What begins as a gathering becomes a living network—an ecosystem where artists, galleries, and practices grow together. Rooted in the Romanian context, it stretches beyond the fair’s duration, feeding new dialogues, collaborations, and forms. RAD Art Fair cultivates the ground where the future of the Romanian art scene takes root and thrives.
RAD Curatorial introduced me to the exceptional city of Bucharest, a place I had always wanted to visit. Thanks to the stellar organization of the program, our group had the opportunity to meet a variety of Bucharest-based artists, gallerists, and cultural initiatives located across different buildings and neighborhoods of the city.
I am especially excited to follow up on an invitation from Georg Elben, a fellow RAD Curatorial 2024 participant, to give a lecture in Marl next month on East German artistic practices in the 1990s. This is a topic I presented to the group in Bucharest and one I continue to enthusiastically research following this inspiring experience. Sandra Teitge - RAD Curatorial 2024
