🎮✨ Live Drawing Performance at TAG Closing Sunday – The Art of the Game

During the closing event of the exhibition “The Art of the Game”, held at ARCUB – Hanul Gabroveni, a Live Drawing Performance took place as part of the TAG Laboratory program.

Members of the ArtiViStory Collective – Adrian Buda, Claudia Stăcescu, and Alice Iliescu – drew live for approximately two hours, developing in direct dialogue with the audience two short animations created through performative drawing. One of these animations can be seen here.

Within this broader exhibition context, visitors could also experience the installation“Cabinet of Curiosities – ArtiViStory”, presented as part of The Art of the Game, curated by Alice Iliescu and Adrian Buda, with the installation architecture designed by architect Octavian Ciotlaus (ESTUDIO Cluj).

We thank everyone who joined us for this moment dedicated to the encounter between illustration, comics, animation, and the visual culture of gaming.

Special thanks to:
✨ Elvira Lupușa, curator of The Art of the Game exhibition
✨ Raluca Negoescu and the ARCUB team
✨ Georgiana Toea, for creating this wonderful context for us, the members of the ArtiViStory Collective

It was a pleasure to be part of this final chapter of the installation , alongside artists and an engaged and curious audience.
