JOURNALISTIC NATURE OF EXPERIENCE
Bucharest, Romania
2022
Salonul de projecte (description below) operates out of a 1920s building which used to be the headquarters of the ‘Universul’ newspaper
Salonul de proiecte is a program focused on research and production, which promotes Romanian contemporary art through exhibitions, publications, presentations and debates.
They did an exhibition called Journalistic Nature of Experience, to look ‘more deeply at the locus in which the Salonul de project operates the former Universul printing house’
“above all else [the exhibition] seeks to encourage reflection on the print medium in itself, on the type of labour that this enterprise entailed, an enterprise that brought together multiple talents and trades, throwing into relief aspects to do with the evolution of technology and specialisations in the print sector, the circulation of images, the infrastructure and culture of journalism. Many of the political conflicts and much of the same questioning of the status of the press from that time are also articulated”

The Art of the News: Comics Journalism at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
2021
Relevant to Behind the Lines at MoAD
“Without shying away from vital questions about the role of representation in the perception of reality, comics journalists are nevertheless telling stories that urgently need to be told—in an immediate and accessible way. As such, the best works of comics journalism stand as compelling examples of how the news might be reimagined as an artistic practice.”
