During the 2022 ”Threads Residency”, the artists: Alexandru Mihai Budeș, Nadine Weber, Roxana Morar, Guillaume Bihan, Vitaliy Yankovii, Miruna Radovici recorded a jam session using the Artists play with time installation.

Alexandru Mihai Budeș is primarily a storyteller. Touching biographical elements, he weaves together: fact, history, mythology, observations and parallels drawn between the cultures encountered, elements of literature and conversations, human feelings, and states of mind - which interrogate different aspects of common and personal reality, consciousness, and subconsciousness. His diverse background forms the blueprint of his artistic practice that connects, translates and operates across the borders of different media, artistic genres and disciplines. The work takes the shape of sculptures, performances, films, drawings, installations to machines and AI programs, which he creates by drawing on sources ranging from local legends to global knowledge and personal anthropology.

Miruna Radovici is a visual artist who investigates the development of a universe as the works stage the core of social evolution: interactions, language, touch, the organic appearance and disappearance of emotion. She visually transposes them through a multitude of environments (painting, textiles, photography and others) that are meant to illustrate circumstances of intimacy, existential problems, all under the aegis of the private atmosphere of the subjects.
