Urban cultures: a celebration at RCINY

Join us for a party with Romanian comics and electronic music organized on the occasion of the first Romanian participation to the MoCCA Art Festival, featuring:
Hardcomics and Aooleu: Romanian Cartoons, Comic Art, Animation and much more Join visual artists Milos Jovanovic and Matei Branea, before their first participation to the MoCCA Art Festival, on a journey through the Romanian comics landscape. Initiators of the first Romanian comics publication and publishing house in 2002, when comics practically didn't exit in Romania, they have helped and witnessed the boost of an art form.
*Due to unforeseen circumstances, Milos Jovanovic won't be able to participate to the event as initially announced.

Live performance: Romanian electronic music with Rezistenţa Materialelor The celebration of new urban cultures in Romania continues with a live performance by a band that aims at always taking their fans and public by surprise; their live performances combine the electronic music with other classical music instruments (violin, trumpet, horn, trombone, etc) as well as visual art or plastic mannequins. In December 2007, two Romanian students, Lucian Racoviţan (Architecture) and Costin Basica (Music Composition), decided to start an electronic music group bearing the name of an Architecture course program: Rezistenţa Materialelor (The Endurance of Materials). Since then, their music, experimenting and recycling musical themes and ironic events and characters from the social and cultural surroundings, was present in all major clubs and electronic music festivals in Romania.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in NYC.
