𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 | 𝑰𝒐𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒂 🌾 part 1/2 📍 Kunsthalle Bega Box @kunsthallebega Curators: 𝑨𝒏𝒄𝒂-𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒉𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒕-𝑲𝒊𝒎 & 𝑰𝒓𝒊𝒔 𝑶𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒏 👁️‍🗨️ 𝘖𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘚𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 2022 - 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 2023 • The title of the exhibition, 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆, is a direct reference to the way in which in autumn, in Mediterranean regions or in some areas of Southeastern Europe, vegetables and fruit are often dried on threads of string and then hung from the ceiling beams or walls of houses. For Ioana, this association has a special significance, being a reference to the agricultural activities around her grandparents' house, but also a tribute to the processes that involve physical labour, both in art and in daily life. The installation speaks of the intimacy of lived memory through the magnifying glass. With the metaphor of harvesting, we are granted access to the artist’s universe, informed by subjective past experience. Socio-political memory makes way for the installation of the reflexive memory codifying art both cognitively and emotionally, through which an abstracted archive emerges, a Derridean place of commencement and commandment. [...] Ioana has eliminated the borders imposed by walls and meticulously, she started to register and index all of the items which were found in her grandparents’ house at the moment it was inherited by the following generation, room by room, item by item, material by material. This activity turns the artist into a meditative archivist, working from and with reflexive memory, just like an agent. The disappearance of their users led to the abstraction of those possessions. Traditional documentation was continued by performative actions that sought to divide all the objects in the house into beads – glass and metal were melted and reshaped into spherical shapes, wood was fretworked into round elements, and textiles were hand-cut into circles. • 📸 Credit: Vlad Cîndea 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘤𝘰-𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘪ș𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘔𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 @𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮 ”𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘦 î𝘯 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳ă”.
