ARTIST TALK WITH MARINA ALBU

Both by what we produce, create or engage, inside or outside the cultural sphere, and by what we live, we act determined by drive or urge, passed through the filter of analysis or not.
We have reasons for everything. These make us want or make us halt. We try to know what we want.
There are rules in the art world just as there are rules in the public space, and even in private;
we hesitate between following or defying.
What relationship do we have with resources as we create? Why choose the way we do? Does one have to believe in something to carry on? When do we have the power to stand still?
Is obsession in art more legitimate than obsession in life? What do we keep out of our creations? What are the selection criteria?

I invite you to discuss together, but if not possible, I will speak by myself, and if you want, you can listen. I learned to do this both when living with family and when discussing with partners.
