“24 Arguments. Early Encounters in Romanian Neo-Avant-Garde 1969–1971” opens a series of dossier exhibitions and explores the 1960s and ‘70s visual and performing arts in Romania. Research of the Demarco archives in Edinburgh revealed, in hindsight, a number of forgotten narratives, fragmented or impossible to follow in their original temporal flow. The narratives evoke disparities/fractures in what might otherwise be perceived as an homogenous cultural landscape; they allow trans-national contact and transfer areas with both the West and with other Socialist countries to surface.
