Craiova Art Museum was founded in 1954 and is hosted by The Mihail Palace. The building itself stood out in the city landscape of Craiova as the most astonishing private property in the beginning of the XXth century. It represented one of the highest standards of civilian architecture in the period. In the context of a rapid urban development, many of the wealthy families in town looked to errect impressive homes, asking advice and expertise from the famous architects of the moment. Thus, Constantin Mihail, one of the richest persons in the country, hired Paul Gottereau, the architect of the Royal Court, to draw the plans of his palace. Mirroring the leading trend in the epoch, an eclectic style, combining features of The French Academic Classicism and late-baroque elements, the building is very similar to one of the palaces on the Loire Valley.

The act of homage—of creation, in conversation with the work of another artist—reminds us that art is a living thing. Even Pleistocene cave art and the megaliths of Stonehenge still inspire; it is only natural that some of the world’s most innovative digital artists have joined together to celebrate the work of Constantin Brancusi with their own original creations.
Organised by Art Bees in partnership with Accelerate Art and hosted by the Constantin Brancusi Center of the Craiova Museum, HOMAGE will feature works from forty-eight digital artists, taking inspiration from Brancusi’s work and life.
The curators for this exhibition were NONE32X32 and Claire Silver with NONE32X32 curating the 18 featured artists and Claire Silver, the 30 artists who responded to an Accelerate Art open call thread on Twitter.
