• Geta Brătescu More
  Geta Brătescu (b. Ploiești 1926, d. Bucharest 2018) is now widely regarded as one of Eastern Europe’s most important avant-gardists. In the Western art world, however, she remained largely obscure until her participation in documenta 14 in 2017 and the Venice Biennale of the same year. Questions of abstraction, the political potential of the image, and the subjective experience of self, memory, and history inform her stylistically diverse oeuvre in a wide range of media, which evolved under the repressive conditions of the Ceaușescu regime yet kept pace with the discourses of the Western avant-gardes. One of her most famous works is The Studio (1978), where Ion Grigorescu filmed her performance as she physically interacted with the room, measuring her size in the space and marking her place in the world. Her research on visual performative arts brought works like Towards White (1975), Self-Portrait and From Black to White (1976), in which her face and body play the main role in various theatrical sequences. In 2017 she represented Romania at the 57th Venice Biennale.
