Description: "Alexandra Croitoru's research reflect an impressive investigation specific to cultural studies, in which the central element is the social construction of the Brancusi "myth", as well as the processes by which this myth is reproduced and conserved in Romanian popular culture. The myth is here interpreted as a naturalised ideological construct, which ultimately comes to be identified with a national superstructure of identity. Within the framework of this research, the artist traces the genealogy of a number of cultural mechanisms that contributed to the mediatisation of Constantin Brancusi's name and work both inside and outside the art world. The element shared by all these discourses is without a doubt fiction-that narrative construct fundamental to defining a nation as an imagined and imaginary community"--Introductions
