Thanks to everyone who took their time to join us at the opening of “Free Fall into a Standing Position”, a solo show by Ovidiu Toader and curated by Lolea Anne-Marie.

The current display at Cărturesti Carusel marks the first appearance of “Free Fall into a Standing Position” illustrating the initial stage of the freefall dancinc move, as described by the choreographer Doris Humphrey: the abandonment of weight and the experience of descent. The work is envisioned as part of a broader sequence that unfolds through movement. Future presentations will reveal the second phase implied by the title: the transition intc a standing position. In this phase, the energy released during the fall will carry the star’s body upward, returning it to an upright position through a continuous circle of motion and energy.

The exhition can be visited everyday at Carturesti Carusel from 10AM to 10PM.

Saturday, June 13th, from 4 PM to 8 PM, we would like to invite you to /SAC BERTHELOT 5 for „Cinema Rhythmic Stress”.

„The curatorial intention behind the screening program “Rhythmic Stress Cinema” is to re-present and re-contextualize, through a “zoom-in,” a selection of video works from the exhibitions “Rhythmic Stress / Tensiuni în ritm” (/SAC @ UAUIM and /SAC Berthelot). This approach experiments with the contrast between different spatial arrangements: the transition from the simultaneous perception of the works in the exhibition space (the co-presence/co-perception of these time-based works all at once here-and-now in a zoom-out pirouette), to the focused cinematic perspective, which imposes a linear temporal progression of the video material, a viewing guided by the flow of time.” - Alex Radu
