"Stylistic diversity with limited liability" is the title of the permanent exhibition that can be seen at the MARe/Museum of Recent Art, starting on October 9, 2018. Presenting 126 works signed by 62 Romanian artists, the exhibition captures the transformations of Romanian art after July 1965, when, at the 9th Congress of the PCR, it was decided to "liberalize" it and remove it from the pressure imposed by the Stalinist doctrine. It is the year in which, according to MARe, "recent art" is born, an art that is both liberated but under the control of censorship, an art that diversifies seemingly without limits, but is always directed by the vision of the politician. The second crucial moment is 1989, when Romanian art expresses both the anxieties of transition, denies the past, looks at the future with hope mixed with cynicism.
