The Magic of Restoration is a project first organized in 2015. Its main goal is to bring to the fore the backstage scenes of works of art: the devastating effects of the time and those of us who put everything in the fight against ephemerality.
Inside the Brukenthal National Museum, it became a project with an amazing degree of satisfaction and novelty, leading to the personal and emotional involvement of the entire team. Restorers and curators conquered an exhibition hall for the first time; they stood together in front of the public. This is how we all learned that heritage is about us, about people and our passion to give and dedicate ourselves to culture.
In this magical ambiance, I had the pleasure to discover behind robes and laboratory gloves, artists with visionary perceptions about art and beauty, people who did not limit themselves to preserving art goods but crossed the boundaries in order to create. For these reasons we offer you today Restorer and Artist, an online project that deals with the ambivalence of our amazing colleagues: Cristina Maria Fău, Celestina Albișor, Ioan Muntean, Ilie Mitrea, Andrei Popa.
