Ioana Marinescu

Exhibition: 22 July – 12 August (Wednesday – Saturday, 12-5pm)

Exploring the recuperation of cultural memory, Ioana Marinescu’s project works with the destruction of ancient Pompeii caused by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, alongside events in 1980s Bucharest, when a historic residential quarter of the city was razed to make way for Ceaușescu’s Palace of the Parliament or ‘People’s Palace’. Working with Bucharest-based choreographers Smaranda Găbudeanu and Iulia Mărăcine and using archival image, video, soundscape, testimony and live performance, Marinescu traces both events and finds parallels in the sudden displacement of both populations.

Earthwise

by

Beaconsfield hosts the PhD cohort at the Royal College of Arts’ School of Arts and Humanities to present an exhibition, event and publication series.

Exhibition: 22 June – 1 July (Wednesday – Saturday, 12-5pm)

Earthwise invites a place of meetings and relations, without limit or system. A focus on the and and not the therefore … is driven by the gathering forces of ecological, social and psychological crises that pose an inescapable reality for artists today.
