Art Collection Telekom will be presented at MNAC - National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest under the title 'Shape of Time - Future of Nostalgia'.
'Shape of Time - Future of Nostalgia' emphasizes the strong narrative aspect of Eastern European art, relating the history of and stories from the countries of Eastern Europe. They are stories that reveal an engagement with the past or a vision of the future; all are characterized by a reflection on how history is constructed and modified. Who is telling the narratives? How is time shaped? It counts for the past as well as for the future. ‘Nostalgia’, as Svetlana Boym analyses in ‘The Future of Nostalgia’ is a symptom of our age. It may seem retrospective, but ‘the fantasies of the past, determined by the needs of the present, have a direct impact on the realities of the future’.
A public programme featuring expert lectures, a music performance and artist talks will accompany the exhibition.
