‘What If We Play Before Running Away’

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Images from the Silent Pressures exhibition opening on October 14 - an occasion to collectively ask what happens when different ways of perceiving, knowing, and inhabiting the world meet.

The exhibition concluding the second edition of Otherwise Residency, curated by Sabina Suru, brought together projects from Alexandra Costea in collaboration with Cristina Moisescu and Ana Zamfirescu, Anna Dumitriu in collaboration with Alexandra Ciocan, and Dominika Glogowski working with Mihai Stoica and Théophile Humann-Guilleminot.

Bringing artistic research into dialogue with biology, medicine, mythology, and environmental inquiry, the three projects created a space to stay with what is not always noticeable, measurable, or easy to name. How do fragile temporalities and materialities shape our sense of identity? What can science tell us when it meets vernacular knowledge, or history when it encounters the future? And what does it mean to embody invisibility when its consequences are felt on both individual and planetary scales?

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Atelier 35 and contributed to the conversation!

Silent Pressures is part of the Otherwise Residency program, Marginal’s core platform for artistic research at the intersection of art, science, and public policy. It provides artists and researchers with the time, resources, and context to explore questions that exceed conventional disciplinary boundaries, allowing art to take an active stance towards contemporary environmental issues.
The second run of the art–science research residency, developed in collaboration with the Institute of Biology Bucharest of the Romanian Academy and 2Celsius, connects artists and specialists in scientific research, pollution monitoring and environmental policy.

Instalația semnată de Marian Pălie a explorat relația dintre imagine, identitate și felul în care ne percepem pe noi înșine. Pornind de la conceptul de „stadiu al oglinzii”, proiectul a investigat modul în care reflexia contribuie la construirea și transformarea propriei identități.

Prin suprafețe reflectorizante care multiplică, distorsionează și reconfigurează realitatea, instalația a pus în dialog privirea, corpul și Eul vestimentar. Imaginea de sine a devenit un construct instabil, influențat de lumină, unghi și distanță, într-o reflecție asupra nevoii contemporane de vizibilitate și autoexpunere.

Silent Pressures - Opening 14th of October, 18:00 – 21:00, Atelier 35, Bucharest

Dominika Glogowski worked with Mihai Stoica and Théophile Humann-Guilleminot exploring anthropogenic fugitive methane emissions from aging industrial oil and gas infrastructures in Romania.
When the threat is imperceptible with our senses, how can one create an embodied encounter with this gas? And, on a larger scale, how can we hear and feel the damages that methane is inflicting on ecosystems?

Silent Pressures - Opening 14th of October, 18:00 – 21:00, Atelier 35, Bucharest

Alexandra Costea collaborates with Cristina Moisesecu and Ana Zamfirescu around microalgae that could act as biofertilizers for degraded soils. When rapid human activity clashes with the deep time of our planet, what does that change in ourselves? Can we go back to the origins of life to slow down or even reverse this process?

Anna Dumitriu collaborates with Dr. Alexandra Ciocan to explore the power of edelweiss and smoketree calli extracts against pathogens. Can the mythology related to warding off malevolent forces or symbols of immortality gain new meanings in today's context?

14th of October, 18:00 – 21:00, Atelier 35, Bucharest

The opening of the Silent Pressures exhibition, curated by Sabina Suru, concludes the second edition of the Otherwise Residency. Imagined as an open-ended exploration, the 3 artistic research projects developed during the residency, deal with the in-betweenness increasingly present in our societies. How can nature reflect back on our identity when fragile temporalities and materialities collide? How can medicine function at the crossroads of science and mythology, and history and the future? And how can we embody invisibility when it's menacing our very existence, on an individual and a planetary scale?

With works by Alexandra Costea in collab with Cristina Moisescu and Ana Zamfirescu, Anna Dumitriu in collab with Alexandra Ciocan, and Dominika Glogowsky working with Mihai Stoica and Théophile Humann-Guilleminot, the exhibition delves into topics of survival, evolution and resilience, across various scales of time and space.

Meet 𝗔𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟱, part of Romanian Art Week 2026.

With a history dating back to 1970, Atelier 35 began as part of a network of spaces dedicated to experimental art and young artists across Romania. Today, the Bucharest space continues that legacy through a programme shaped by the artists who activate it, moving between solo and group exhibitions, conferences and artist talks while remaining closely connected to emerging and experimental practices.

This autumn, Atelier 35 presents “Otherwise Residency 2026: Silent Pressures”, an open-ended showcase of three developing art-science projects exploring ecological and climate-related research. The exhibition follows plant metabolisms under abiotic stress, the variable potentials of microalgae and persistent fugitive methane emissions from ageing industrial sites in Romania, tracing subtle processes of transformation across living systems and the environments we share.

As part of Romanian Art Week 2026, Atelier 35 joins museums, galleries and independent spaces across Romania in opening new ways to discover the contemporary art scene.
