Concept/Programme
The project invites professional artists from all countries, including Romania, working in the field of painting, interested of various forms of painting intervention, experimental painting techniques which may include collage, non conventional materials, object.
The project intends to create a platform for artists with a real interest in developing painting’s extensions both technically and thematically.
The programme aims to facilitate artistic and cultural exchanges, promoting the mobility of artists interested to pursue a personal research in the field of painting, in the framework of a certain topic.
The project is organized as a camp, lasting 3 weeks.
The surrounding area of the host institution, offers an interesting setting in terms of landscape and culture. The selected artists have the chance to work on a proposed project but also to reconsider their current practices. They have the opportunity to directly familiarise themselves with the work of local and international artists, to exchange future projects.
A catalogue and an itinerant exhibition are planned after the end of the project/camp. Each participant will receive a catalogue.

At the end of the project, each participant must deliver two works (realized in the framework of the camp) for The „George Enescu” National Museum’s patrimony.
Project’s topic
TRANSFER
The theme relates to the extended concept of “transfer”, conceptually and technically speaking. The project underlines fusion as sign of altered realities (becoming something else, other) and encourages the mixture and blends between all conceptual and practical levels read as reciprocity. The key words are pluralism, mixture, accessibility, incongruence, scanning multiple identities. The theme focuses on developing cultural and artistic contemporary resources.
