CASE STUDIES Romanian Visual Arts
The curators visit Galerie Plan B to a Victor Man exhibition In October 2005, Visiting Arts led a six-day research visit to Romania with support from The Ratiu Foundation. The programme was open to application from UK-based curators and involved the following participants: Sian Bonnell, Director, TRACE The visit explored Romania’s vibrant contemporary art scene through a series of museum and gallery visits and networking events with artists and curators in Bucharest, Cluj and Iasi. The purpose of the visit was to expand knowledge and awareness of Romania's rich cultural heritage, to stimulate arts activity between the UK and Romania and to develop sustainable networks and encourage collaborative working practice between the two arts sectors. Since the visit a number of presentations of Romanian artists have taken place in the UK facilitated by Visiting Arts and supported by The Ratiu Family Charitable Foundation.
Anca Benera Anca Berena and four members of her artist-led group took part in a Romania / UK exchange and group exhibition with five artists from the Dundee-based group GENERATORprojects.

The project provided time to research new areas of work and to network and build relationships between galleries, organisations, and artists in Romania and England. Romanian painter Adrian Ghenie was resident at Trace in Dorset between October and November 2006 as part of a project curated by Sian Bonnell and Kim Sukie Dhillon.
