Irina Botea: A moment of citizenship - la MNAC

In lucrarile sale Irina Botea incearca sa reinterpreteze imaginile Istoriei asa cum au fost produse de mass media si sa dezvolte un sentiment de compasiune fata de protagonistii mai mult sau mai putin activi ai evenimentelor istorice, evenimente care nu mai pot fi accesate decat indirect, prin intermediul arhivelor mass media.

Expozitia a facut parte din cea de-a doua editie a programului Satelit de la Jeu de Paume (Paris, iunie-septembrie 2009) prezentand doua lucrari: Auditii pentru o Revolutie (2006), si o lucrare mai noua, un proiect produs de Jeu de Paume impreuna cu MNAC, intitulat Before a National Anthem o abordare ironic amara a temei: crearea unui nou imn romanesc.

In her work Irina Botea tries to reinterpret the images of History produced by media, and to develop sympathy with the more or less active protagonists of historical situations to which our only access is now through the media.

This exhibition was part of the second edition of the annual  Satellite programme in Jeu de Paume (Paris, june -september 2009), featuring two videos: Auditions for a Revolution (2006), and a new work, jointly produced by MNAC and Jeu de Paume, Before a National Anthem (2009), a bitterly ironic work devoted to the creation of a new Romanian national anthem.
