SASHA BANDI VS. NICOLAE ROMANITAN
Str. Memorandumului nr. 8
---------------------------------------------
SASHA BANDI
"How beautiful life is now when my time has come
A human destiny, but nothing human inside
What will be left of me when I'm dead? There was nothing when I lived
What you found was eternal death, no one will ever miss you"
( Excerpt from "Life eternal" that Per Yngve Ohlin better known as Dead, wrote before commiting su***de )
--------------------------------------------
NICOLAE ROMANITAN
I hack and I slash like in a video game, I cut pieces of iconic images and I re-paste them in a different situation, on different materials, because I don't believe in any ready organized order, I believe and I trust in a medium that painting has shown me . Therefore I represent characters because I like their faces and their anatomy and I'm not thinking about their context and their lives, I simply see them like some fellows on my road and I don't judge them for their sufferings, political context and stuff. I simply admire them for their shape and endurance in time.

Grota was a DIY project founded by Bandi Sasha and Dragoș Bere that opened in 2013 in Cluj-Napoca. Not having the necessary opportunities, money and support to open a "serious" gallery, the two decided to create an exhibition space in the basement of Sasha's parents' basement, as a reaction to the contemporary art scene and as a form of artistic solidarity.
During the 2 years of activity, there were 8 group and solo exhibitions and 14 artists were exhibited.
In 2015 Grota ceased its activity due to the impossibility of renting a similar space, exaggerated rents and personal financial pressures.
-
SPECIAL MAGICK 2 represents the continuation of the exhibitional project GROTA, as well as a reaction to the exaggerated rent prices and the contemporary artistic scene of recent years. Its core DIY style, although recontextualized, retains a trashy spirit, motivated by its purpose to promote artists with little visibility, whose work isn’t institutionally determined. The participating artists, despite differing in terms of visual language, are driven by a common ideology that promotes honesty and absolute authenticity. Both the irony and magic produced by juxtaposing the separate practices of the 6 artists is representative of the exercise of bringing innately obscure elements to light.
-
The event will be held in compliance with all the protection and prevention of COVID-19 infection regulations. Wearing a mask is mandatory throughout the event. Failure to comply with the measures will lead to restricted access.
