”Light clarity avocado salad in the morning” is an exhibition that includes 20 emerging artists – being younger than Jesus – from all four major universities in Romania, carefully selected by Horatiu Lipot, a young curator himself. The exhibited works are using a variety of mediums and situations: ”Today, art seems to offer an imaginary and much-needed anchor – a practice of the proliferation and manifestation of the human touch, observed either by accentuating the action or by contrast, in the lack of gesture.” (Horațiu Lipot)
