Artist Talk - @ PAVILION | proudly supported by UniCredit Țiriac Bank
C.A. Rosetti 36 (intrare din Str. Jean Louis Calderon)
Expose Practice este o serie săptămânală de prelegeri cu artiștii participanți la Bucharest Biennale 6, prezenți la București. Vorbitorii vor discuta despre practica lor artistică, metodele de cercetare și gândire, într-un mediu informal.
”Deși am studiat un timp îndelungat în Cluj, nu cred că am multe în comun cu Școala de la Cluj. Sunt mai degrabă autodidact și prefer să nu mă afiliez anumitor instituții sau locuri. Mereu m-am bucurat de existența mea nomadă, lucrând dintr-un loc în altul. Ideile mele solicită noi contexte și puncte de plecare, iar acestea nu se găsesc în același loc tot timpul”. (Gabriel Stoian)
Seria de discuții este generată de curatorul Bucharest Biennale 6, Gergő Horváth.
Prelegerea va fi ținută în limba română.
Gabriel Stoian este artist conceptual și activist – nu în sensul că trăiește cu iluzia că arta lui poate schimba lumea în mod direct sau imediat; dar mai mult pentru că lucrările sale sunt construite sub forma unei reacții subversive, ironice și critice la adresa instrumentelor puterii și a simbolurilor acesteia. Practica lui se bazează pe medii diferite cum ar fi: intervenții în spațiul public, instalație, asamblaj, obiect, scris conceptual și alte câteva pe care nu le poate defini cu exactitate. A terminat programul de Master în cadrul Departamentului de Grafică la Universitatea de Artă și Design și Cluj în 2010, apoi a fost selectat ca artist în rezidență de către “Hŕbitat Artístic Castelló” – Cultural Center of Castellón de la Plana, în Spania, unde a dezvoltat și expus un pro iect personal în timpul anului 2011. În prezent este doctorand la aceeași Universitate de Artă din Cluj.
În prezent, trăiește și lucrează în București, pe care îl găsește foarte agreabil.

Expose Practice: Gabriel Stoian
Thursday, 19 June 2014, 19.00
Artist Talk - @ PAVILION | proudly supported by UniCredit Țiriac Bank
C.A. Rosetti 36 (entrance from Jean Louis Calderon Street)
Expose Practice is a weekly series of talks in Pavilion – center for contemporary art & culture by the artists which are participants in Bucharest Biennale 6 and present in Bucharest. The talks invite the speakers to discuss their practice, research methodologies and thinking in an informal setting.
”Although I studied for a long time in Cluj, I believe that I don’t have a lot in common with the so-called “School of Cluj”. I’m more of an autodidact and not so fond of being affiliated to different institutions or places. I have always enjoyed a nomadic existence, working from location to location. My ideas require new backdrops and starting points and this cannot be found in the same place all the time”. (Gabriel Stoian)
The series is generated by the curator of Bucharest Biennale 6, Gergő Horváth.
The talks will be held in Romanian.
Gabriel Stoian is an emerging conceptual artist/activist – not in the sense of being under the illusion that his art will change the world directly or immediately; but more because his work is built as a subversive, ironical and critical reaction towards the instruments of power and its symbols. His practice is based on different mediums such as: public interventions, installation, assemblage, object, conceptual writing and a few others that he does not know how to define exactly. He graduated a M.A. in the graphics department at the “University of Art and Design” from Cluj-Napoca in 2010 and thereafter he was selected as a resident artist with the “Hŕbitat Artístic Castelló” – Cultural Center of Castellón de la Plana, Spain – where he developed and exhibited a personal project during 2011. He is currently undergoing his PHD with t he same University of Arts in Cluj. Currently, he lives and works in Bucharest and finds it very enjoyable.

CHROMA FIT’s Master of Fine Arts in Illustration Exhibition The Museum at FIT
CHROMA
FIT’s Master of Fine Arts in Illustration Exhibition
The Museum at FIT
On View Through July 5, 2014
The nine illustrators whose work comprises CHROMA, an exhibition on view through July 5 at The Museum at FIT, are bound together by more than their love of art. As a group, they are inspired by the world around them in a way that allows them to create. From Trinidadian folk tales and the Triangle Shirtwaist fire of 1911 to stories exploring gender and race, amusement parks, cats, and even a dog that goes to Hollywood, the exhibition’s collages, digital paintings, e-books, animation, set designs, and graphic novels express diverse, often personal stories coming to vibrant life. These illustrators are also bound by the fact that all are 2014 graduates of the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Master of Fine Arts program in Illustration.

The exhibition’s title is derived from the ancient Greek word for color, and in its contemporary usage, refers to the purity of a color, or its intensity and freedom from white or gray. But these illustrators have something else in mind beyond these literal meanings of the word. They use chroma as a description of their whole class — a diverse group with a wide range of cultural backgrounds as far-reaching as South Korea, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, the Middle East, the West Coast, and even nearby New Jersey.
“The very mention of the term chroma brings to mind color, brightness, and intensity, and so, it is not hard to see why this graduating class gravitated so aptly to naming this show,” said Melanie Reim, chair, Master of Fine Arts in Illustration program. “This is a group of students who have brought brightness and intensity to FIT and to our classrooms. They are full of life and levity, and it is with great pride that we celebrate their studies and the unique artistic voices that have evolved over the last three years.”
The Illustration program at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) blends tradition with technology, offering instruction on creating hand-drawn and computer-generated images. Hands-on classes are taught by practicing illustrators to help students gain the artistic skills and the technical expertise to create illustrations that inform, inspire, and influence. Unique to the Illustration program at FIT is its nine-course selection of state-of-the-art computer classes, and the option to specialize in either fashion or general illustration. FIT Illustration students have won more than 50 awards in recent years in highly competitive student art exhibitions, including the prestigious Society of Illustrators’ Annual Scholarship Competition. FIT faculty members show their work in museums and galleries all over the world. Noted program alumni include Jennifer Caban and John Leavitt, founders of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School.
FIT is a leader in career education in art, design, business, and technology, with a wide range of programs that are affordable and relevant to today’s rapidly changing industries. Part of the State University of New York, the college offers nearly 50 majors leading to the AAS, BFA, BS, MA, MFA, and MPS degrees. Visit fitnyc.edu.
