Elana Katz, Monotremu, Miklos Onucsan.

 
The sixth edition of the Expanded Space project aims to explore the grey area 
theme.Through this theme we intended to question the methods of separating the 
public space from the private one, concerning both its physical dimension and 
the one pertaining to the public sphere; to explore the limits of gestures, 
actions and discourses in the public space; to inquire the process of 
establishing and legitimizing the frames of public interventions, as well as 
the extent to which these allow the participation of different groups and 
individuals. The theme intends to provoke a series of acute responses to the 
specificity of Romanian public space, which is now in a moment of tension and 
formation.

This year’s project proposes two directions of investigation structured as 
direct interventions in the public space and video works. In the framework of 
the Expanded Space 2016, alongside a series of temporary interventions in 
Bucharest public space produced or performed by artists Dan Acostioaei, Mihai 
Balko, Radu Boeru, Elana Katz, Monotremu, Miklos Onucsan, five video works 
commissioned to artists Florin Bobu, Simion Cernica, Grupul H.arta, Hans van 
Houwelingen, Vasile Leac will be presented. Each of these approaches are drawn 
from the proposed topic, but put forward and develop different perspectives 
regarding the reality of Romanian public space.

Expanded Space is a public art program which brings the public space to life 
through temporary interventions that includes a whole range of artistic 
practices, from sculpture or installation to performance. Grounded in the 
conviction that art is not only made public by its location, that its public 
dimension bears social and political connotations and rests on the choice of 
issues it investigates or debates, the program encourages the development of a 
new vision of Romanian public art, becoming a platform for critical thinking 
and dialogue.

A space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds, ODD 
welcomes to Bucharest artists, writers, critics, philosophers, performers, 
scientists, activists. Through residencies and informal events such as 
discussions, workshops, reading groups, performances, ODD provides for a 
combination of intimacy and playfulness, dialogue and resistance, from which to 
act upon the world.

ODD is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Romanian Artists 
Union (Uniunea Artiștilor Plastici din România).
