ODD marks a ground where a set of interactions is encouraged – pertaining less to formal artistic activities and more to hybrid gestures, idiosyncratic reactions and self-reproducing curiosity.
Not constrained by an institutional frame, choices stem from the urgency of private encounters, taken as starting points for addressing the world.
ODD provides tools for action and resistance to all those seeking to craft and take pleasure in our world.
ODD hosts the third project in the Interactivity Series, an exhibition with 3 contemporary artists for which Modulab provided technical support and advice.
The Return of Bas Jan Ader materializes shadows of objects ectoplasmically densified, collateral to an insignifiance du politique.
The project of the two French artists is to create a dissociated audio-visual installation, with a black and white movie by Jérémie and an audio-guide sabrina is writing and recording. During their residency, the space at ODD will be used to give talks and readings related to their past and actual researches.
The project is based on the complementary approaches of curator Cristina Bogdan, who since 2014 leads ODD, and Mihnea Mihalache-Fiastru, author of the web series of docu-fiction and urban storytelling Şuşanele. Together, they want to lay the foundations of artistic and educational initiatives outside the limited space of the gallery through which to test live, in urban residential areas, ideas and formats that we have experimented with in our artistic approach.
The artist as agent of cultural exchange. The artist as agent of social change.
The display articulated at ODD aims to construct a communicative situation, which is already entangled, disjunctive, double-bound, and in an impasse: in other words, problematic.
Adelina Ivan’s installation at ODD delimits an immersive démarche into a universe of feminine dreams, school uniforms and girlhood pathos.
Development of a large index of topics on the relationship between civilization and water on the one hand, and the importance of the alphanumeric system in the development of our culture, on the other.
What Weight will look at notions of lightness and heaviness to think differently about art and society. Free of preconceived histories, this subject allows for new intersectional thoughts. It forms a nomadic compendium of disciplines ranging from performance to printing techniques, psychological states, feminist research, philosophical enquiries and visual work among others.
There are still modern myths that serve the same functions as those of the ancients. They are stories that everybody knows and exist in a multitude of variations but with a central model from which only deviations exist.
