'TRACES' 2008

Traces of Contemporary Romania involved sixteen young Romanian artists who—sometimes straightforwardly and often ironically—explore issues of culture as well as gender through a variety of art work.

The curatorial team: Dr. Ann Albritton, Ringling College of Art and Design, Dr. Elaine O’Brien, Sacramento State University, Mirela Ivanciu, and Carmen Iovitu, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest, have all contributed to the development of this exhibition.
