PARTNERS: Department for Interethnic Relations - Government of Romania City Hall - Local Council Aiud, Romania “Liviu Rebreanu” Cultural Center Aiud, Romania

The project is dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations

This event represents an absolute world premiere since for the ďŹ rst time in history artists from all the 193 Member States of the United Nations are gathered in one unique and dedicated exhibition.

Each State is represented by a single artist chosen with great care. For the initiating country – Romania - 24 artists were selected from a multi-ethnic spectrum.

Each work was specially created for this unique moment, with identical dimensions and format. Our intention is to make a giant puzzle, a symbol of friendship between all the nations of the world.

This event initiated by the "Inter-Art" Foundation Aiud wishes to bring a tribute to celebrate this extraordinary event and to prove that, through art, we can create a better world - one of freedom and coexistence, of cooperation and understanding, and of unity between people, nations and cultures.

It is our gift, Romania's gift for the UN celebration, a symbolic gesture through which we want to mark this moment with a very special and unprecedented event.

Three quarters of a century after the creation of the United Nations, Romania marks a world premiere by organizing the world exhibition "The United Nations - symbol of life, freedom and happiness.�

It is thus for the ďŹ rst time in the 75 years of the UN's existence that artists from all Member States gather their contributions in an outstanding global project, as an expression of the capacity of the human spirit to generate solidarity and harmony.

I would like to congratulate the "Inter-Art" Foundation for the accomplishment of this project, whose composing works create an original expression of modern art.

Art has always been the universal language that brought people together, beyond space and time. By relentlessly fostering the links between

generations and at the same time contributing to the encounter between the various cultures, art has managed to create, over the centuries, a bridge of dialogue among civilizations.

The exhibition inaugurated today is a symbolic fresco of our times, created in a context in which we need - more than ever - solidarity and understanding.

This event represents Romania's special contribution to the anniversary of the UN, this year marking also the 65th celebration of our country's accession to the Organization. Not by chance, the key factor that made this exhibition possible is the same as the one that motivated the UN action since its creation in 1945 and that guarantees the Organization's success in demonstrating the â€?art of unityâ€? between nations on ahead: international cooperation, for the beneďŹ t of our citizens.

I hope this unique project will be exhibited at the UN headquarters in New York too, when the conditions will be right, as a gesture accompanying Romania's constant initiatives for peace and solidarity among peoples.

H.E. Klaus Werner Iohannis President of Romania

A beautiful dream becomes reality with this project, unique in its own way.

An achievement that fully deďŹ nes the concept of the Inter-Art Foundation to unite all the nations of the world through art. We have always believed in this motto and in these 25 years since we have existed we have done our best to prove that the art and culture of a nation is the best ambassador.

This exhibition is ďŹ rst and foremost an absolute world premiere by involving all 193 UN member states. And what could be a better occasion than the 75th anniversary of this prestigious world organization.

The year 2020 is a crossroads for our society and for human relations.

Through this exhibition, through the message of each involved artist, we bring a planetary homage to the UN as a sign of respect for everything it represents and for everything it has accomplished in its 75 years of existence.

What we offer is unique and artistically, representing a fascinating variety of techniques and styles, based on the proposed theme. The cultural aspect of each people is the proof of its identity. Our anniversary gift is the respect of the 193 nations that express themselves through their artists for the hope of a better future in the construction of which the UN has a decisive role.

It was an extremely long work, a difficult dialogue with hundreds of artists and a rigorous selection in which the main element was VALUE. The result shows very clear that nothing was in vain. This exhibition is a historic moment not just a world premiere. It is an anniversary gift but also an intercontinental event that offers an equal chance to the countries around the world to assert themselves through their art.

From my point of view, art is not a competition; it is the way of expression through which we can identify spiritually. It can be good or bad, bright or mediocre. What we offer you is above all a sincere art, unaltered by cheap aspects of marketing or commercial spirit. It is the global expression of deep feelings through which we want a better world under the auspices of the UN.

The “Inter-Art” Foundation Aiud

The “Inter-Art” Foundation was set up in 1996 and proposes an alternative approach to contemporary art, as a link between civilizations and cultures, opening a worldwide arena for contemporary artists thanks to his active founding members Ștefan Balog, Ioan Hădărig, Robert Lixandru and those who have joined them over the time in coordinating projects: Zoltán Balog, Elena Cristea and Andrei Bakó. The basic principles and purposes are: representing contemporary art, discovering an area of cultural interference between artists from Romania and around the world and the organization of an international art camp in Aiud which aims to bring a new perspective to the contemporary art scene each year.
