INTERVIEW: ALEXANDRU BUESCU 15/04/2023

"Being an artist today is a tough profession, which requires a lot of work, research, study, tenacity and patience. In most cases, unfortunately, these actions are supported only by the passion, the love and the curiosity of each artist. Not necessarily by a well thought out economic system. I wish one day to be able to pay my monthly bills from doing my profession only, not something else. This tells a lot about the society we live in."

Please have a few minutes and read this full interview I did somewhere in September 2021. A friend reminded me of it. ✨🧑🏻‍💻🏂
From my little universe I wish you all a nice Saturday!

parcă revin de unde am plecat
dar sunt atâtea garduri distruse
garduri pe creier și în suflet
sunt sute de bănci pentru oameni răniți sufletește

but there are so many broken fences
fences on the brain and in the soul
there are hundreds of benches for soul wounded people
and for children who are not allowed to jump fences
benches for unknown heroes
why are there benches for unknown heroes..

Louise Bourgeois made art to make sense of her turbulent childhood. 01/03/2023

Louise Joséphine Bourgeois was a French-American artist. Although she is best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art, Bourgeois was also a prolific painter and printmaker. She explored a variety of themes over the course of her long career including domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, as well as death and the unconscious. These themes connect to events from her childhood which she considered to be a therapeutic process. Although Bourgeois exhibited with the Abstract Expressionists and her work has much in common with Surrealism and Feminist art, she was not formally affiliated with a particular artistic movement. ❤️[source Wiki]

People change for different reasons. Most of the time these inner changes take place under less pleasant conditions. Are the profound changes that transform our relationship with ourselves, with understanding the path that ideas and emotions take on the highway between soul and mind, how we relate to others, and how we manage to understand life and the passage of time.
How have the changes in your life left their mark? What has changed? What or who made a big difference in your life?
Sometimes I equate change with the desire and courage to push your own boundaries, boundaries that, more often than not, have been carefully constructed and manipulated by the slightly agitated society in which we are forced to live in. Perhaps I'm wrong.
I remembered an article I read a few months ago. It's by John Maxwell, it's called: "4 Reasons to believe people can change."
1. People change when they are hurt enough that they have to.
2. People change when they see enough to be inspired.
3. People change when they learn enough to want to change something around them.
4. People change when they get enough to be able to make changes.

Let this moment of transition from one year to another, celebrated all over the world through different rituals, be one in which the emotion of change is a valuable tool that we can call upon with confidence and not fear.
Wishing you lots of love, joy, and happiness. ✨✨✨

RO

Oamenii se schimbă din diferite motive. De cele mai multe ori aceste schimbări interioare au loc în condiții mai puțin plăcute.
Sunt schimbări profunde care ne transformă relația cu noi înșine, prin înțelegerea drumului pe care o parcurg ideile și emoțiile pe autostrada dintre suflet și minte, modul în care relaționăm cu ceilalți și cm reușim să înțelegem viața și trecerea timpului.
Cum și-au lăsat amprenta schimbările din viața ta? Ce s-a schimbat? Ce sau cine a făcut o mare diferență în viața ta?
Uneori echivalez schimbarea cu dorința și curajul de a-ți depăși propriile limite, limite care, de cele mai multe ori, au fost atent construite și manipulate de societatea ușor agitată în care suntem forțați să trăim. Poate că mă înșel.
Mi-am adus aminte de un articol pe care l-am citit acum câteva luni. Este de John Maxwell, se numește: „4 motive pentru a crede că oamenii se pot schimba”.
1. Oamenii se schimbă atunci când sunt suficient de răniți încât trebuie.
2. Oamenii se schimbă atunci când văd suficient pentru a fi inspirați.
3. Oamenii se schimbă atunci când învață suficient încât vor să schimbe ceva în jurul lor.
4. Oamenii se schimbă atunci când obțin suficient pentru a putea face schimbări.

Fie ca acest moment de tranziție de la un an la altul, celebrat în întreaga lume prin diferite ritualuri, să fie unul în care emoția schimbării este un instrument valoros la care putem apela cu încredere și nu cu frică.
Vă doresc multă dragoste, bucurie și fericire. ✨✨✨

40 Minutes Meeting - Alexandru Buescu 07/12/2022

EN
In the series of the online meetings that I initiated some time ago, I recently had a wonderful dialogue with an actress who wants to create a performance piece starting from the topic of "separation" and how this has manifested in her life. I would really like to be able to have more meetings like this. They help me not stray too far from my own artistic practice and provide an optimal framework where dialogue, curiosity, collaboration and conceptualization are vital elements of our interaction.
It would be extremely helpful for those who read this message to forward it on their pages (Facebook, Instagram, email) so that it can reach where there are people interested in having such meetings with me.
You can find the link to the appointments below and the time slot can be mutually agreed upon:

În seria întâlnirilor online pe care le-am inițiat în urmă cu ceva timp, recent, am avut parte de un dialog minunat cu o actriță care vrea să își creeze un performance plecând de la subiectul despărțirii și cm acest lucru s-a manifestat în viața ei. Mi-aș dori foarte mult să reușesc să am mai des astfel de întâlniri. Ele mă ajută să nu mă depărtez foarte mult de propria mea practică artistică și oferă un cadru optim în care dialogul, curiozitatea, colaborarea și conceptualizarea sunt elemente vitale ale interacțiunii noastre.

In the eye of the storm, I have always found my refuge by doing my art as part of a complex ritual of healing, self-transformation and letting go. Perhaps, the most interesting works I did have been products of powerful emotional moments, not pleasant at all, happening in my personal life. But I have also been helped by having a few amazing friends and my parents that helped me overcome these overwhelming painful moments. Metaphorically speaking, these moments look, feel, and have the force of an iceberg, at least for me. On the outside you can see only a tiny, superficial blue splendour of a piece of ice. Below the water is an entire construction formed with pain, toxic and abusive behaviour, trauma, strange love, coldness, fragility, hectic life, instant hook-ups etc
The image below is a screenshot from the most recent text and video-based work, titled “I had to close my eyes” a testimony, a reminder for me to understand and learn to let go of pain.

RO
În mijlocul furtunii, mi-am găsit întotdeauna refugiul în a-mi realiza arta ca parte a unui ritual complex de vindecare, auto-transformare și eliberare. Poate că cele mai interesante lucrări pe care le-am făcut au fost produse ale unor momente emoționale puternice, deloc plăcute, petrecute în viața mea personală. Dar am fost ajutat și de faptul că am câțiva prieteni minunați și părinții mei care m-au ajutat să depășesc aceste momente copleșitoare și dureroase. Metaforic vorbind, aceste momente arată, se simt și au forța unui aisberg, cel puțin pentru mine. În exterior poți vedea doar o splendoare albastră minusculă, superficială, a unei bucăți de gheață. Sub apă este o întreagă construcție formată din durere, comportament toxic și abuziv, traume, dragoste ciudată, răceală, fragilitate, viață agitată, conexiuni instantanee etc.
Imaginea de mai jos este o captură de ecran din cea mai recentă lucrare de text și video, intitulată „A trebuit să închid ochii”, o mărturie, o reamintire pentru mine să înțeleg și să învăț să renunț la durere.

This work is the transposition in video format of the author's written text, dated August 11, 2019. Here, the transhuman character is a monarchy leader from a possible future, transmitting his message, in a power exchange ritual. Every step of his testimony is strictly supervised and approved by a superior entity behind the front camera. Delimiting from other groups of society, the blue stroke on the character's mouth is a mark of the people who have a strategic position in society.

With all the new updates coming in each week from the "meta" social media platforms I feel my human "marketing" abilities are a bit outdated. Perhaps I should duplicate myself. So I don't know if my squirrel art-ivities are reaching out anymore into the feed of each one of you. Now, for example, I am presenting my new adventure into the online 1-on-1 meetings universe. It has been more than a year since I was thinking of doing this and finally I decided to do so.

Alexandru Buescu

Alexandru Buescu was born 1985 in Bucharest, The Socialist Republic of Romania, under the communist regime of Ceaușescu. In 2008 he graduated The Romanian-American University, with a bachelor in economy. In 2011 he enrolled in acting classes at Hyperion University, a private higher education institution. He received his BA in 2014 with the final production of “The Competition”, a play written by the Russian contemporary playwright Aleksandr Galin, receiving the student theatre award for best performance by a featured actor in a play.

Operating as performance artist, actor, writer and director, Buescu’s artistic praxis combines autobiographical elements with techniques of research and documentary mainly staged as live performance art pieces.

His work questions social issues related to: freedom of speech, fake news, internet, individual or collective memory, distribution of the sensible, human alienation due to technology, consumption, rituals, religion, family, adulthood, isolation, fear, love, anger, sadness, waiting, loss of individuality or the duality and problem of the ego. At the same time, it challenges assumptions, perceptions and expectations related to his own art practice and research. To this the live dimension of his performances aims to create inspiring or provocative experiences for the audience, where the vitality of the (rebellious) human body as opposed to fixed, rigid structures (buildings, concrete floors, machines, the earth) is always displayed as a declaration of freedom against oppressive treatments.

By creating unexpected situations or inventing ambiguous “characters”, directly or indirectly related to his own nature, in his performances Buescu investigates the roles of the performer and the audience, the exposure of body, the question of the representation from conventional schemes to real situations. The use of videos, voice or sound recordings, objects made out of paper, toys, photos, poems, official documents, interviews, sand or even animal meat acquire symbolic meaning in his work while the traces left on stage became evidence of the everyday absurd human behavior.
