Red Spot

The public art project Red Spot came to life in 2007, in partnership with architect Adriana Mereuta and the University of Architecture and Urbanism “Ion Mincu”. The project had its first sighting in “start Dambovita” where it “signaled” one of the biggest problems in the Romanian capital – the Dambovita River (expo / polls / performance / promo / artistic montage). The project is meant to underline parts of Bucharest left to rust, which however are representative for the city – thus presenting them to the passer-by “in a new light”. The second intervention was a protest with the same objective. In 2008, the Red Spot project was part of the program of public art I love Bucharest, part of the European Year for Intercultural Dialogue, which was supported by ProHelvetia through United Experts. It is an art gesture constructed as a signal-project, a project meant to warn the people of Bucharest –inhabitants and authorities, individuals and private companies – and it had as objectives: a building, a street or a monument.
