A conversation with artist Anetta Mona Chisa and curator Cristina Stoenescu on exploring the show ”Temporal Parts” opened at Anca Poterasu Gallery.

Flowing remnants of a nearby civilisation populate the gallery, neither infesting or occupying, neither found or discovered, but rather becoming in existence. The exhibition space is their museum – not mausoleum, their museum – not a landscape. And what may we discover that we did not already inhabit? Calcium, our bones, calcium, their shells, calcium, our interstellar event. There are those who are squeezing into the bodies of other entities. Others float off into some benign vagueness, little units of energy heading for the ultimate elsewhere. I like trying on the skin of gypsum, like a tight suit. Gypsum, in its sediments here, first gives to things their look and to us our outlook on ourselves.

The solo show of Anetta Mona Chisa ”Temporal Parts” is part of the artist’s month-long residency in Bucharest, part of the programme ARAC Art & Residency, opened between November 3rd 2021 – January 22nd 2022
