Arata ca esti roman!

Arata ca esti roman! Demonstreaza lumii intregi ca si romanii sunt “cineva” in Londra! Vino impreuna cu familia si cu prietenii tai si ia parte la un eveniment unic care va arata lumii cine suntem.

Duminica 2 septembrie 2007, la ora 15.00, artistul roman Matei Bejenaru din Iasi ne cheama pe malul Tamisei, in fata muzeului Tate Modern (vis-a-vis de Catedrala St Paul) sa fim impreuna, sa ne gandim pentru un minut la Romania si la toti cei dragi pe care i-am lasat acasa si am vrea sa fie cu noi.


Dupa aceea vom face o vizita cu ghid la Tate Modern si apoi vom merge impreuna sa bem o bere sau un pahar de vin.

Acest eveniment artistic, parte din proiectul „Impreuna / Together”, va fi documentat prin fotografie si realizarea unui mini documentar care vor fi prezentate marelui public din Londra, dar si din lumea intreaga, in muzeul Tate Modern pe 8 si 9 septembrie 2007. Matei Bejenaru va participa si in expozitia "The Irresistible Force" ce se va deschide pe 20 septembrie la Tate Modern, unde va expune proiectul Travel Guide.


Pentru efortul de a lua parte la acest proiect si de a veni duminica 2 septembrie, la ora 15.00, iti oferim un cupon (voucher) in schimbul caruia vei primi GRATIS o bere sau un pahar cu vin, pe vaporul HMS President, pe malul de nord al Tamisei, langa podul Blackfriars. Acolo se va organiza, special pentru participanti, o petrecere romaneasca incepand cu ora 18.00. Intrarea este GRATUITA si se face pe baza cuponului (voucher) primit la Tate Modern.

De asemenea, Matei Bejenaru iti va trimite personal (daca lasi un e-mail valid) o fotografie de grup realizata cu aceasta ocazie.

Show your inner Romanian!

Show your inner Romanian! Come and show the whole wide world that Romanians are also “somebody” in London! Come, bring your family and friends and take part in a unique artistic event that will show the world who we are.

Sunday 2 September 2007, at 15.00, Romanian artist Matei Bejenaru, from Iasi, invites us all to the Thames riverside in front of the Tate Modern (across the river from St Paul’s Cathedral). We can be all together as a community and, for a minute, think of Romania and all our friends and loved ones from home, people whom we wish were here.

After the event, there will be guided visit to the Tate Modern, and then we will all go to have a beer or a glass of wine.

This art event, part of the “Impreuna / Together” project, will be documented through photographs and by the editing of a short documentary film. These will be presented to the London audience, as well as to the wide world, within Tate Modern, on 8 and 9 September 2007. Matei Bejenaru will participate in the exhibition "The Irresistible Force", which will open at Tate Modern on 20 September 2007. He will exhibit the project Travel Guide.

For being part of this programme, and for your effort to come on Sunday 2 September, at 15.00, you will receive a voucher for a FREE beer or glass of wine, on board HMS President, on the northern bank of the Thames, beside Blackfriars Bridge. There will be a Romanian party on the ship, organised especially for you, starting at 18.00. The entrance is FREE and access is granted on the basis of the voucher received at the Tate Modern event.

Matei Bejenaru will personally send you (if you leave a valid e-mail address) a group photo taken on the occasion of the event. Added to this is the chance to be seen by everybody in the greatest museum of contemporary art. This is an event that will generate positive publicity for our community. Come and be with us. It is a unique occasion!
