PAVILION – center for contemporary art and culture is surrounded by buildings which are emblematic to the type of architecture specific to Bucharest during the interwar period and it is also within close distance from the academic centre of the city. The building in which the centre currently runs its activity is included in the list of historical monuments, being built at the end of the 19th century. It is a space of the critical thinking, and it promotes an artistic perspective implying the social and political involvement of the art and of the cultural institutions.

The exhibition will explore the double meaning of the word apprehension, the fear or anxiety that something bad might happen and in the sense of comprehension. The relation between the two needs a closer look. How fear is developed and maintained throughout our lives and how it can become a tool for learning and understanding. How it is administered and maintained socially, politically, how it affects the development of our ideology and how we can learn from it. The time is now to reassess and to raise some questions about certain aspects of everyday life that might have gone unnoticed. (Extras from the curatorial text by Gergő Horváth)
