The Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv is honoured to announce the participation of the artist Caius Rotaru at the 5th edition of the international symposium Sculpture Project in the Quarries Park, organized by the Karmiel Municipality between September 27th and October 14th 2012.
The Romanian sculptor was selected to participate in the symposium on the basis of a project proposal and following the exhibition “The Presence of the Memory”, organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv at the Bible Museum in Tel Aviv and Matnas Rosh Pina, in the Autumn of 2011. This exhibition will be itinerated at Yad Labanim Karmiel, during the sculpture Symposium.
Caius Rotaru, born in 1969 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, graduated from the Bucharest University of Arts (Sculpture Department, 1999) and is a member of the Fine Arts Union in Romania (since 2000). His biography includes personal exhibitions in Romania, collective exhibitions, symposia and other similar artistic manifestations in Romania and abroad (amongst which: the International Symposium „Terra” – Kikinda and the International Sculpture Symposium in Arandjelovac, former Yugoslavia; the Francophone Games, Ottawa-Hull, Canada; the Sculpture Symposium in Mont-Dauphin, France).
Quarries Park, a former stone quarry at present functioning as a public park, is now the permanent exhibiting site for 37 artworks, made in the previous edition of the Symposium. The artists will work in the public space, thus giving the city inhabitants the opportunity to observe the artistic creative process, from the rough stone to the final sculpture.
Among the previous participants in the Symposium, we would like to mention Nancy Cohen (USA), Evrim Kilic (Turkey), Nuax (Denmark), Liliya Pobornikova (Bulgaria), as well as the Israeli artists Salo Saul, Ilan Beck, Rafi Peled, Ahmad Canaan.
The sculpture made by Caius Rotaru will bear an inscription with the name of Romania and it will be exhibited permanently in Quarries Park.
