about

EN    Imminent Detour / Andreea Samoilă (1996,RO) is a visual artist, and an independent editor of printed matter. She is interested in objects, words and tools after they depart from the "manual" version of themselves. The predictable and unpredictable nature of how people use things inspire her to question what is “mundane”, and set up surprise with already known things. She makes objects, books and actions focussing on witty uses of objects, unexpected associations and word-play. Andreea works under the name Imminent Detour because she is in no ruch to get to the point.  She has a BA in Architecture and an MA in Situated Design.

RO
    Imminent Detour / Andreea Samoilă (1996, RO) este o artistă vizuală, și editor de cărți si reviste. Ea este interesată de obiecte, cuvinte și unelte ce nu sunt folosite “ca la carte”. Felul previzibil și imprevizibil în care oamenii folosesc obiecte o inspiră să mai observe ceva surprinzător la lucruri și idei deja arhi-cunoscute. Ea realizează cărți, obiecte și acțiuni care se joacă cu idea de “banal”, prezentând lucrurile și ideile ca fiind schimbătoare în timp, dar în fiecare moment fascinante. Andreea lucrează sub numele Iminent Detour (ocol iminent), pentru ca nu se grăbește nicăieri. A absolvit în Anglia de la Northumbria cu un BA in Arhitectură, si cu un MA in Situated Design la St. Joost in Țările de Jos.
