Anca Munteanu Rimnic ꟾ Treatise on Bruises

Her practice centers on the relationships between body, object, and meaning — between self-attribution and external designation, between the visible and the felt. Munteanu Rimnic engages with transitional zones in which objects become sites of projection, opening up specific modes of interpretation.  

“Anca Munteanu Rimnic’s new exhibition is a treatise on bruises, an expanded investigation of skins as conceptual and metaphorical places for her works, skins as they are impacted and transformed by internal or external forces. Skin’s task to delimit separate bodies is made diffuse or blurry, allegorically turned against itself and into a study of confluence. Battered or caressed, resonated or muffled under layers of padding, exposed to inimical circumstances or treated like a precious relic, it mediates the pairing of the corporeal and the abstract in the artist’s project, unifying things and selves and creating a space where they can be imprinted onto one another, engaged in an exchange of attributes.” – Mihnea Mircan            


Anca Munteanu Rimnic (b. 1974 in Bucharest, Romania) lives and works in Berlin. She graduated from the University of Fine Arts, Berlin, in 2001, and continued her studies at the ArtCenter Pasadena and at the California Institute of the Arts, California, USA, until 2004.
