Anca Poterasu Gallery

Anca Poterasu Gallery Anca Poterașu Gallery is a contemporary art gallery established in 2011 in Bucharest, Romania.

Anca Poterașu Gallery is a contemporary art gallery established in May 2011, with a focus on supporting contemporary Romanian artists. The gallery shows both well established and young artists, active in various media – painting, drawing, art-objects, installation, photography and moving image work. The exhibition programme is centred on curatorial practice that encourages collaborations with art

practitioners from across the country and from around the world. In 2015, the gallery initiated an international exhibition residency programme – Plantelor 58 – by expanding the existing exhibition space with living and working quarters for the resident artists from around the world. With a solid platform in Bucharest, Anca Poterasu Gallery aims to further develop the international visibility of its artists through cooperation with galleries and institutions. Building on the success of the curatorial project space programme run between 2018-2019 in the Leipzig Spinnerei, the gallery plans to continue the concept of the “nomad gallery”, intending to open different project spaces around the world, starting with Brussels 2021-2022.

Artist Focus: Iulian Bisericaru | Chronology of Practice

A look into the years 2011–2014 of Iulian Bisericaru’s work, tracing a foundational period centered on the concept of a "bygone future."

From the deconstruction of failed industrial utopias to the exploration of toxic suburbia, Bisericaru acts as an ecological recycler of images. His canvases transform spaces of post-communist urban trauma into intense aesthetic experiences.

On View: Fragments of Poetic Nature, curated by .dorland

Anetta Mona Chișa is taking part in "all the forest stands with you, curated" by Anja Lückenkemper at Te Uru Contemporary Art Gallery, opening on May 31st.

The group exhibition traces the entangled relationalities between the human and the more-than-human world. Moving between perspectives of power, love, and agency, the project directly challenges the colonial and patriarchal binary that separated "nature" from "culture." Grounded in ecofeminist frameworks, "all the forest stands with you" approaches nature, land, and ancestral presence as active participants in a shared, living world, inviting a shift toward reciprocity and coexistence.

Within this conceptual framework, Anetta Mona Chișa presents the video installation "Tell me, dust, about your complicated matter" (2020). The work explores the endless declinations and agency of dust, an unclassifiable singularity resistant to conceptual appropriation. Positioned as a hyper-object that measures all processes, dust narrates itself in the video as a mythical creature, a parent material, and a planetary memory. By looking at how matter and meaning coalesce in these micro-particles, the installation serves as a profound means to ponder forms of coexistence across cosmology, geology, ecology, and human history.

Here are some snippets of the work.

🗓️ 31 May – 9 Aug 2026
📍 Te Uru Contemporary Art Gallery, Auckland, New Zeeland



"Tell me, dust, about your complicated matter"
2020
Anetta Mona Chisa

Tell me how it wanders and gets lost
and where it goes, and who it meets,
the pain it suffers, and how it works to save its life
and bring its particles back home.
Tell me the old story for our modern times.
Find the beginning.

Through the works of Matei Bejenaru, Aurora Király, Iosif Király, and Ioana Cîrlig, presented at SCÂNTEIA+ and co-organized by Switch Lab, curated by Dani Ghercă & Horațiu Lipot, we see photography transform from a mere document into a powerful tool for deep conceptual research. How exactly has our understanding of the image shifted over the last three decades?

Find out this Saturday as "The Picture: Explaining Photography in 39 Works" opens in Bucharest, highlighting these artists' essential contributions to Romanian photographic practices from the early 1990s to the present.

Structured around six distinct perspectives, the project brings together 39 artists and collectives who have shaped the contemporary art scene. It’s a rare, comprehensive look at how we see, read, and interpret photography today.

⚡ Opening: Saturday, May 23 | 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: SCÂNTEIA+ Corp A2, Piața Presei Libere 1, Bucharest

See you there.

O nouă intervenție peisagistică Poterașu Gallery. 🌱

REwildSCAPE reimaginează grădina galeriei ca un ecosistem viu, un dialog subtil între arta contemporană, biodiversitatea locală și memoria vegetală vernaculară.

Înrădăcinat în flora Maramureșului și în tipologia stratificată a grădinilor tradiționale bucureștene, proiectul reunește plante medicinale, specii utilizate în vopsitul natural, habitate favorabile polenizatorilor și peisaje senzoriale.

Conceput ca o extensie a viziunii curatoriale a galeriei, spațiul devine un loc al reflecției, întâlnirii și imaginației ecologice.

A new landscape intervention is taking shape at Anca Poterașu Gallery.🌱

REwildSCAPE reimagines the gallery garden as a living ecosystem, a subtle dialogue between contemporary art, local biodiversity and vernacular vegetal memory.

Rooted in the flora of Maramureș and the layered typology of traditional Bucharest gardens, the project brings together medicinal plants, species used in natural dyeing, pollinator-friendly habitats and sensory landscapes.

Conceived as an extension of the gallery’s curatorial vision, the garden becomes a place for reflection, encounter and ecological imagination.
