Exhibition View: Ride the Snake to the Lake/Thea Lazăr at Cazul 101

Biophilia Hypothesis is the human instinctive need to connect with nature and other living beings.
How many plants do you encounter every day? How many plants do you have at home? Where did they come from? How did they get to you?
We are gathering nature like collectables with latin names that give us joy and pleasure every time we take time to tend to them. Curating our own eclectic jungle in our little homes in the middle of concrete jungles. Disillusioned with the world around, we withdraw inside with our understanding green friends or we wander into the little green areas we find in the cities or around them.
In this exhibition I follow a few tales from the eventful life of plants around me.

Thea Lazăr lives and works between Cluj-Napoca, Romania and the internet. She graduated from the University of Art and Design in the same city and studied for a semester in the New Media department at the Academy of Art in Szczecin, Poland.

Rapid Response For A Better Digital Future

Eyebeam is acting immediately to invigorate artistic creation of digital futures at this moment of systemic collapse. As economies and everyday routines are disrupted around the world, Eyebeam is taking action to support artists who are imagining a more humane digital realm. We aim to help artists who will create new ways of interacting through the internet, new ways of engaging with each other, and more equitable relationships for sustainable arts practices and creative economies.

Out of Stock – open call platform launch

Out of Stock is an artistic-research project that poses as a journal. Initiated by fashion theorist and art writer Edith Lázár, it asks questions about the contemporary significance of fashion and design and their ability to become ‘rebellious agents’ for imagining (future) scenarios. It focuses on speculative ways of thinking and wonderings through the lens of Eastern-European perspectives and sensibilities. In collaboration with Ana Labudović – designer and activist with a penchant for RISO printing – the project aims to develop into a playful platform of experimental ideas and forms of writing, thinking, and sensorial imagining.

Out of Stock appears under the frame of Akademie Schloss Solitude (Stuttgart/DE) where Edith Lázár was a fellow for Fashion Theory/Design, January-October 2019.

Deadline for submitting your work: May 14th, 00.GMT (for time-tricking), with the subject ‘Proposal Out’ to: [email protected] For other details or questions on work-in-progress materials and ideas, feel at ease to virtually get in touch.
