Vlad Nanca / Janek Simon: REMIX

Opening: Friday, March 28th 2008, 6 - 9 p.m.

Vlad Nanca (Bucharest) and Janek Simon (Krakow) first met in 2004 during a residency at Casino Luxemburg, Luxembourg. Growing acquaintance and friendship between the artists, who also share similar generational and geopolitical experiences, provided a starting point for their joint-project in Raster. The exhibition takes the shape of a creative experiment, a peculiar way of doubling one's artistic capacity - the artists alter and remake each other's works by changing the context, 'improving' them, or simply translating them into their own artistic language. The result is a series of works of somewhat ambiguous authorship: Vlad's works are a variation on chosen early projects by Janek, and conversely Janek has chosen to rework particular pieces of Vlad's.

This exhibition was prepared in cooperation with the Romanian Cultural Institute in Warsaw http://www.icr.ro/
