Extended Hours
Not Cruel, Truthful | Supernova
With solo shows by Liliana Basarab & Ramon Sadîc
Not Cruel, Truthful, Liliana Basarab’s solo exhibition, welcomes the public with works that foreground the everyday dimension of her practice. It brings into focus routines recovered through a drifting gaze, one that shifts from what is expected to be seen toward the peripheral, toward underexplored social niches. Minor narratives, captured with contemplative irony along the Beijing-Bucharest-Paris axis, take form in the series People of… and People of… details. From fleeting moments on public transportation to the banal gesture of handling a phone, now a natural extension of the body, everything gravitates toward a register of the familiar. Even the series of masks, which claims no specific tradition, emerges from the humble process of molding egg cartons.

Anxieties generated by social unrest seep into everyday life, taking shape as monolithic forms or dispersing into twists and vibrations. At times, they can be contained; at others, they blur our entire field of perception, ultimately overtaking it and reshaping its meaning. Supernova, Ramon Sadîc’s first solo exhibition in collaboration with Sandwich, brings together a series of paintings through which the artist probes his position within a context marked by social and political instability, constructing a visual meditation on contemporary uncertainty.
