The special guest at MoBU in 2023 is Daniel Spoerri, master of Eat Art and Nouveau réalisme, with a retrospective solo show of 120 works. MoBU is recovering for the Romanian public the nonagenarian artist of Romanian origin; Daniel Spoerri with his international standing is already part of the history of art: Spoerri is present in the collections of MoMA (New York), Tate Modern (London) and Center Pompidou (Paris), and now he is exhibiting at MoBU.
MoBU is encouraging and supporting independent artists from Romania and the Republic of Moldova with a group exhibition entitled Take-Off. Also, MoBU will be presenting virtually augmented works to provide an immersive, original experience that is interesting to both the connoisseurs and the uninitiated in contemporary art.
Do not miss Ethics, Love, and Politics – MoBU Conferences – a series of the conferences, roundtables, workshops and masterclasses, as well as artistic performances and launches taking place daily at the art fair venue.
MoBU is organised by Kulterra Asociation, recommended by Europa FM; it is a cultural project funded by the Romanian Ministry of Culture.
