Description
Vlad Nancă (b. 1979, Bucharest) graduated from the Department of Photography and Moving Image at the National University of Arts, Bucharest, Romania.
With works spanning the past two decades, Vlad Nancă’s reoccurring use of grids, ceramic tiles, mosaic, houseplants, mirrors and slightly distorted vernacular objects from Socialist Romania set numerous layers of history and materiality in motion. In this juncture between abstract and concrete, between reflection and landscape, memory and construct, his recent practice references at once utopian architects like Italian Superstudio and their continuous grid, ideas of flat earth maps, as well as predefined notions of the former East and former West. His early works employ political and cultural symbols, evoked nostalgia and investigate the tension between public and domestic spaces, all against the backdrop of Romania and Eastern Europe’s recent history and aggressive capitalism in the early 2000s. His current body of works examines the notion of space (from architecture and public space to outer space) through forging constellations of subjectivities, sculptures and installations.
