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
