Dialogue between form and content |  Doru Ivan at the National Museum of Romanian Literature

Dialogue between form and content | Doru Ivan at the National Museum of Romanian Literature

17/10/2026 - 07/11/2026
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
National Museum of Romanian Literature Bucharest
Calea Griviței 64-66, Bucharest, Bucharest

Dialogue between form and content presents a compelling series of oil paintings that delve into the complexities of human identity, emotion, and perception. Through expressive forms and layered abstraction, Doru transforms the canvas into a space of reflection and introspection, where the boundaries between the physical and the metaphysical begin to blur.
Doru’s work captures the tension between the visible and the unseen — fleeting sensations, fragmented memories, and the silent emotions that define our shared humanity.

I was delighted to encounter so many young people, and people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, who

UK
19 New King Street , Bath, Somerset, BA1 2BL, Somerset

Throughout the museum’s historic house, ‘The as-yet unseen’ presents site-responsive installations by Grace Weir, curated by Bridget de León. Created in response to the Herschel family’s home, the exhibition considers observation as a form of continuous and highly attuned looking, grounded in the rhythms of domestic life. Taking its title from William Herschel’s phrase for the as-yet-undiscovered planet Neptune, the project brings together new works that share a commitment to patient, repeated attention to what can be seen, what remains just beyond view, and what may only become visible through sustained, collective looking.

Exhibition runs 24/20/26-21/11/26.

Artist Michelle Boyle returns to Pune, the city of her birth father in a group exhibition WHERE THE BODY BEGINS.
The exhibition considers the body not as image or physical form alone, but as a lived and continually changing space, one that carries memory, sensation, desire, vulnerability, inheritance, and transformation. The exhibition asks where the body begins and ends, and how it is shaped by what moves through it: time, touch, environment, experience, labour, material, and social structures.
