Personally, this past year convinced me of the power that the contact of artists with the public maintains, of its absolute necessity and  of this connection and togetherness that we can define as our culture for a start.

This feeling prevails during the confused times that we are going through, making this exhibition, however short and small, important to me. I regret that most of the cultural places are inaccessible to the public. However, this disposes us to reflect and determine the place of culture in our life. Isn't it underestimating our abilities when we tell ourselves that because we can't go to an exhibition, it's over, there is nothing to do, the banner of culture is at half mast?

If we are to talk about culture, then it is everywhere. It is precisely there, here where we are, where we act and not only standing in the institutional places determined at different levels by the state and regional authorities. The fact that these institutions are closed for the moment also invites us to think like Hannah Arendt: "... it is not knowledge or the truth which is at stake, but rather the judgment and the decision , the judicious exchange of opinions bearing on the sphere of public life and the common world, and the decision on the kind of action to be taken there, as well as the way of seeing the world and the things which must appear there " . To belong to a culture is to know how... " to choose one's companions among men, things, thoughts, within the present as in the past".

Thank you to those whom I knew and whom I did not know for coming to exchange views, for being there during these few days of exhibition to share ONE fundamentally collective experience.
