Location: Romexpo Central Pavilion
”The Scemtovici & Benowitz Gallery is a creative space of the current era, with spearheads thrown into the future, a place for young creators and a good laboratory for observing what was created before and laid the foundations of what we are today. Amid the (dis)order of post-disciplinarity and of the eclecticism within art, in our (meta)gallery space dedicated to contemporary creation, we want to connect decency with boldness, to host artists who challenge truths, to open (new) paths for some unjustly forgotten in their studios, as well as for the established.” - Raluca Ilaria Demetrescu, curator and artist
