In Cluj-Napoca, Romania, “The Sparkling Gypsy Copper” exhibition at Galeria ClujEst features works remaking and simulating everyday life objects, which gain a Gypsy “colour” transposed full scale in copper.

Many issues remain to be addressed about minority exclusion, visibility and treatment in the EU. The first minority question to be thought of in Romania, which has been part of the EU since January 2007, is of course the Roma question. This is not news, but is persistent.

Galeria ClujEst, one of the new art spaces of the Fabrica de Pensule in Cluj-Napoca shows works, urban and historical phenomena with a straightforward inquisitive and critical angle.
Until 17 January 2010 The Sparkling Gypsy Copper features Gábor Lali’s works remaking and simulating everyday life objects transposed full scale in copper, but which gain a Gypsy “colour”.

Here is a presentation and interview of Sebestyén György Székely, director of Galeria ClujEst.
