Romanian Moving Image Art

An archival of research material on Romanian art, works on the moving image, and cartographies of affective spectatorship theories.
This blog is an open reflection on my PhD research at Goldsmiths and I hope would double as an arena where I can document and create awareness on the moving image work of contemporary Romanian artists. I also wish to open the conversation with audiences, the art world, artists, curators and other researchers on the main threads constructing my inter-disciplinary approach.
