Ion Grigorescu
On the Ground

Opening: Wednesday, April 26, 2006, 7 p.m.

Ion Grigorescu (born1945, lives in Bukarest) is one of the most significant Rumanian artists of the post-war period. The Salzburger Kunstverein showed an extensive range of the artist’s extraordinary photographic, performance and film work. Since 1967, he has been working on issues of sexuality, body and politics from both a communistic and capitalist point of view, based on historical changes. Since the late 1970s, Ion Grigorescu has been working repeatedly with forms of memory. His performances go beyond art and lead into a private and personal life. His most recent works are avowals of daily life and show photos of his family and intimate moments.
