Ant Generated Future | Ioana Marinescu, Stefan Ungureanu, Dan Popescu, Smaranda Ciubotaru

Editie bilingva: romana si engleza. Pentru Stefan Ungureanu, timpul este punctat de lucrarile pe care le realizeaza. In consecinta, lucrarea devine o unitate de masura, o monada care ii structureaza viata interioara. In acest sens, catalogul se dovedeste un nou tip de unealta, un nou tip de harta, orientata temporal de un nou tip de cartare, un echilibru punctat care ii ajuta pe artist si privitor deopotriva sa navigheze printre unitatile de timp ale lui Ungureanu. Ioana Marinescu Ant generated future este o sintagma ce are la baza teorii derivate din sociologia postcontemporana care descriu anumite tropisme inteligente ale grupului. (…) Nu mai este cu putinta eroul civilizator sau modelator, poate n-a fost posibil niciodata, civilizatiile au avut un destin spenglerian ce nu putea fi preintimpinat sau deviat. Dan Popescu For Stefan Ungureanu time is punctuated by the works he has been making. Consequently, the work of art becomes a unit of measurement, a monad that structures his inner life. In this regard, the catalogue proves itself to be a new kind of tool, a new kind of map, temporally oriented by a new type of charting, a punctuated equilibrium that helps both the artist and the viewer to navigate through Ungureanu’s time units. Ioana Marinescu Ant generated future is an idiom based on theory derived from contemporary sociology, describing certain intellectual tropes of a group. (…) You can no longer look for a shaping, civilizing hero, and perhaps it was never a feasible idea to begin with, civilizations have a spenglerian destiny, after all, one that couldn't be anticipated or prevented. Dan Popescu
