ANA LUPAS
b. 1940, RomaniaAna Lupas was born in 1940 in Cluj, Transylvania, Romania, where she lives and works. She began since the 1960s to work with textiles, and to develop her artistic language through happenings and installations. She graduated from the “Ion Andreescu” Academy of Fine Arts in Cluj-Napoca in 1962 and her conceptual approach has strongly influenced a whole generation of Romanian artists. She founded and directed (1980-90) the nationwide collective for young artists “Atelier 35”. With a clearly avantgarde approach, she developed a multiplicity of performative and conceptual practices, some ephemeral, like direct actions taking place, mainly, within natural environments.
