This
infobox represents the place where the memory of the city is hosted through
different initiatives and projects. The need to link our present, our memory
with our recent past led us to this idea of such a place. For some reasons
this infobox was not constructed in the nineties, immediately after the
fall of communism. Now the conditions have changed because the pressure
of the new liberal market focus especially on the spaces left demolished
and not constructed by communism.
We collaborated with the architects Dan Dinoiu and Alex Pop and decided
that the shape of such a space should be a reference to the living unit
/apartment of the block of flats dealing in this way with the most common
way of life in most romanian cities.
The result of our collaboration was a model and an architecture project
which was showed under the frame of the project Va Urma to the people living
in Rahova (a critical area of the city exposed now to new demolitions) and
in Galeria Noua to the intellectual and artistic community.
The next steps are showing it to the city officials and trying to find a
place and funding to construct it.
This Apartment/Infobox should be a place for documenting our past on one
side, but also to act like a small kunsthalle in which new projects will
be produced.
