The exhibition presents the works of 10 artists active in different areas of artistic expression: painting, sculpture, graphics, ceramics, photography, video, new media. They all have in common their artistic formation at the University of Art and Design in Cluj, Romania, where they have graduated in different years and where they contribute now to its academic development as professors.

Network is a concept that has various manifestations nowadays and which is widely commented and theorized in different areas. In an artistic context, it can be understood as a meeting place between artists, who, although expressing themselves through different technical means, in personal, original approaches, they build a common project together.

In this sense, network involves finding bridges between artists, between their creations, it involves coming out of the state of isolation or cultivating a strictly personal relationship with the public. It represents a response given by each artist to a common theme related to the idea of ​​communication, finding those inner mechanisms that bring people together regardless of geographical or cultural areas.

The desire to express, to externalize or transmit, to share one’s own creative vision could be the motivation behind this meeting. Individual presence is often not enough to share a vision, therefore a concerted action and synchronized artistic gestures are often needed. In this way, the message of each individual, even if different, acquires, through simple association, an added veracity and energy in order to connect with the audience and establish new relationships. This time, the public belongs to a different geographical space, with different cultural backgrounds, which is a challenge for each of the exhibiting artists, but at the same time the exhibition is an opportunity for the public to get acquainted with some of the best artistic production made in Cluj, Romania.
