  transformations: “If social art ends up being consumed and puț on a pedestal by the art system, it’s not enough. I’m not naïve, I don’ț believe art can change the world. But if it manages to știr some discussions on certain delicate issues, then it’s an important step forward.” For Matei Bejenaru, making art with workers represents a form of social involvement from the part of the artist, who then becomes a participant observer, a subject of„Am făcut gem în Barcelona din căpşunile culese de căpşunarii noştri” () [Corola-website/Science/295668_a_296997]

Let’s say I have a team, others bring their teams and we get around five teams which agree not to go work and set some clear fees. That leaves ten other teams which will go work.

  The main emoțional dramă of life, aside from the perpetual conflict between deșire and reality hostile to deșire, seems to be the sensation of the passage of time. În contrast to the aesthetic modes that strive to fix and eternalize some emotion, the situaționist attitude consists în going with the flow of time. În șo doing, în pushing ever further the game of creating new, emotionally provocative situations, the situationists are gambling that change will usually be for the better.

Whenever there were explosions and accidents, he would go down to recover the bodies of his workmates. He talks about some gruesome events. But he also talks about the lack of solidarity between miners, which is something I heard my grandfather talk about.
