Safety First! The Aftermath was a solo exhibition by Roxana Donaldson at Galeria Calea Victoriei 91-93 in Bucharest. At the opening, on 19 November 2025, I moderated an artist and curator talk with Roxana Donaldson and the curator Silvia Stoica.

About Safety First! The Aftermath

The exhibition ran from 19 to 30 November 2025. It was the second iteration of Roxana Donaldson’s modular installation, a conceptual exploration of anxiety. It was organised by 24/7ART, curated by Silvia Stoica and supported by the Ana Foundation for Culture and Art.

The talk brought together three points of view on the same work, the artist’s, the curator’s and mine, as a critic. It took place among the works, in front of the audience of the opening.

I also wrote about the exhibition in Roxana Donaldson, Pathology as an Affective Cartography and interviewed the artist for Docuart. Later, we met again at Brâncuși Nocturn, in the debate Curator vs. artist.

Fig. 5910 October 2026Costin Brăteanu – StratigraphiesI came into contact with the artwork of Costin Brăteanu recently, and while analysing his portfolio, I got the impression of looking at an artistically represented geography. Going further through the artist’s strata, I remembered the concept of palimpsest, which could better describe what I was trying to understand. palimpsest is a manuscript page, parchment, […]Grid of dark cells with pink and white forms, work by Roxana Donaldson4 October 2026Roxana Donaldson – Fertile Knots in „A Feminine Archive of Fear”Roxana Donaldson's exhibition explores fear's feminine legacy through evolving installations, intertwining personal narratives with broader social dynamics.
