. In July, the exhibition will move to Warsaw, at Zachęta National Gallery of Art. General info about the event below. Here is a link to the zine running alongside the wooden installation, detailing the project >>> https://issuu.com/sorivazelina/docs/fabric3fin <<<

Curated by Magda Kardasz and Diana Marincu, the exhibition brings together seven artists from Timișoara (Lera Kelemen, Ana Kun, Andreea Medar, Carmen Nicolau, Pusha Petrov & Miki Velciov, Sorina Vazelina) and six Polish artists (Zofia Gramz, Janusz Łukowicz, Paulina Pankiewicz, Anna Siekierska, Mikołaj Szpaczyński, Marta Węglińska), invited to produce a new work starting from several intertwined thematic topics: the correlation between natural ecosystems and human intrusion; the creation of some hybrid anthropomorphic creatures – extensions of multiple human hypostases; the artists’ activist and ecological interventions regarding environment, the city and the public space. Thus, the artists are rather interested in self-organising and collaborative structures, which drive them away from existing systems, be it inspiration taken from nature and the wilds, or developing a personal and collective conscience fully sensitive to nowadays issues of human existence inside an exhausted anthropocentric system.

Forgot to post this back in 2020, but any day is a good day to show solidarity and empathy, helping to carry each other through these weary times. More info about Carusel, the NGO doing harm reduction work in Bucharest, here >>> https://carusel.org/ <<<

Tur Banat is a complex project developed in December 2020 by primitivprint.com through which screen printed and scrollable comics were created in order to unearth some of the historical facts about the Banat region, which had been swept under the rug during the Communist regime. Since I can only upload a limited number of images here, you can find the complete collection on scena9.ro and here >>> https://camineinmiscare.ro/tur-banat/ <<<


Will be back with better shots of the materials created, including screen printed stickers, posters, foldable comics, a pocket guide and postcards. Hopefully sooner than later. You can pick up some of these materials in Timisoara, at the Secret Garden Bookshop > https://www.facebook.com/TheSecretGardenTM <
