Reg - open call Un-hidden BucharestReg

Reg (Andrei Sendrea) is 20 years old, from Bucharest and is currently studying Graphics Design at the National University of Arts – Bucharest. Wanting to experience something different from the traditional art techniques, he chose to focus on the graffiti area. Thus Reg has developed a vibrant illustration style based on a combination of abstract components and elements inspired by street art.

Reg, teaming up with Livia, were the winners of Pictăm Pereți Open Call, organized by feeder.ro & Lente.

 

 

EXIST presentation for Omnia Andreea VlăduțAndreea Vlăduț

What’s Exist?
Exist is a project that I’ve started in Poznan, Poland, using the doors that could not be accessed anymore, the opposite meaning of the emergency sign, a place which doesn’t offer an exit or an entrance anymore. I focused on abandoned cultural and historical buildings using as main artistic and communication method the EXIST sign that I have chosen (*EXIST sign is the colour and typography as the emergency EXIT sign). For this project the sign will have 16x45cm.

My plan for Omnia Space
I want to build a light box with the same typography and colour of the emergency sign.(more information, can be found in the attached document).The presentation of the word EXIST has two perspective views: from one perspective you can see EXIT and from the other EXIST). For more detail, the sign will be 3 times bigger than the normal emergency sign.

The purpose of the light box?
The space becomes the artwork. By adding the EXIST emergency sign I offer the viewer a closer look at the canvas. Once a building is abandoned it loses its purpose, whatever that purpose may have been (cultural, historical, social) and by adding the sign I’m trying to captivate the viewers and make them remember and maybe even re-give a purpose to the certain place (even though it may be just for a moment).

 

Andreea Toma open call un-hidden bucharestAndreea Toma 

The work belongs to the #ContemporaryLifeStyle project that depicts representatives of the past that correspond to the present style and lifestyle. The project was born after a reflection on the daily life characteristics of this generation, and a comparison with the lives of grandparents in which I discovered that there are existential differences. We see their daily use and we can not live without them, yet there were generations behind us who did not have the problems or our solutions.

In works, the elders and the elders are surprised in different hypotheses, some of which are even impossible in real life. Solving sentimental problems through the Tinder application or by being on the Internet, telephone, are subjects that seem normal to us but hard to conceive for their generation. They did not eat from MC and yet they did not starve, did not smoke forbidden things, and yet they are not the most stressed people. The question now comes, is everything that surrounds us useful, or we have other alternatives that we do not take into consideration.

We are evolving quickly without making the most of the useful and harmful things. We do not have time to reflect on us because we are surrounded by solutions to any problem encountered.
