CROSSCUTS. Artist talk with Ioana Nemes: "On primitivism and why Excel cannot be trusted"

Three years after her first exhibition in New York City - Monthly Evaluations, at the invitation of RCINY, Ioana Nemes will inhabit again the gallery’s space. Her presentation on March 6th will focus on the artist’s transition between various media and themes; and how traditional objects are now merging into her current visual discourse.

This event, starting at 8:30 pm, is part of "CROSSCUTS. Young Romanian Artists at RCINY", and will be preceded in the RCINY Auditorium by Piano recital with Anca Saftulescu starting at 7:30 pm.


This artist talk takes place on the occasion of Ioana Nemes' participation in this year’s Volta NY international art fair with a sculpture & painting installation show. Entitled "Don’t blame the messenger of gloom/ Don’t blame the messenger of doom", her show attempts to rebuild the bond between traditional Romanian objects and their lost magic/ritual potential. The exhibition is presented by Jiri Svestka Gallery (Prague). RCINY supports the artist’s participation to Volta NY.
