Zina Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition “Border Marks”, featuring a series of recent and older works – photographs and objects – by Roberta Curcă, based on her eponymous artistic project and archive started in 2014. The opening will take place on Friday, the 14th of October, at 6 PM. The exhibition also marks the gallery’s two-year anniversary. 

“[the question of the archive] it is a question of the future, the question of the future itself, the question of a response, of a promise and of a responsibility for tomorrow”

The exhibition “Bordermarks” unfolds Roberta Curcă’s pioneering artistic research, the mapping of the communist signs designed to flank the entrance to counties, cities, villages and the country itself. Roberta Curcă began the research in Romania, near her hometown Craiova and slowly extended it to The Czech Republic and the former Czechoslovakia, The Republic of Moldova, Russia and the former USSR followed. “Bordermarks Archive” started as an art project in 2014, turned into a PhD-research topic in 2016 and an Instagram page in 2018 is now transforming into a personal exhibition, organised by Zina Gallery.
