The opening of Dorin Rachmuth photography exhibition
„Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow-up brought
me to photography, but mostly a camera I received from my father when I was 16.
Later, I discovered Julio Cortazar's short story Funiga, which inspired
the film. Apparently, it was renamed Blow-up. I identified myself with
the photographer in the movie, in the hope – fear of discovering that things
are not what they seem, then, that they are not what they are, then, that they don’t
exist. Like Pinocchio, I faithfully follow the Cat and the Fox, looking for new
and new lies – otherwise, the Fairy would forget about me. It seems to me that
a man asleep in the park, a teenage girl smoking on the sly, a sad curtain over
the sidewalk, and everyone else, are always there, frozen sphinxes waiting for
me. Each with a question, which I don't know how to answer. Then with another
question. I stole their images, and I can't break up with any of them: it's my
travel diary, and the exhibition - an invitation to the road. Some images have
been deleted, the others are still confusing, they fight, they reconcile, we
are staying together. Narrative photographer, as I like to call myself, I
always try to lead the viewer beyond the gaze. I think that when this bet
succeeds, the photographer's gesture meets poetry.”

The Gaze of Literature Conference by Cato Lein (Sweden)
With the participation of producer Karin Starre
„In 2002 we had an exhibition at the Hedengren bookstore
in Stockholm with the author's portraits. The founder and former director of
the Romanian Cultural Institute in Stockholm (RCI Stockholm), Dan Shafran, came
to the exhibition. I was asked if I wanted to start a collaboration with them.
The mission was to photograph writers and poets from Romania, but also those
who came to visit Stockholm. Through a grant from the Cultural Institute, I got
a list of writers and poets and their phone numbers. I packed my bags and there
was a total of three trips to Bucharest and meetings with writers and poets in
Stockholm. I have photographed many of them several times and they are and
remain my friends.” (Cato Lein)

Participants: Carmen Bellas,
Cristina Hergueta and/or Tasio
Duration: three hours (workshop
designed and held with local poets)
Atelierul este prezentat ca o
abordare a proiectului Eso no es una
poesía, ca o propunere interdisciplinară care abordează relațiile dintre
literatură și cinema într-un mod diferit. Pornind de la munca scriitorilor și
realizatorilor de film, culese în capitolul #Presentes,
curatorii programului vor aprofunda natura acestui proiect, concentrându-se pe
procesul creativ și pe provocările de a face ambele medii semnificative. Vor fi propuse diverse activități performative și
participative, care au ca fir comun relația noastră cu poezia și modul de
exprimare și comunicare a acesteia.
Prezentarea va avea loc în limba
spaniolă
The workshop is presented as an
approach to the Eso no es una poesía
project, as an interdisciplinary proposal that approaches the relations between
literature and cinema in a different way. Starting from the work of writers and
filmmakers, collected in the chapter #Presentes, the curators of the
program will deepen the nature of this project, focusing on the creative
process and the challenges of making both mediums meaningful. Various
performative and participatory activities will be proposed, which have as a
common thread our relationship with poetry and the way of expressing and
communicating it.
The presentation will be held in
Spanish

Viewing of the artistic installation of Vlad Țenu
The exhibition brings together works and prototypes from the
"Miniplex" and "Synthetic Nature" series, as well as a new
creation, and is part of Vlad Țenu’s retrospective that marks 10 years since the artist's first personal
exhibition in his native country, Romania, organized this year at Galateca
gallery. His art
installations are modular structures, irregular looking organic forms reminding
of sea creatures or organic forms from nature, but with an underlying
symmetrical rigor. Their fluid geometries are generated using algorithms,
mathematical rules and symmetry.
Vlad Țenu is a
Romanian-British architect based in London. From architectural design to his
academic work and from art installations or modular assembly systems to
wearable art pieces, Vlad's experimental design works constitute a continuous
research and exploration of spatiality and materiality.
Curator: Andreea Sandu

Creative workshop "Poetry in life"
The history of the Poetry in Life creative workshop
begins in 1998 and, with a break between 2002 and 2004, it lasts until 2007;
then, with some sessions in Spain, between 2009 and 2016, and in Romania,
resumed from 2023 with an unchanged vision from the beginning to today. In the
90s, there was almost the only poetry workshop in Bucharest that held, not only
that, what is called a "creative writing workshop". It has an
interdisciplinary and still singular formula, through the concept that goes
beyond the idea of "learning to write"; because it constantly
redefines the condition of poetry, of the poet as a complex artist, but also
its perception. The meaning of the creative workshop itself, from the
beginning, given its very name - poetry in life - undoubtedly places it, with
all the discretion in which it has been carried out all these years, in the
vanguard of a literary phenomenon that has only now become visible.

Mornin' Poets. From idea to cultural brand. The first
100 workshops
Poets are said to be lazy, get up late, and you can't
count on them to be on time for a meeting. We try to dismantle all these
untruths with a series of morning poets, with fresh texts and especially with a
lot of coffee. On Sundays from 11am to 2pm, with a bi-monthly frequency,
Mornin' Poets launches into orbit. Mornin' Poets is a series of five
poetry workshops, where we write, read and discuss poems or ideas about
writing, our art and its movement across the country. Each lecturer will
propose a writing topic, so, at the workshop, the students will receive
feedback on their submitted poems. The project started in the fall of 2018,
with a first season, which included the following coaches: Miruna Vlada, Elena
Vlădăreanu, Svetlana Cârstean, Sorin Despot and Claudiu Komartin. 2020 meant
the move to online, for pandemic reasons, and at the end of 2021 we adapted the
workshops to the needs of the learners with a hybrid format, which we still use
now. By September 2024, the Mornin' Poets figures speak for us: 94
workshops, 91 different coaches, 19 seasons and many poems published in
magazines and even in their own volumes from prestigious publishers.
