Monotremu
(artistic duo 2010, Târgu Mureş, România - lives and works in Târgu Mureş, România)
The artistic duo Monotremu is known for its ironic‑critical artistic practice, focused on the apathy and the shortcomings of Romanian society, context and civilization, which, like the zoological category of Monotremes – term which inspired the pseudonym the two use – is placed in an area which is still being clarified, with an uncertain status: somewhere between mammals and birds (concerning Monotremes), somewhere between East and West (concerning Romania), a class apart, primitive according to certain criteria, but more correctly said – unclassifiable and impossible to integrate in pre‑established structures.
