KAMERA CAHIER N° 3
Ion Grigorescu
A special edition issue curated, designed and published by AVARIE, Paris and Labor Neunzehn, Berlin. It accompanies KAMERA SERIES, while it is an independent and valuable object to collect.
The central idea that informs and directs the booklets’ montage is the interplay between the concepts of addition and subtraction. This is achieved by unveiling a missing image in the screening or an unreleased second from an artist's film, expanded to 24 pages. Additionally, each booklet contains a piece directly removed from the show.
The editing establishes a dialogue between film frames and performed writings derived from texts, scripts, storyboards, and notes. The KAMERA exhibition is consequently extended into a physical space—the book—allowing for its widespread dissemination, complementing and contrasting with its potential online occurrence.
KAMERA SERIES is a screening program of experimental films, video art works and printed matter taking place in a former GDR building in Berlin.
Each event showcases a retrospective of selected films by an artist and a small exhibition of his/her publications or works on paper over a span of 4 days.
KAMERA centers on fostering a critical dialogue between different film formats and artists’ books. Through its regular occurrence, it aspires to create a space for community exchanges about contemporary image-making.

Central figure of conceptual and performative art in Eastern Europe since the early 70s, ION GRIGORESCU has been working on issues of sexuality, body and politics from both a communist and capitalist point of view, based on historical changes. He is the author of photographic series, drawings, paintings and collages, as well as performances recorded on film, which concentrate on ritualized actions around his body and go beyond art, leading into a private and personal life.
On display at Documenta XII in Kassel (2007) and at the Venice Biennale (1997, 2011), he has taken part in a number of international shows and his works are part of the most important public collections, such as MoMA New York; Mumok and Erste Foundation, Vienna; Tate Modern and Deutsche Bank AG, London; Vehbi Koc Foundation, Istanbul; Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Turin; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherlands. He is represented by Gregor Podnar gallery, Berlin, Ivan Gallery, Bucharest and Angels, Barcelona.
