‘Unleashing the Sins of Sculpture’ Breaks the Canon
Description
‘Unleashing the Sins of Sculpture’ reimagines sin as a means of disrupting the patriarchal narratives shaping the infrastructures of power and value, historical memory and aesthetic visibility. Co-curated by Cristina Vasilescu and Georgia Țidorescu, the exhibition brings together works by 19 contemporary Romanian women artists to offer a counterpoint to traditional sculpture – one that operates through instability, abjection and embodied subjectivity to expose points of rupture within the male-centred canon. Once the headquarters of the centralized communist press, the vast building now occupied by Scânteia+ looms as a ruinous colossus haunted by its ideological past.
