HangOut Fest 2017

2017-08-10 17.01.25-1Vara a continuat cu Festivalul de origine alternativa Hang Out Fest, in Navodari, Mamaia Nord. Organizatorii ne-au invitat sa personalizam zona de plaja unde urma sa aiba loc festivalul si sa “imbracam” putin scena, in acelasi spirit.

Am creat astfel doua structuri colorate pentru umbra, am delimitat plaja vizual colorand o serie de baldachine si am creat mici accente pe scena, vantul puternic nedandu-ne voie sa incarcam prea mult. De asemenea atelierele de creatie si punctele de interes au fost marcate cu signalistica specifica. Multumim de invitatie Asociatiei Eurocult si speram ca festivalul va continua si in anii urmatori, muzicii standu-i foarte bine libera si la mare:)

“Hang Out Fest este primul eveniment de origine alternativă de pe litoral, s-a desfăşurat pe plajă, în Mamaia Nord, în perioada 11 – 13 august 2017, astfel pe scena au fost: Moonlight BreakfastRobin and the BackstabbersThe Mono JacksLes Elephants Bizarres , Sâmbătă, 12 august 2017, ateliere de creaţie ale artiştilor tineri şi nonconformişti ai acestei generaţii – tattoo şi tattoo cu hena, mandale, manga şi character design, iar seara: Vița de VieOmul cu sobolaniMr.jurjakThe Amsterdams; Duminică, 13 august 2017: ROAbyronTRAVKA şi Toulouse Lautrec .”

Festivalul este organizat de Asociaţia Eurocult, cu sprijinul Consiliul Judeţean Constanţa.

Seaside travel // waiting for summer

Another post I forgot to post. Better late than never:)

Summer is almost over, but we started traveling in may and ending it in September, so it’s cool, we still got time to chill. I’ve been going to the Bulgarian seaside; it’s more empty and wild than the Romanian one. Also good for wild camping, with forests, large empty beaches, beautiful country roads, fields that go on forever and an emptiness that soothes the soul.

We usually stay in Krapets and from there you can take your bike and just go for miles and miles. Last time we went from Krapets to Ezeretzs, taking the not so traveled country roads, between pine forests and sunflower fields, stopped on the beach in Ezeretz, than moved on to Shabla, a comunist seaside resort, funny and sunny, lots of contrast there too… Ezeretz is a village, with fruits and small roads, stone houses and beehives. The smell reminded me of the place i grew up in, in the country side, middle of Romania; summer smells the same everywhere. Like hot animal loo, fruits and the thirsty earth.

Then you can go on from Shabla to Tyulenovo, on a nice road…the only thing here is that we met some dogs on the way and was a little difficult to get pass them. After…my bike broke…so we had to do 35 km with a broken bike, in the dark, on a main road, was quite freaky but we made it home in the end. alive. trembling, but alive. Lucky me, Andreea gave me her good trek bike and she struggled with mine, as i was already on a breaking point.

In may we were in Greece, also biking  a lot on our magic island. This we’re planning to do again in a couple of weeks, so…will be continued.

 

Winter time

It’s almost winter in Romania. It’s cold and we’re waiting for the snow to come!

So…meanwhile, we’re making stuff to decorate our homes and our friends homes. Nice Xmas gifts or just for fun!

They are all green//no tree had been injured in the making 🙂

Creative Fest 2016

The lounge area we made for Creative Fest 2016.

The place looks better with people chilling, so I won’t show you the making off process.

I like the contrast between the huge metal structure in the back and the happy place we created. Bucharest is still a city of contrasts.

Agora InCotroceni

AGORA INCOTROCENI a insemnat activarea comunitatii locale printr-un eveniment public, desfasurat intr-o intersectie, pana atunci plina de masini parcate si cam atat.

Impreuna cu UNNU am realizat mobilierul urban care a imbracat pentru o zi intersectia, transformand-o intr-o piata urbana in adevaratul sens al cuvantului.

Ziua a fost plina de activitati si ateliere dedicate copiilor cat si ateliere participative in care s-au luat decizii legate de cartier, totul fiind coordonat de tinerii inimosi din Incotroceni.

InCotroceni  inseamna o mana de oameni care si-au propus  sa faca din Cotroceni un spatiu mai bun de locuit, un cartier mai primitor si mai armonios. Din cate am vazut pe 2 iulie, sunt pe drumul cel bun si eu una sunt fericita ca am putut ajuta!

Bohemian Square//Brasov//2015

Another summer installation. This time in Brasov, Romania, for Bohemian Square Festival.

I called it ” squares in squares”. My idea was to make the place warmer through colors and interaction. So we put together some wood structures to define the new space, filled them with recycled pallets and fluffy pillows, and colored the sky. The Urban Lounge became the place to meet for that weekend! It was a lot of work for us and the people who helped, especially cause the weather was cold and we had one week of continuous rain to finished the work, but, at the end, the sun started to shine and of course, like it always happens, everything turned out just fine!

Many tkanks to Restauratorii & QUIB for all the wood work. Thanks the organizers for inviting us, and to the magic team: Vidi, Raluca, Tibi, Ioana, Moise for the textile work and to Ioana and Laura for giving us a great house& time in Brasov.

Much Love!

Airfield Festival 2015

Location design for Airfield Festival 2015//Sibiu//Romania.

The festival is happening on an airfield and there’s a lot of flying and floating around:)

We tried to keep it simple and relaxed. Mandalas were looking good as seen from above.  Can’t wait for next year’s adventure~!

Electric Castle 2015

It’s been a long time since I wrote something here. Didn’t have time and didn’t feel like writing. It’s winter and I dream of summer and remember all the cool things we’ve done 😀 around the country. The first was Electric Castle Festival, the magic festival near Cluj, on a beautiful castle site. It’s my third time at the castle and I already feel like home there. About last year’s experience you can read here.

It’s like a dream being there for more than one week and working on the chill areas. Colours, hammocks, shadow, lights…music. If you’re not into music you can still spend some time there, going to  Restoration workshops happening all summer//powered by Transylvania Trust.

magic team: ioana, andrei, cristi, marcel, andrei i, gabi, carla, andrei g, oti & a big, big help from the logistics team of the festival. Thanks beautiful people!

I’m just gonna leave here the pictures people from all over the world took @ the festival.

 

Luminish Waha la Street Delivery

This weekend you can relax in a urban oasis on the streets of Bucharest, in a place we ‘shadow~designed’ for Waha Festival @Street Delivery.  Check out our latest waha experience!

Enjoy the shadow!

Shadow @ Coresi Mall Brasov

This spring  Brasov called us again, for a nice project @ the newest mall in the city, Coresi Mall. The architect, Iulian Calen designed a green area with a bicycle parking place and a skate park, and a wood structure, that we had to colour and construct our shadow on.

When we started there were no people coming to sit on the grass, but, as we built our shadow and layers, people started coming and relaxing there, looking at the mountains and having lunch.

We are not fans of shopping resorts, in general,  but we do like this spot in the city, a free green spot with a twist. And it’s nice to see that a Mall tries to give something back to the city.

And we’ll be back in august for Bohemian Square, the urban culture festival taking place in the center of the city!

Thanks to our brave helpers from Alpine Zone and collaborators from Alpinisha!

The magic team:

Ioana Trantea: witch

Cristo: shaman

Razvan, Ionut :  elves
