In our series, we invite you to discover the voices shaping the exhibition currently running at the art gallery of RKI Berlin ✨: “Polisticks. (/s-)actions, /sanctions, /sections”.
Today, from “(/s-)actions”, we’re introducing Justin Baroncea and Cristian Matei (first photo), Sergiu Chihaia (second photo), Dimitrie Luca Gora (third photo).
✋Since 2009, Justin Baroncea has been recycling disparate objects, bits of discarded technology, and electrical appliance parts and turning them into seemingly useful UFOs. In 2015, he published a book about rabbits and satellites hanging from the ceiling, and in 2021, a book about foam, wires, and cardboard speakers and squirrels playing the piano.
✋Interior designer with a background in sociology, Cristian Matei approaches both interior and exterior spaces with concern for the social and ecological context and focuses on temporary urban interventions and art installations. The recovery and reintegration of elements resulting from various technological processes and
disused structures gives him the opportunity to reinterpret and shape space so as to draw attention to social issues.
✋Sergiu Chihaia is a visual artist specializing in fashion. He graduated from the National University of Arts in Bucharest, where he currently holds a teaching position in the Fashion Department. His works have been exhibited in national and international shows and are part of private collections in England, Italy, and Romania.
✋An artist born and raised in Bucharest, Dimitrie is a student and social activist who graduated in 2023 from the Photo-Video department with his bachelor's thesis, “Camera de Logopedie” (“The logopedics room”). He practices various art forms, including photography, video, installation, painting and sculpture, using creativity to support social and artistic causes.
The exhibition can be visited until February 6, from Monday to Friday, between 15:00 and 19:00, at Reinhardtstrasse 14 📍, and is organized in collaboration with /SAC Bucharest.
