Journal

Considering current approaches to artistic issues within today’s cultural context, we deem the publication of this journal to be necessary. An overly convoluted discourse, marked by philosophical pretensions and developed in the name of changing the communication model, has generated a state of confusion that tends to occupy and perpetually provincialize the artistic space. This situation is neither new nor limited to the visual arts alone. It is also present in political and social approaches, where structural forms of the avant-garde are adopted without hesitation and filled with local content—content that distorts sociopolitical and cultural reality, in accordance with an older tradition dating back to the nineteenth century.

We seek to reactivate the principles that once systematized the expression and meanings of modern art, using all the means at our disposal: images, translations, ideas, and texts from Romanian and international contemporary art.

We are convinced that an approach centered on content is beneficial to all members of the artistic community, from students to professional artists.

Rector,
Cătălin Bălescu

At present, the journal is available only in Romanian.
Some articles include abstracts in English, and the journal also publishes texts written entirely in English.
