Live Performance
with Ortaku
With roots in street art, graffiti, and stencil, Ortaku has spent over two decades shaping a distinctive voice in contemporary urban art. Emerging from the vibrant graffiti scene of Bucharest, his early works were marked by figurative stencil pieces, paste-ups, and bold mural interventions that questioned urban memory. Over the years, he has consistently expanded his practice, experimenting with new materials, unconventional supports, and methods that blur the line between public art and personal research.
Recently, his focus has shifted toward abstraction and psychedelia, often developed through years of sketchbook explorations and a deeply intuitive process that allows lines and colors to grow freely. This practice embodies both raw spontaneity and an almost meditative state, a visual diary where emotion takes shape through rhythm, gesture, and layers.
For Collage Festival, Ortaku presents a live painting performance that integrates collage into this evolving language. The work will unfold in real time as fragments, textures, and painted layers intersect, creating a dynamic and unpredictable visual composition. His contribution is not just an artwork but a process, an experiment in how chaos and order, control and release, coexist on the same surface.
Live collage performance
with Marin Grigore
A performance in which sounds meet halfway between what is made and what does not yet exist, to reveal how music acts and can transform the present moment. Through the living nature of the electric guitar, through the intervention of the person who actively participates in creating music in the moment, Marin walks the line between static and active, pushing the meaning of electronic music to its limits.
The performance will take place at the Green Hours terrace, starting 7 p.m.
