One Night Gallery Love, Alina Bohoru
/ Solo Show /
A two-part solo show in collaboration with One Night Gallery that happened over the summer of 2020 in both Bucharest & Timisoara, Romania.
One Night Gallery is an event focusing on Romanian contemporary art, innovation and technology, during which a different artist is invited every month to create a solo exhibition. They provide the artists with the technical means to experiment with new technological ways of rendering their work. 
Tumblr media
For the Bucharest edition, we shifted from a single indoor location to multiple outdoor spaces around the downtown area, using solely windows and building facades. People were able to enjoy the exhibition as an art tour while taking a walk through the city, therefore minimizing as much as possible crowd gatherings in the context of the pandemic. As we scouted for spots, more and more businesses joined the circuit, resulting in a total of 13 locations - from galleries to shops and bars. 
The setups were divided into different concepts and mediums - from printed illustrations in some of the locations, to installations, video mapping, paste-ups or AR experiences in others.
Tumblr media
Process:
First, I sketched the two main characters that would become the leitmotif of the event: Birdman (AKA G Dog) & Beeple
Tumblr media
I then 3D modeled them in VR and we included them in an interactive Instagram filter that people could use during the event. We launched the filter together with the event teaser video:

Using the 3D model as a reference, we created a 14m tall inflatable installation of G Dog and hung it on the Știrbei Palace facade, inside Eden Terrace.

GUCCI Takeover
Another part of the event consisted of animating some of my characters and projecting them onto the windows of the Gucci Store in downtown Bucharest.

Two months after the Bucharest edition, we shipped the whole thing to my hometown, Timisoara, for a second event. The set was a large tram depot turned into a museum, with enough space to host all the artwork in one place: inflatable characters, installations, prints, and a tram that I painted back in 2019. This enabled me and the production team to experiment with a new display layout in a totally different setup.

Unique
Depuis 2012 et parallèlement à des projets visant à une pratique de la peinture dans un champ élargi (Ballets Barbares, La Datcha 2), Renaud Bézy poursuit obstinément dans son atelier de Montmartre un travail de peinture autonome, portant sur la tension entre peinture et tableau, sur l’ambivalence de ses inspirations (de l’esthétique rustique au mauvais goût), leur dimension politique, sur la peinture comme complexité et célébration colorée.
Avec des formats qui deviennent plus importants, ces toiles se sont confrontées à la question de l’installation, avec des dispositifs de « peintures-paravents » se dressant dans l’espace, autonomes par rapport au mur. Dans ce travail, les natures mortes cèdent la place à des masques africains et bientôt à des portraits.
Depuis 2014, intérêt croissant pour des projets artistiques débordant le cadre de l’exposition, créant une porosité entre expérience du quotidien et expérience esthétique. Participations au Bazaar Compatible Program (Paul Devautour, Yilan Xi), au City Cafe (Julie Vayssière), à Stand 6 (Julie Vayssière), aux convention aR* — noté aussi [conv-ar] — réunions discrètes (sinon secrètes!) d’artistes sur le modèle des convention de fans (type convention Star Wars).
* dans ce projet initié par Philippe Blanc, Etienne Cliquet et Paul Devautour, il n’y a ni public, ni exposition, tout le monde est participant.

Unique
Incorporating divagations, extractions, references, Radu Comsa’s ‘transcriptions’ (from one material to another, from one shape to another, from one conceptual frame to another) are referring to the art object as a form of intellectual replica of the artist’s own design of thoughts. His diagrammatic transcriptions (plates of cast concrete or mixed-media painting-objects informed by his interest in modernist architecture, concrete poetry, and atonal music) operate as visual morphemes expected to collide and further release extra meaning.
With his most recent painting-series - «Golden Ratio» - the artist tries to transform the quantitative rate indicators of arithmetic, the science of numbers, into qualitative colour-tastes. He uses methods doser to modern technological solutions, such as printing, the chromo-phototype, or serigraphy. Despite all appearances, he paints his work by hand, with extreme attention, similarly to the technique of batik painting. He disregards traditional painterliness and uses not an oily, mixed paste, but touches his canvas with a sublimated, more conceptual colour vision: he paints the diluted but unmixed, pure primary colours in a set proportion over one another, the colour-derivating process coming into being by colour-shifting, chromatic aberration.
Radu Comsa’s works has been included in exhibitions including among others Arken Museum, Copenhagen; Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Varsaw; Mucsarnok / Kunsthalle  Budapest, Budapest;  Marianne Boesky, New York; Peles Empire,  London; Trafo  Gallery,  Budapest; Spazio A, Pistoia;  Lucie Fontaine, Milan & Bali; Prague Biennial & Timisoara Biennial.

If at all possible, travelers should make an effort to acquire tickets to your performance here, however if that is not feasible, they ought to still get an attempt to go to the construction and its own exquisite gardens.
  Hanul Manuc
Nevertheless, the hotel’s restaurant — that was remodeled — is available for business. Through time, Manuc’s Inn has become the site of some range of events. By way of instance, the peace treaty which ended the Russo-Turkish warfare in 1812 occured in this construction. Manuc’s Inn can be a extraordinary, three-level arrangement and also a gorgeous cultural milestone.
Earlier it was closed down for is recovery, this historical inn was usually put to use as a backdrop for Romanian tv folklore shows. As a result of its recovery, it’s estimated that Manuc’s Inn is going to be returned into its entire glory and beauty.
  Victoriei Street
This can be Bucharest’s best selling thoroughfare. Therefore it is not surprising that a Number of the town’s attractions are located here, such as the Cantacuzino Palace, which houses the George Enescu Museum, the National Museum of Art of Romania, Odeon Theatre, Revolution Square and the Kretzulescu Church.
Additionally, there are many hotels, shopping and restaurants options available on this route. Victoriei Street runs between Piata Victoriei from the north west and also Piata Natiunilor Unite and also the Dambovita River.
This street was originally called Podul Mogosoaiei, but its name has been changed into Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) on October 12, 1878 later Romania gained its freedom from the Ottoman Empire.

The earliest diversion space within the middle of Bucharest, Cismigiu Gardens took shape at the exact middle of the 19th century and so were organized by Italian landscape architect Carl Meyer.
About that which was always a vineyard, he implanted tens of thousands of plant and tree species acquired out of Vienna’s botanical gardens and Romania’s upland regions. The lake itself could also be navigated by row boat at summer time, of course whether or not it freezes over in winter it will be likely to really go skating on its own surface.
Even the Rondul Român can be really just actually a tradition garden, together with busts of all Romania’s 1 2 best-loved authors, while there’s also different monuments into the French troops that perished in Romania at First World War, along with Americans who perished from the nation at the next World War.
  Village Museum
On the beaches of Lake Herastrauthis open minded museum hosts several hundred historical houses, farms as well as other structures which were transferred out of their original locations across Romania and re built with this website.
The Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum premiered in 1936, & almost all of its arrangements date back to the mid 19th century. There are several, nevertheless, which are actually older. By way of instance, some structures in Berbesti, a spot found in the center of Romania, back to 1775.
The Village Museum is really actually just a mustsee for anybody that doesn’t need an opportunity to venture from Bucharest to observe that exactly the Romanian countryside.
  Herastrau Park
This playground, that’s the largest in Bucharest, is situated round Herastrau Lake and can also be home to the Village Museum. First opened in 1936, Herastrau Park offers people a lovely getaway from the metropolis. One of its many features are walking paths, a Japanese garden and a openair theatre which hosts performances.
Visitors may also enjoy boat rides on the lake or rent bicycles to bicycle across the playground. Additionally, there are lots of restaurants located round Herastrau Park. Even though this park is quite popular with local residents, it’s large enough it not feels bloated.
  Revolution Square
The atmosphere for several kinds of Romanian associations, Revolution Square obtained its name in the violent unrest from 1989 that deposed Nicolae Ceaușescu and overthrew the Socialist Republic of Romania. An intriguing building to contemplate for a minute may be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This was assembled since the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and at 1989 Ceaușescu along with his wife Elena fled by helicopter from the roof until finally being attempted and implemented on Christmas day of the season.
Another milestone event happened here twenty five years before when Ceaușescu declared Romania’s coverage of autonomy in the Kremlin after condemning the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Timisoara - A Trip Through Romania
Tumblr media
I’ve been travelling around Europe for quite some time now, but from what I’ve seen, West Europe gets most of the limelight with regard to tourism. But for a true-blue traveler, who enjoys the simple joys of walking over fabled streets and munching from eateries on the roadside, East Europe would edge out the former eight out of ten times.  Before I set foot in Timisoara, Romania, my intent to go there was motivated by the myriad of information I had read on the internet about the life and history of the Balkans.
To enjoy a place, it is imperative to understand their culture and heritage which helps to appreciate it to the greatest extent. Romania is one of the quirkiest countries in the Balkan, probably known best for Transylvania, which lies to the East of Timisoara. The world famous Carpathian mountain ranges also trace their route over Romania.
Though the country is replete with wonderful forests and glittering steeple bells, there aren’t a lot of takers to tourism over Romania. So it didn’t come as a surprise when I had quit searching for company on my journey to Timisoara, with me travelling solo during the trip.
The first thing I noticed when I landed in Timisoara was the frosty winter cold and specks of snow falling around, even during the dying stages of February. It needs to be reminded that Romania has some particularly harsh winters and the best times to go around would be during June or July. During spring, there apparently are a lot of flowers decorating the fields on either side of the road.
The national currency of Romania is Lev. European tourists need to remember that though Romania falls in Europe, it does not deal with Euros. Nonetheless, converting currency isn’t a problem since you see a lot of exchange centers splattered all around the central bus station. But if you land at the airport as I did, you would have to exchange a bit of cash at the kiosk inside the airport (there aren’t any currency exchange centers in the airport perimeter).
It does end up a bit expensive on the exchange in kiosks because the conversion rates are usually a rip-off. I’d advise you to exchange enough cash for the bus to commute to the town center, where you can exchange the remaining for much better rates. My two cents!
I definitely need to talk about the currency notes of Romania though. They are some of the prettiest notes of paper I’ve ever seen. All the notes are brightly colored and really decorative with them having translucent pictures of birds and objects at the corner. See it for yourself!
  On the way to the town center in a rather old-fashioned bus, I realized that the outskirts of Timisoara were far removed from the organized and clutter-free environment you see around West Europe. I could spot a lot of rummaged fields on both sides of the road, with grey dust from the far-off chimneys settled over them like thin veils. Add the sleet and a couple of curious passerby into the picture, and you get a soothing experience into the rustic lifestyle of the Balkans.
The town center of Timisoara presents a different picture though. One of the striking things about the city are the colors you see all around the place. Timisoara is sometimes called the ‘Little Wien’, due to its exploding greenery through their various parks and flower gardens. Different parks like the Central Park, Roses Park and the Justice Park are some of the better ones to visit when you are there.
Piata Victoriei, the center square of the city is breathtaking in its beauty, especially in the night. It starts out with the Opera Nationala Romana at one end and the Cathedral Metropolitana at the farthest end. In between this region, there is a fountain named Fântâna cu Pești, which is a crowd favorite. Constructed half a century ago, it is decoratively chiseled with fish spouting water from the circumference. In the night, the lights around the fountain make it a visual treat to the onlookers.

Sitting down on the stone benches near this fountain would let you marvel at the scenic beauty of the manicured gardens on the side and the scores of doves flying around the statues. A lot of tourists feed grains to the birds and thus, you get to take good pictures with them flying around haphazardly.
Standing tall among a whole lot of trees in its vicinity is the Cathedral Metropolitana, the showpiece architecture of Timisoara. The cathedral has 11 towers, with the tallest of the lot being 90.5 meters tall. The cathedral borrows its building style from different elements, like the Roman, late Renaissance, Ottoman and Byzantine architecture. Though the total structural area is humungous, the construction of it was done in just about five years between 1936 and 1941.

The cathedral offers spectacular views inside, with interiors sparkling golden with their arches and sweeping corridors. On the outside, it looks more like a fairy castle than a place of worship.
At the center of the town lies the Piata Unirii, which is a major tourist attraction, due to the style of architecture adorning its boundaries. The square lies inside the walls of a former fortress and is a striking example of the baroque style of architecture that you can see around town.
Around the square, you could find the Palatul Baroc, one of the oldest and most famous art museums in Timisoara, the Serbian Orthodox Episcopal Church, the Cetate Synagogue and a bustling marketplace. At the center of the square, you find the Fantana Piata Unirii, which is a fountain that you can drink from.
This fountain has a fascinating history. A century back, Timisoara was caught in the middle of a crippling epidemic that was killing people in the thousands. The municipality was concerned and thus wanted to build a proper drinking water source to counteract the diseases. And thus, the fountain was drilled right at the center of the square for easy accessibility and also because water was available in plenty (the town was built over a marsh). Initially, it started out as an artesian well and slowly changed over time. At present, the water is around 25 degrees C with a lot of minerals, making it very tasty to drink.

Timisoara is quite a little town with a lot of cobblestoned walkways, and thus I found it easier to walk around. Quite close to the Piata Unirii is the Banat Museum. If you are into history, this is where you go. As you near the location, you would see a building with bulwarks all around it, and it might be a bit hard to find the entrance (I hit upon such a problem). In such a scenario, just walk through the nearest door you see, and you’d land up at the information desk. The people in there are quite friendly (they speak English), and give out maps and directions to the museums and the interesting places to visit in the city.
Back to the museum – The Banat houses a lot of archaeological material from the Neolithic, Daco-Roman periods and the Middle Ages. Apart from this, they also put out exhibitions now and then, with artefacts coming from all over the world. I was lucky enough to visit a temporary Egyptian exhibition which had stone sculptures and face masks of Pharaohs and some utterly bewitching hieroglyphics.
Apart from all the travelling around, Timisoara is also known for its local breweries. The Timisoreana beer factory dates back to 1718 and has been in existence until today, with it having a blend of traditional brewing techniques to the modern day state-of-art technology. Over the last three centuries, there have been various fire breakouts, but care has been taken to preserve the setting while working on the modernization process.
The Timisoreana has won different awards and honors at various expositions and exhibitions for its quality and consistency. It is interesting to note that the brewery supplied a significantly large portion of the total beer consumption during the World Wars. In the 1960s, the factory became one of the world’s first breweries to be completely automated. Today, it is open for visiting and if you get the time, do plan on visiting this impressive factory and drink a few pints on its wake.
This brings us to the end of yet another tour of a place which remains a bit obscure to the general populace but quite indulging all the same. Hoping to catch you with another equally enjoyable location sometime soon. Adios!
