"Brâncuși after/over/without Brâncuși” is an exhibition about Brâncuși in the contemporary popular imagination created by artist and curator Dan Perjovschi.

"I don't know how it all began... perhaps when in Beijing, in 2010, in the apartment complex where I lived, I came across a fountain with palm trees and around six Brâncuși kisses. Carved in stone. Perfectly chiseled. Or maybe it was from Roxana Marcoci, the Romanian curator at MoMA New York, who in the 2000s studied Brâncuși's influence on the new generation of American sculptors... who knows?
What's certain is that I found myself making, collecting, and receiving images directly from friends or taken from the internet, showcasing Brâncuși's enormous influence in the contemporary world. The world of the elite, the world of the people, in fashion, design, architecture, the marketplace, the apartment block garden, etc.
From the Slums to the Penthouse...
A fairground of ideas, images, interpretations or misinterpretations, populism, globalization, and nationalism. Brâncuși in bronze, plastic, snow, silver, or in a funeral shroud...
Dozens and dozens of images...
Your mind can't comprehend, and the thought scares you. Madness of all madnesses.
Us. Brâncuși." Dan Perjovschi, 2023
The vernissage was attended by Dan Perjovschi, Ovidiu Șandor (president of Art Encounters), George Roșu (artist/founder of the RAFT gallery), and Adrian Lăcătuș (director of the Multicultural Center).

The exhibition can be visited from Monday to Friday, between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, except for the period of December 25, 2023, to January 7, 2024.
