Dragi prieteni,
Club Electroputere Bucuresti anunta deschiderea expozitiei Agentia de Turism ReTURo, un proiect artistic si curatorial de Aurelia Mihai.

Prin modificarea spatiului expozitional relationat la o agentie de turism, se pun in scena o serie de exponate artistice care amintesc de marketingul turistic. Aurelia Mihai si inviatii ei in aceasta expozitie: Gudrun Boisseau, Coate Goale, Vlad Nanca, Dörte Eißfeld si Theo Janßen expun fotografii, texte, jurnale de calatorii, inregistrari de vacanta din Romania anilor 70, standuri de carti postale, lucrari video tematice si intamplari de calatorie transmise prin viu grai care extind si imbogatesc oferta turistica.
Agentia de Turism ReTURo este de asemeni un spatiu interactiv, in care personalul din sala de expozitie are un rol performativ. Asadar, ReTURo nu vinde, ci propune forme de calatorie personale si inedite. Turul e virtual, subiectiv si istoric in acelasi timp si tine de curajul fiecarui vizitator sa calatoreasca si sa relationeze.
Agentia de Turism ReTURo este parte a proiectului Turul Romaniei in 7 Zile initiat si produs de Club Electroputere in 2012.

Aurelia Mihai s-a nascut in București. Ea este artist, realizator de film și profesor la Universitatea de Arta din Braunschweig, Germania.
Lucrarile video ale Aureliei Mihai au primit numeroase premii si burse, printre care: bursa E STAR, Alfred din New York, bursa Villa Aurora din Los Angeles (2001), bursa EMARE Hull Time Based Arts, Marea Britanie (2004), bursa Academiei Germane Villa Massimo la Roma (2007) si bursa IASPIS, in Stockholm (2010). În 2002 a obtinut premiul Spiridon-Never-DuMont, iar în 2005 premiul Euregio, din Germania si Olanda.
A expus in diferite muzee, printe care: Kunsthalle Mainz, Martin Gropius Bau din Berlin, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Muzeul de Artă Chelsea din New York, Muzeul de Arta Cheekwood din Nashville, Centrul Georges Pompidou din Paris, Muzeul Cobra din Amstelveen, MNAC etc.
