We're not looking for similarities, but embrace the coincidences.
The Great Romania – China Friendship Cafeteria continues with an exuberant event in Bucharest, and completely takes over Sandwich, the terrace, Chocolat extension and even the adjacent studios.
Garage Sale is not only the first group show ever to be attempted at Sandwich, but also an opportunity to give up on things not anymore wanted, needed or relevant.
Artists from China and Romania, with practices so different they could bare any connection to each other, are putting together a megamix of artworks, but also of curated personal items for sale at clearance prices*. It is irrelevant if the exhibition becomes an extension of the sale, or the other way around – objects and non-objects shake hands and make peace.
The Great Romania – China Friendship Cafeteria started in Beijing in 2018 and is headed for a bright future governed by solidarity. More than an annual inter-continental exchange of exhibitions, the long-term project is nourished with care for each other's vulnerability.
*Yes, the event includes an actual garage sale as well, open for just one day, with special guests and display tables out in the sun. An open-air kitchen for food and drinks – not necessarily representative of RO or CN – will seal the deal.
Special Thank You to the National Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest for lending the artwork Earthcake, 1992 by Geta Brătescu from its Collection.
