“The second edition of MoBU highlights artists and works from seven countries. This year, we have invited art faculties from Bucharest, Cluj, Iași, and Timișoara in Romania to showcase themselves and the future of contemporary art, resulting in this year’s event’s hybrid nature. Although different from 2023, we still hope we have found the right formula to connect the Romanian public with the art market. Since contemporary art invites conceptualization and reflection, I invite you to MoBU to discover art in another dimension.” says Demetra Arapu, Director of MoBU.

“MoBU is, as we already know, the place where collectors, experts, and of course, the general public encounter the most diverse expressions of contemporary art, from traditional approaches, to visual experiments and artistic research. Remarkably, MoBU has the openness and flexibility to include in its program artist-run spaces, art faculties, a series of round tables and artist talks, as well as video screenings and performative activities. All these make MOBU an unmissable event! See you there!” states Horea Avram, art critic, curator.
