Catinca Tabacaru Gallery OPENING OCT 13 | Daniela Palimariu: All the Rumors are True

ALL THE RUMORS ARE TRUE by Daniela Pălimariu     Opening Reception: October 13, 2022 | 6-10pm  with afterparty by Dan Basu   Galeria Catinca Tabacaru  Calea Giulești 14, etaj 3, Bucharest Catinca Tabacaru Gallery is pleased to present All The Rumors Are True, a solo exhibition of new works by Daniela Pălimariu. This marks the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery after numerous group and curatorial collaborations since 2020. The opening will take place on October 13, 2022, 6-10PM, and will be followed by an afterparty with Dan Basu on the occasion of DoiJoi. Daniela Palimariu’s laser-cut stainless steel forms interlock into grand multifarious sculptures that occupy the vast Catinca Tabacaru industrial gallery space on the 3rd floor of the former ISAF building, a Communist-era railway components factory located at Calea Giulesti 14. Polished to a mirror patina, the works dissolve into their surroundings, treading a precarious balance between presence and mirage. They serve as slender foundations for delicate arcs, ribs, slices and sections of ceramics and porcelain objects. The labyrinth-like arrangement of the ceramics offer the same support to one another as do the mammoth forms underneath, but more subtle somehow, more long-term. Here, Pălimariu experiments with the possibilities proposed by the unseen, the images invoked by what might be hidden. Swirling irregular shapes drift atop the mirrored surfaces, shielding ghosts of unknown objects, but simultaneously revealing the hollowness of expectation. Throughout the installation, Pălimariu spotlights the neglected space of the inbetween, the  residual from the whole, the potential of the unintended.  There, within the dizziness of the mirrored love-seat, we share our nausea and embrace its rumors. Daniela Pălimariu (b. 1986) is a visual artist and co-founder of Sandwich art space in Bucharest. Her practice includes livable environments and objects, installations, public and semi-private events, all of which understate the ambiguity of human relations, the need for personal space, play and daily subversions. Alongside her art practice, she is co-directing the Sandwich programming and curating since 2016. Her works were recently shown at Nida Art Colony (LT), Billytown in The Hague, LISTE in Basel, CLC Gallery Venture and C5CNM in Beijing, Maverick Chelsea in New York, and in Bucharest at Catinca Tabacaru, Nicodim, and Ivan galleries; also in numerous institutional and curatorial spaces around Bucharest including the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Tranzit, Salonul de Proiecte, and as part of the collaborative exhibition VIDEO+RADIO+LIVE, collateral to Art Encounters Biennial 2021. She has created works for public spaces in Beijing, Innsbruck and Bucharest, and she co-curated the Staycation Symposium and exhibition with CTG Collective. Her works are part of the MNAC and the ING Global Art Collections. All the Rumors are True is part of the the October Edition of DoiJoi, the collaborative initiative by Bucharest's contemporary art galleries, institutions and alternative spaces.
