The title of the show references \u201c \u0218tefan C\u00e2l\u021bia\u2019s intense connection to Transylvania and the poetic universe of his work, where characters, animals, and landscapes become witnesses of a strong connection between man and nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like every person who comes to the exhibition to leave with their thoughts rearranged, with the feeling that something has unsettled them and made them feel intensely alive. You go, you look, and you sense that your thoughts, your joys, your tensions and dramas are alive, and that, in a way, you would want to put them in order. Then, because it will be quite a large exhibition, I would also hope it sparks an appetite for work on one\u2019s life and profession. To leave feeling that you must do something,\u201d the artist said.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition can be visited between June 19 and August 16 inside the former pedagogical school of the Ursuline Convent in Sibiu.<\/p>\n<p>The Ursuline Complex, made up of the convent and the Ursuline Order\u2019s former school, was erected in 1474 and turned into an educational and spiritual center in the 18th century. Today, its indoor venues are used for various cultural events.<\/p>\n<p>For the exhibition, the Ambulance for Monuments will safeguard a significant part of the edifice and install an anniversary exhibition in the attic of the central building, highlighting ten years of the project. The Ambulance for Monuments was launched in 2016 to rescue heritage-listed buildings in Romania through a large network of active heritage organizations. The proceeds from the ticket sales will support the activity of the Ambulance for Monuments<\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo:\u00a0Diana Iabras\u0326u, courtesy of the organizers)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>simona@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transilvania | Extravaganza, an exhibition of works by Romanian painter \u0218tefan C\u00e2l\u021bia (pictured) set to open as part of this year\u2019s International Theater Festival in Sibiu (FITS), will gather approximately 80 works representative of various stages in the artist\u2019s practice, the organizers have said.
