Ioana Nemeș (1979–2011) is recognised as one of the most remarkable figures of the new generation of Romanian contemporary artists. This publication offers an overview of the long-term projects and singular exhibitions that Nemeș produced during her brief but extraordinary career. Fascinated with time, language and non-linear narrativity, Ioana Nemeș’s practice was predicated on an ongoing and unconstrained process of self-evaluation. On the slippery edge between art and life, the Monthly Evaluations project, realized in different formats and mediums, marks the artist’s willingness to expose her subjective experiences, dialogues and confrontations with her own context and condition. Ioana Nemeș’s artistic environment, with all its strength and fragility, contrasts with a precise, almost surgical survey of the moods, desires, and situations that she experienced from day to day, becoming the basis for her enigmatic scenarios, which take the form of written statements.
