residencies: July–August 2011, September–November 2012

Bureau for Melodramatic Research (Romania)

Bureau for Melodramatic Research

is a collective founded by Romanian artists Irina Gheorge and Alina Popa. In their work, the artists trace the fictional narratives which drive the affects creating today's valorisation mechanisms. Their intensively theorised work “lays bare the sentimental capital determining social, political and economic relationships”, blurring the borders between theory and art. thebureauofmelodramaticresearch.blogspot.com

The residency has been supported by the City of Warsaw.
