September 2012

Nasui private collection&gallery, Bucharest, Romania takes part into Preview Berlin 2012 and Berlin Art Week 2012, presenting four Romanian emerging artists and holding a debate on contemporary art.

Radu Belcin catches attention by new associations of characters, or objects, in a chiaroscuro-painted atmosphere. Francisc Chiuariu’s lattest series revolutionises the space of the painting, decomposing it in different layers: on the front oils, on the back typographic inks. Bogdan Rața is a sculptor in search of new human genetic forms. He uses new materials as polystyrene, industrial paint, plaster, synthetic resin. Aurel Tar is a post-pop visual artist, interested in the subtle mix of the cultural aspects of globalisation.

”The Soft Power of the Art Market” is a new East European fresh look at the systems that are now in charge of producing contemporary art in a globalized world. It reveals the challenges of the contemporary art as a soft power, defined by its geopolitical strategies and defined as an extension of the powerful global markets. The contemporary art between media and power is changing the equilibrium between the cultural capital and economic capital.

A support printed material is used as a starting point for discussions on the current system of contemporary art.

The debate in Preview Berlin is one of the many (Independents Liverpool Biennial 2012, Budapest 2012 etc.). The recording of all debates in various cultural areas will add to this material to create a subsequent book (2013-2014).
