Nu te supÄra, frate ! este un joc care porneÈte de la premise de egalitate
Èi *fair play*, dar care se bazeaza pe limitele hazardului prin aruncarea
zarului pentru a-l submina pe partener. Èanse egale, competiÈie inegalÄ.
Varianta apologeticÄ *Sorry* are mai degrabÄ rolul unei ironii care
disculpÄ jucÄtorul care avanseazÄ devansÃnd-ul pe celÄlalt. Progres prin
regresul vecinÄtÄÈii. Ideologia jocului reflectÄ paradigma ideologicÄ a
capitalismului.

Christian Paraschiv lanseazÄ invitaÈia la un joc care nu ne este strÄin, un
joc cultural poate specific nu doar unei generaÈii, sau al unei societÄÈi,
ÃnsÄ dezbatearea Ãn jurul practicilor naÈionale, al mecanismelor din
interiorul comunitÄÈii artistice Ãnainte Èi dupÄ 1990, al fricÈiunilor Èi
dinamicilor socio-politice este deschisÄ.

Èi artistul Èi curatorul au intrat Ãn joc. Dincolo de controlul Èi
autoritatea pendulativÄ dintre cei doi rezultatul colaborÄrii este cel care
primeazÄ. Principiul lucrului Ãn echipÄ este un ideal cultural, dar Ãn
egalÄ mÄsurÄ realitate posibilÄ Ãn mÄsura asumÄrii reciprocitÄÈii Èi
libertÄÈii creative.



De la momentul expoziÈional remarcabil din anul 2007 (MNAC/Artexpo,
BucureÈti) semnat Christian Paraschiv, curator Mihai Oroveanu, artistul
revine cu un discurs Ãn care amprenta personalÄ Ãntodeauna gravÄ Èi asumat
ironicÄ, dublatÄ de preocupÄrile tehnologice Èi conceptuale este angajatÄ
Ãntr-o recontextualizare uÈor relaxatÄ. Experimentul autoreferenÈial se
extinde languros cÄtre lumea din care artistul face parte, aici Èi acolo,
Ãntre douÄ geografii, Ãntre tempo-ul actualitÄÈii Èi urma unei ritmicitÄÈi
care Ãl defineÈte. Corpul personal este corpul social pe care Ãl poate
observa cu detaÈarea jucÄtorului experimentat.

Sorry!  is a game that starts from the premise of equality and fair play,
but which relies on the limits of a fluke by throwing the dice to undermine
the partner. Equal opportunities, unequal competition. The apologetic
version *Sorry* is rather an irony with exculpatory role for the player
progressing ahead of the other. Progress through the decline of vicinity.
The ideology of the game reflects the ideological paradigm of capitalism.

Christian Paraschiv lures us into a game that is not foreign to us, a
cultural game perhaps not only specific to a generation, or a society, yet
challenging the practices around national mechanisms within the artistic
community before and after 1990 and the socio -political friction and
dynamic is open.

Both the artist and curator came into play. Beyond the control and
balancing authority between the two, the result of collaboration is the one
that prevails. The principle of teamwork is a cultural ideal, but equally
possible reality through the extent of reciprocity and creative freedom.



Since the remarkable exhibition from 2007 (MNAC / Artexpo, Bucharest)
signed by Christian Paraschiv, curator Mihai Oroveanu,  the artist returns
with a discourse in which his personal touch, always deep and ironic,
coupled with technological and conceptual concerns is engaged in a slightly
relaxed recontextualization. The self-referential experiment extends
languishingly towards the world the artist is part of, here and there,
between two geographies, between the tempo of actuality and the line of a
defining rhythm. The personal body is the social body he is able to observe
with the detachment of an experienced player.
