February is here, it’s another shitty day in London, but meanwhile, my exhibition opens up today in Bucharest. 18:00 at Galeria Noua. Be there! :)

Between the 1st and the 25th of February I will be showing 3 of the series that are also shown on this website in a group exhibition in Bucharest. The exhibition is called “Stai putin…” (”Hang on a second…” - although it’s a “freestyle” translation) and it’s beeing held at Galeria Noua, in Bucharest, Romania. If you leave in Bucharest or intend to visit it in the next month, go and see it. The opening is on the 1st of February at 18:00. More details on the location at www.galerianoua.ro.

The 3 series are:

Common Places
Cursed Forest
You Are Not Free

Astazi s-a intamplat un lucru tragic pentru mine. Mi s-a stricat mecanismul de oglinzi de la aparat (asta e concluzia la care am ajuns din ce am citit pe dpreview). Maine il duc la reperat. Intre timp nu mai am ochi. Voi reveni cand mi-i pun la loc.
