Ivan Gallery has the pleasure to invite you to the opening of the exhibition Femina Subtetrix, a collaborative project by Larisa Crunțeanu and Sonja Hornung.
The Latin term immurare designates a form of seclusion in which a person is walled into an enclosed space. The word is formed from im (in) and murus (wall). An immurement leaves no trace except a smooth space, an invisible hollow – a wall too thick, one window fewer, the mortar too seamlessly laid. Shorn of proof, the hidden body passes into the form of a legend or a speculation that marks the place: “this is the spot where...” – “her ghost still can be heard”. Immurement involves the smoothing over of space, folding suffering out of visibility and into the hidden depths of matter.
Larisa Crunţeanu and Sonja Hornung began working together in 2015 on and around the wasteland opposite the factory once known as APACA.
This project is part of the Public Speaking programme initiated by
Xandra Popescu and Larisa Crunțeanu and co-currated by Dana Andrei.
The programme is made possible with the support of ARCUB, through the financing programme “You Are Bucharest” and the following partners: Alexandru Dan Photography, Andreea Goia Photography, Asociația pentru Promovarea Artelor Contemporane, Bucharest Czech Center, DAAD Promos, Ivan Gallery, ODD, UAP, Wasteland Twinning.
