Alex Mirutziu in dialog cu Razvan Ion : HEAVEN KNOWS I FEEL MISERABLE  
TODAY
"Nu am uitat toate imaginile romantice ale iubitilor, eroilor,  
jucariilor si fetisurilor. Eu sunt pe deplin constient ca tacerea e  
tensiune. In tacere tipatul doare, devine constient, fanatic. Ceea ce  
ma provoaca e imposibilitatea de a-mi gasi interioritatea din afara,  
de a-mi putea inventa o locuire, un spatiu necesar." (Alex Mirutziu)
"Mirutziu propune o reinventie a abuzului prin propria sa re- 
interpretare si recontextualizare a situatiei sale. In lume. Aceeasi  
care l-a abuzat si continua sa o faca, precum si el o face. Este un  
joc erotic cu societatea, un schimb seminal Ãntre prada si pradator,  
un joc al vanatorii, un scurt eseu vanatoresc." (Razvan Ion)
O discutie despre arta, queer policy, sexualitate, politica, Romania,  
Anglia si celelalte povesti.
Alex Mirutziu (n. 1980, Sibiu) este un artist roman care lucreaza  
transdiciplinar, utilizind scrierea conceptuala, performance,

University of Huddersfield. Lucrarile sale au fost expuse printre

Sebastian Moldovan in dialog cu Razvan Ion : O ROSIE ARE INTOTDEAUNA  
NEVOIE DE UN BASTON
Gradina ta de rosii, dorinta ta de a crea un spatiu de creatie divina,  
planta careia nu ii poti controla evolutia, tu care exploatezi aproape  
obsedant perfectiunea in instalatiile si obiectele tale. Pare nevoia  
de a lasa macar o data la voia intamplarii dezvoltarea operei tale.  
insa te opresti la proiect, la schita de ansamblu. Va deveni pana la  
urma o realitate curajul subconstient al lipsei de control?
Spatiul de creatie divina este pentru mine un spatiu de rearanjare  
(divin de naturala) a elementelor intr-un sistem. Il gasesc benefic  
pentru ca pot sa invat despre aceasta rearanjare si pot sa intervin /  
interactionez cu ea - pana la urma asta fac eu ca artist: rearanjez  
elemente in diferite sisteme - constient de numarul infinit de  
interactiuni intre parti, constient ca nu pot sa le controlez sau  
macar sa le cunosc pe toate. De aceea tind sa ma intorc la o lucrare  
de multe ori inainte sa spun gata. Pe de alta parte, am inteles un  
lucru foarte important: daca e sa compar o lucrare cu un sistem ale  
carui elemente interactioneaza, atunci e destul sa gasesc un numar  
(mic) de elemente pe care le pot controla, sa alcatuiesc sistemul si  
sa-i dau drumul in lume - el urmand sa evolueze in modul cel mai  
natural, interactionand cu alte sisteme - vezi public, critica,  
vanzari, notorietate sau cutremure si inundatii.. Asta e teoria mea  
care se verifica cu "End of Paris" - lucrarea m-a parasit de cativa  
ani si a evoluat in directii pe care nu le-am dictat si poate nici nu  
le cunosc. (Extras dintr-un dialog realizat de Razvan Ion cu Sebastian  
Moldovan pentru PAVILION - journal for politics and culture, 2009)
Sebastian Moldovan (n.1982, Baia Mare) este un artist roman intersat  
de cercetarea urbana si sociala. A studiat la Universitatea de Arta si  
Design in Cluj, Romania si la LâÃcole Regionale des Beaux-Arts,  
Nantes, Franta. Printre expozitiile la care a participat se numara  
Comfortably Numb, Kultur Kontakt, Vienna (2006), Dada East? The  
Romanians of Cabaret Voltaire, Cabaret Voltaire, ZÅrich (2006 â  
2009).  A expus in bienale importante precum Bucharest Biennale,  
Prague Biennale si Haifa Biennale.

EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION
2 dialogues

Alex Mirutziu and Sebastian Moldovan are in dialogue with Razvan Ion  
on 6th and 7th of October 2009 in PAVILION UNICREDIT, in the frame of  
the project EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION.
PROGRAM
(all events are in Romanian)

06 October, 19.00

Alex Mirutziu In dialogue with Razvan Ion : HEAVEN KNOWS I FEEL  
MISERABLE TODAY
"I havenât forgotten all the romantic images of the lovers, heroes,  
toys and fetishes. I am entirely aware that silence is tension. The  
scream hurts in stillness, it becomes conscious and fanatic. I am  
provoked by the impossibility to find my interiority from the outside,  
to be able to invent a habitation, a necessary space." (Alex Mirutziu)
"Mirutziu puts forward a reinvention of the abuse, using his own  
reinterpretation and recontextualization of his position in the world  
â the same world that has abused and is still abusing him, while he  
is doing the same to it. It is an erotic game with the society, a  
seminal interchange between prey and predator, a hunting game, a short  
hunting essay." (Razvan Ion)
A talk about art, queer policy, sexuality, politics, Romania, England  
and all the other stories.
Alex Mirutziu's work interrogates social processes with ephemeral  
emergents, using reference beyond itself and abduction of indexes as  
main constructs in an attempt to reconfigure the relation between  
information â form, psychophysical language and content, challenging  
origins and meaning. He studied at University of Fine Arts from Cluj,  
University of Fine Arts, Cuenca, Spain and he hold an MA iin Drama and  
Physical Theatre, at the University of Huddersfield, Great Britain.  
His work was exhibited at Liverpool Biennial 2008 , Optica Madrid,  
International Festival of French Theatre, GayWise Festival, Magmart â  
International Video Art Festival, Cum2Cut Film Festival. He lives in  
Romania and the U.K.

Sebastian Moldovan In dialogue with Razvan Ion : A RED TOMATO ALWAYS  
NEEDS A WALKING STICK
Your tomato garden, your desire to create a space of divine creation,  
the plant whose evolution you cannot control, you exploit perfection  
almost obsessively in your installations and objects. It seems to be  
the need to leave to chance, at least for one time, the development of  
your artwork. However you stop at the project, at the general sketch.  
Will the subconscious courage of the lack of control eventually become  
a reality?
To me, the space of divine creation is a space of a (divinely natural)  
reorganization of the elements in a given system. I find it favorable  
because I can learn about this reorganizing and I can interfere /  
interact with it - after all, this is what I do as an artist: I  
reorganize elements in various systems - aware of the infinite number  
of interactions between parts, aware that I cannot control or at least  
know them all. And that's why I tend to come back on a work many times  
before saying 'it's done'.
On the other hand, I understood a very important thing: if I were to  
compare one of my works with a system whose elements interact, then it  
would be enough to find a number (minimum) of elements which I can  
control, to build the system and deliver it (set free) to the world -  
then it would evolve in the most natural way possible, interacting  
with other systems - see public, critics, sales, notoriety or  
earthquakes and floods. That is my theory that verifies itself with  
the "End of Paris" - the work that has left me for some years and has  
evolved in directions that I haven't dictated and maybe don't even know.
