ABOUT ARTIST
Central figure of conceptual and performative art in Eastern Europe since the early 70s, ION GRIGORESCU has been working on issues of sexuality, body and politics from both a communist and capitalist point of view, based on historical changes. He is the author of photographic series, drawings, paintings and collages, as well as performances recorded on film, which concentrate on ritualized actions around his body and go beyond art, leading into a private and personal life.
On display at Documenta XII in Kassel (2007) and at the Venice Biennale (1997, 2011), he has taken part in a number of international shows and his works are part of the most important public collections, such as MoMA New York; Mumok and Erste Foundation, Vienna; Tate Modern and Deutsche Bank AG, London;
Vehbi Koc Foundation, Istanbul; Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Turin; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherlands. He is represented by Gregor Podnar gallery, Berlin, Ivan Gallery, Bucharest and Angels, Barcelona.
KAMERA is a series curated by
AVARIE | a Paris-Berlin based independent publisher, specializing in contemporary art books and exploring the relationship between texts and images, body and space.

Labor Neunzehn is an artist-run project engaged in a cross-disciplinary discourse on time-based-art that involves expanded cinema, modern music, publishing, and the critical reflection in media art.
