Slash Gallery are onoarea sa va invite la prima expozitie in Romania a artistului roman, stabilit in Franta: Mihai Grecu.
Mihai Grecu s-a nascut in Romania in anul 1981. Dupa terminarea studiilor de arta in Romania si Franta , si-a continuat cercetarea la Fresnoy Studio of Contemporary Arts, Franta, explorand teme cum ar fi mediul, apa, viata in oras, izolarea si halucinatiile contemporane, razboiul, relevand misteriosul si subconstientul.
Aceste calatorii vizuale si poetice denota cunostinte aprofundate ale noilor tehnologii media si a unei cat mai bune aprofundari a stilului personal de abordare a subiectelor.
Lucrarile sale au fost prezentate la o multitudine de festivaluri internationale (Locarno, Rotterdam, Festival of New Cinema in Montreal) cat si in cadrul mai multor expozitii internationale (“Dans la nuit, des images” at the Grand Palais, Paris “Labyrinth of my mind” at Le Cube, “Studio” at “Les Filles du Calvaire” Gallery, etc).
CENTIPEDE SUN 2010 / length 10:10/ sound Stereo/ image format HD 16/9 25fps /
PRODUCTION: Mathematic Studio / Mihai Grecu/ Arcadi/SCAM
Un poem hipnotizant al transformarii peisajului,o serie de metafore ale izolarii si ale deconstructiei la limita spatiului locuibil, creand o vedere unica a conditiilor mediului contemporan.
Acest proiect a luat nastere in urma descoperirii regiunii Altiplano din Chile.
Simbol al izolarii dublat de peisajul sublim si de complexitatea bogatiei spirituale a facut ca aceasta regiune sa devina subiectul principal al acestui film.
Transformarea suprarealista devine o extensie logica a straniului si in acelasi timp magnific, peisaj.Aceste locuri cunoscute pentru lipsa oricarei forme de viata pe distante foarte intinse,dezvolta o metamorfoza simbolica,care le ofera o forma abstracta de viata.
Este o geografie minerala ,o colosala forma de viata,bazata pe elemente extrem de neospitaliere oricarui mediu biologic. O metafora obsedanta pentru o lume viitoare.
COAGULATE 2008 /: HD PAL 16/9 25 fps, stereo Production : Le Fresnoy
Absenta, prezenta si distorsie acvatica in aceasta coregrafie a fluidelor,forte misterioase altereaza legiile fizicii si afecteaza comportamentul fiintelor vii intr-un spatiu purificat.
UNLITh 2007 / HD, 7:50Un dialog abstract intre caini si oameni.In aceasta atmosfera rece si ostila,gesturile si reactiile lor cauzeaza tensiuni gata sa irupa.Agresiunea si perplexitatea muta trupurile si le distorsioneaza propriul mediu.
