Event 1: BEASTY / Performance by Julia Kalman

During the Fine Art exhibition BestiART@ORIZONT, Bucharest on October 31st, 2022, we explored Hybrid Art.

This was when 20 or 25 artists-improvisers created living fiction inspired by Dan Botezan and Vali Irina Ciobanu, two Romanian fine artists.

Public Reading. Writers: Cezarina Anghilac, Marcel Chițac, Mihaela Marilena Chițac, Mark Perpits, Nan Constantin Ilie, Roxana Ruscior, A.B.ZAR, Valeria Stihi, Julia Kalman.
Meanwhile, I made my contribution with a performance art called “Mrs. Secret.”

In fact, I painted with tempera on embossed paper.

Feedback:

“It was like madness, but beautiful.”
“The most complicated common event.”
“The beat dropped like a bomb”
“Good Energy”.
The event was a blast! Demanding, even exhausting. It lasted two hours, but it had its highlights, with some readings taking too long and others being shortened for time constraints.
The finale brought out our repressed fears.

Most of the time, during readings, writers hurry to take the stage, read, applaud… all while thinking only of themselves, and then go back to their place.

This event was imagined as an interactive show, and we created it together with the guests who honored us with their presence, and to whom I sincerely thank once again. Among them were visual artists Vali Irina Ciobanu, Dan Botezan, Constantin Sinescu, Valer Dolghier, Valeriu Stihi, poets Violeta Anciu, Ania Vilal, prose writer Ana Maria Codescu, art critic Speranța Ștefănescu, editor Deea Sterea – Crux Publishing, and last but not least, theater director Ilinca Stihi.

Special thanks to M.P., historian, prose writer, friend, for the photos.
