La vernisajul expoziţiei-instalaţie a lui Dragoş Buhagiar, „Transmutaţii”, organizată laMuzeul Naţional de Artă al României, a venit lume multă pentru a vedea cum creatorul le-a dat viaţă unor obiecte, unor bucăţi de decor din spectacole, punându-le împreună. Acestea descriu, după cum ne spunea autorul, parcursul său de artist, încercările sale din ultimii zece ani: „Sunt ani diferiţi, perioade diferite, cumva zone estetice diferite, încercări diferite. Ele se pot coagula într-un traseu al gândurilor, al vieţii”. Expoziţia e deschisă până la 30 octombrie.

The launch of Dragoş Buhagiar’s exhibition, „Transmutations”, hosted by the National Museum of Art of Romania, attracted numerous guests, curious to see objects, fragments of sets brought to life, brought together by the artist. These objects mirror the author’s pathway, his trials along the way during the past 10 years: „They’re different, those years, different phases, different aesthetic areas, different attempts. All these can build up into a journey of thoughts, of life.” The exhibition will remain open until December 30th.
„This exhibition is an event of the National Theatre Festival and, I think, an event in the world of scenography, of installation. It has been our dream to include the National Museum of Art of Romania, the royal palace, into the festival circuit. Dragoş Buhagiar and I, we belong to the same generation. Together, we navigated through the better and the worse of our professional evolutions, we somehow asserted ourselves at the same time, together…I admired the force he had in exposing his inner world, I admired his unsparing, his attachment, his way of accompanying directors, I admired his readiness to start over and over again. I think what we have here, today, is a miracle. It’s a fabulous world. It’s a world that represents the artist Dragoş Buhagiar in an acute and profound way, a world recomposed, redefined by objects from his performances from all over Romania, redrafted, recomposed into a different world, where they live together in harmony. This strongly visual world is accompanied by a world of sound specially conceived for “Transmutations” by another friend of theatre, musician Vlaicu Golcea. I think there couldn’t have been any nobler place to host a refined, provocative exhibition, open to the imaginary and imagination”.
