LARISA DAVID (1988)

Herbarium Collection - Artists - Larisa David

Larisa David (Târgu Mureșq, 1988) is based between Rotterdam and Bucharest. She makes performances, installations, videos and scripts that use found sources and her own writing. The works address how power relations are produced and extend in society, affecting subjective narratives. This is an ongoing exploration where hidden or illegible moments from past and present are followed to reflect on ways of feeling and seeing that allow straying from the familiar.
She showed works at Available and the Rat (NL), At7 (NL), Stedelijk Museum (NL), De Appel (NL), Paragraph Gallery (USA), National Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest (RO), Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Rijeka (HR), Salonul de Proiecte (RO), tranzit.ro/ Cluj (RO). She has an MFA from Piet Zwart Institute.

The Herbarium project explores the work environment in contemporary culture in which ideas are created and exchanged. The focus of Herbarium is to compile a collection of sealed creative energy in boxes (40х40х10, 40x20x10 or 20х40х10) of different generations of artists around the world. The contents of each box are accompanied by a description and a sound file with the artist's voice. The artists, invited by the curator of "Herbarium" could choose two new participants - so the project traces the exchange of creative energy in the artworld. The development of the collection has no time limits, it grows exponentially with each new participant until the final exhibition is announced. The H Talks series (video portraits of the artists) are shot during the preparation of each presentation of the Herbarium collection in the artists work environment and studios. All the information, gathered in the process of developing the collection, will be available to all researchers, curators, gallery owners, students or art lovers who are interested in the less visible mechanisms through which contemporary culture functions.
