THE EVENTS OF THE WEEK AT THE B5 STUDIO

B5 Studio, Tîrgu-Mureø
B5 Studio este, la Tîrgu-Mureø, un spafliu independent de artæ contemporanæ, rezultat
prin transformarea, în 2007, a atelierului personal al artistului József Bartha în
spafliul de expoziflie al Fundafliei ARTeast. Proiectul lui Bartha e unul ambiflios, în condifliile
în care, în România, lucrurile nu sînt încæ aøezate la nivel instituflional, pufline fiind
locurile în care se promoveazæ arta contemporanæ, iar cele mai multe inifliative le
aparflin artiøtilor înøiøi øi se bazeazæ predominant pe finanflæri private. Intenflia acestui
proiect este integrarea vieflii artistice din regiune în contextul mai larg al vieflii øi
scenelor artistice europene, dar are øi o laturæ pedagogicæ, de formare a unui public
de artæ contemporanæ la Tîrgu-Mureø.
Cel mai recent proiect al Fundafliei ARTeast desfæøurat în spafliul B5 Studio este Reconectare,
iar la el participæ artiøti legafli, într-un fel sau altul, de Tîrgu-Mureø (næscufli,
stabilifli sau øcolifli aici), acum activînd în alte pærfli. Printre aceøtia: Mária Chilf, Pál
Szacsvay, Zsolt Fekete, Dénes Miklósi.
Expoziflia lui Dénes Miklósi, Evenimentele sæptæmînii, respiræ un aer minimalist, mai
ales în informaflia furnizatæ explicit (lucru cu care ne-am obiønuit deja din proiectele
lui anterioare 1 ), spafliul fiind dominat formal de proiecflia pe un perete a unei imagini
statice øi, în partea opusæ, de o hartæ gravitaflionalæ de mari dimensiuni.
Evenimentele sæptæmînii – titlu împrumutat dintr-un film gæsit cîndva de artist – e important
în mæsura în care ne dæ coordonatele în limita cærora trebuie sæ citim expoziflia
ca pe un fragment din demersul mai larg al lui Dénes Miklósi, fragment din care,
la rîndu-i, lipsesc cîteva bucæfli. Aceasta este capcana în care poate pica publicul, cæci
lipsa fragmentelor nu este importantæ. Pe Dénes îl intereseazæ prea puflin imaginea
completæ a puzzle-ului: atît pelicula, cît øi emblema cu vulcanul Etna sînt obiecte gæsite
de artist, probabil nici nu conteazæ cînd øi unde, dar despre care ne putem imagina
cæ øi-au avut propria lor istorie, mai mult sau mai puflin insignifiantæ. Imposibilitatea

B5 Studio is an independent venue for contemporary art in Tîrgu-
Mureø, resulted from the artist József Bartha turning his personal
studio, in 2007, into an exhibition space for the ARTeast Foundation.
Bartha’s project is ambitious, as in Romania, at an institutional level,
things are not settled yet and few places promote contemporary art;
most of the initiatives are run by the authors themselves and are
prominently founded on private financing. This initiative aims
to integrate the artistic life in the area into the broader context
of European life and artistic scenes, but also has a teaching side,
that of forming a contemporary art public in Tîrgu-Mureø.
The most recent project of the ARTeast Foundation which took place
at the B5 Studio is Reconectare [Reconnecting] and it includes artists
related in one way or another to Tîrgu-Mureø (born, settled or who
received an education here), now activating elsewhere. Among them:
Mária Chilf, Pál Szacsvay, Zsolt Fekete, Dénes Miklósi.
Dénes Miklósi exhibition breathes a minimalist air, especially the information
explicitly provided (which we already accustomed to from his
prior projects 1 ), the space being formally ruled by a static image projected
on the wall and, oppositely, by a large gravitational map.
The Events of the Week – a title borrowed from a movie once found
by the artist – is important since it provides us with the coordinates,
according to which we should to read the exhibition as a fragment
of the broader action of Dénes Miklósi, a fragment which, on its turn,
lacks some pieces. This is the trap which the public can walk in,
because the missing pieces are not important. Dénes is less interested
in the rounded image of the puzzle: both the film and the Etna
Volcano emblem are objects found by the artists, probably no matter
when and where, but which can be thought of having their own history,
which is more or less insignificant. The impossibility of archaeology
and thus of knowing this insignificant story of the object are
the very material used in the present case. Moreover, the puzzle nor
only consists in found objects; the static image projected on the B5
Studio wall also contains objects “made“ by the hand of the artist:
he clips objects and details from “domestic“ photographs and turns
them in apparently meaningless “icons“, which seem to float on the
projection surface, independent of the medium their were subtracted
from. Any other thing in the clippings created this way is subtracted
from the eyes of the public.
But it’s not only about the pseudo-challenge launched to the viewer
to recreate the “original“ histories of the objects, a challenge kept
alive by the methods put into play by the artist – wiping the original
contexts and restaging. The “afterwards“ history associated to the
stamp is also part of this puzzle. Dénes Miklósi was already using
the emblem in the ’80s in his Mail Art actions. Many of the artists
