The third exhibition (and last duplex) of
the Diplomatic Art pilot edition, Timişoara, 2014, was opened at the Triade
Gallery on Friday, October 17th, 2014. Romanian artist Elisabeth Ochsenfeld living and working
in Germany invited Bea Gschwend, a
German native artist, for a Romania – Germany duplex exhibition entitled VIS - (L) A - VIS. Elisabeth Ochsenfeld
says: „We met in Heidelberg, the place
where we both have chosen to live, then we came to live in the same house, VIS
- A - VIS ..., for 12 years, getting to know each other very well ( ...) Since
2009, Bea is coming regularly to Timisoara and Gărâna (Romania). So we decided
that Bea should refer in her works to Timisoara, which she has experienced in
her own way for many times, and me to stay with my Heidelberg where I live
since 1986. That playful „L” in our exhibition title (Romanian wordplay,
meaning “dream to dream...”) has to do with the transmutation of our
biographies. The definitive departure to another country, especially in the
period when I emigrated, is connected to a dream, a projection on the unknown
(...) „The dream” of my friend Bea is in fact the same form of projection, but
not bearing the same drama (...)” - selection from the exhibition flyer.
The exhibition was presented by Robert Șerban and was followed by a jazz
recital by Mirela Iacob and Teodor Pop.
