The Seductiveness of the Interval
The Renaissance Society, Chicago
The work of three Romanian artists: Stefan Constantinescu, Andrea Faciu and Ciprian Muresan - is exhibited in a two-story architectural structure designed by studio BASAR specifically for that purpose. Although the artists' works are distinct in terms of form and content, they are united by a structure conceived as a stage set where the viewer is invited to reflect on the individual works and the viewing experience itself.
