Insert
2023
Various publications, local tram, museum board
Locations: Garrison Command, public space (intervention on a tram in circulation), Timisoara National Museum of Art - employees' entrance on Mercy Street (Strada Mercy).

Insert is an in-process infiltration into the Romanian printed media, art and culture magazines or magazines that still specialise in the visual arts (Revista 22, Observator cultural, IDEA, Etaj, Propagarta, Orizont, Capital cultural) distributed in Bucharest, Iasi, Timișoara, Sibiu. The inclusion of the Insert in the exhibition represents a support for the printed press and a communication portal for the group exhibition. The Inserts will be published before and during the exhibition.

The second part of the project also takes place in the public domain. This is a tram illustrated by Dan Perjovschi starting from topics such as revolution, freedom, multiculturalism, community, that will run in Timișoara during 2023, on tramlines 1, 2 and 6, linking important points of the city, including the exhibition spaces in Libertății Square and Traian Square.

The third part is a noticeboard on a street near the National Art Museum Timișoara -by the employees’ entrance on Mercy Street - which references the presence of the artist in unconventional spaces within the museum.
