SYMMETRIES is a group exhibition in which artists from several geographical and cultural regions come together under the palladium of expressiveness and desire to present and promote artistic creations and the ideas behind them. SYMMETRIES is an organic continuation of the ORIENT exhibition in 2023, where 67 artists from 28 countries exhibited their works, a large part of them coming from the countries of the Far East. The works represented an incursion into the cultural and artistic spirit of the East, a geographical space deeply marked by a spirituality and a philosophy of life different from that of the European space. Thus, the exhibition in 2023 and the one in 2024 become elements of a cultural synergy, where artistic creation becomes the messenger of ideas, and the halls of the Cluj-Napoca Art Museum a place of physical convergence.

Curators of the exhibition: Ovidiu Petca, Qi Luo and Attila Iakob.

Partners: Cluj International Graphics Biennale Cultural Foundation, Art Museum of Cluj-Napoca, Cang Art Museum, Tagus International Art Center, AAmA Art Museum, AAmA International Association.
