ÎN CĂUTAREA NATURII ( The Pursuit of Nature)
Opening | April 17, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Dates | April 17 – June 7, 2026 Venue | The Art Museum of Brașov, 21 Eroilor Boulevard, Brașov, Romania Curator | Valentina Iancu Artists | Ion Andreescu, Emilia Apostolescu, Mihaela Cîmpeanu, Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck, Hans Eder, Micaela Eleutheriade, Nicolae Grigorescu, Uliana Gujuman, Hans Hermann, Karl Hübner, Hortensia Mi Kafchin, Gustav Kollár, Katja Lee Eliad, Irina Lukász, Rodica Maniu, Gabriela Mateescu, Hans Mattis-Teutsch, Andreea Medar, Friederich Miess, Ana Maria Micu, Ciprian Mureșan, Vlad Nancă, Irina Neacșu, Adrian Oncu, Sorin Oncu, Radu Oreian, Dan Perjovschi, Elena Popea, Mișu Popp, Alexandra Sand, Iulia Toma, Henri Trenk, Oana Paula Vainer, Miki Velciov The exhibition brings together botanical-themed works from the collection of The Art Museum of Brașov and contemporary artworks, building a dialogue that highlights how nature has been represented and understood in art. Structured into two sections, "wild nature" and "domestic nature", the exhibition traces transformations in the perception and representation of nature, moving from an object of admiration and contemplation to a space of human intervention marked by ecological crisis and environmental activism. Within this context, nature no longer appears only as an artistic subject, but becomes a space for critical reflection on our relationship with the environment. go to project ⮕ |

THE AUTONOMOUS MASTER ARCHIVE: A LOW-DEPENDENCY ECOSYSTEM
Concept, intuitive prompt engineering, and testing: Ana Maria Micu Code: Gemini 3, under a Google AI Pro subscription License: GNU GPL v3 Date: April 2026 This package is designed for the long-term administration of extensive artwork databases, such as a catalogue raisonné comprising hundreds of records. It is highly applicable if you are solely responsible for managing diverse communication formats regarding these works, including editable text-and-image documents, static web deployments, and automatically generated PDFs. Conceived as an autonomous architectural framework, the kit is distributed independently of its software dependencies, requiring active integration by the user. Optimized for a Windows environment, the system relies on a precise constellation of free, open-source, and proprietary freeware tools: Chromium (or Google Chrome) to execute the local JavaScript compiler, LibreOffice to manage the data matrices and render native OpenDocument formats, and the Java Runtime Environment to process the underlying XML architecture. To achieve the artwork’s conceptual goal of absolute portability and hardware resilience, the entire ecosystem is designed to be housed on an external drive alongside localized, portable iterations of these applications, ensuring the archive remains permanently self-contained and ready for execution across distinct machines. go to project ⮕ |
