Memory Tags (A Lounge)
31 August - 6 October 2007
Opening 6pm Thursday 30 August

Amsterdam-based Romanian art critic, curator and artist
Calin Dan  
will exhibit his work at the Experimental Art Foundation.
Nomadic  
cultures, ephemeral architecture, urban sub-cultures and
zones of  
conflict are just a few of the tags that can be used to
think about  
Dan’s video/film/installation work—a mode of art
production that  
resists easy categorisation. Calin Dan’s audio-visual
narratives  
engage the viewer in stories embedded in a Europe of
post-Soviet era  
perspectives. The stories are often culturally unfamiliar,
yet entice  
the viewer to stay and watch a little longer (‘lounge’)
with ordinary  
‘in-the-world’ imagery and situations. The artist has
developed the  
concept of 'Emotional Architecture', a blend of personal  
observations, folklore, historical narratives and
architectural  
critique.  A publication of the work of Calin Dan, published
by the  
EAF for this exhibition titled  ... til here from now ... an
 
Emotional Architecture stopover will be available.  48pp
with texts  
and images by Calin Dan and introductory essay by Teri
Hoskin. ISBN  
978-0-949836-53-3
