ROMANIA: Timișoara - Calea Martirilor - Triade Sculpture Park - Spotlight Heritage - Open Air Museum

Parcul de sculptura Triade

The Triade Foundation initiated the „Sculpture Nursery“ project in 2003, wherein Romanian and international artists provided models of their works that were later produced in Timişoara for an outdoor exhibition. The Triade Park, located near the Interart Triade Foundation, where the Jecza Museum operates, houses more than 40 stone and metal sculptures. Some of these works were created by prominent Romanian sculptors. It is located in the district Calea Martirilor at Strada Maximilian Fremont, with Calea Martirilor 1989 in the west and Strada Mureș in the north.

„In the last 5-6 years, the recognition of Timisoara’s art values has grown impressively. Along with the art of artists who emigrated long ago, such as Ingo Glass, the avant- garde works of the 60s-80s were showcased internationally and entered valuable European and trans-Atlantic art collections: the Venice Biennale, Tate Modern London, the Museum Ritter in Germany, Museum ZKM Karlsruhe, MUMOK Vienna… now, here, Museum of Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Garage Museum in Moscow, Museum in São Paulo. And the journey has only just begun…“ – Excerpt from End Days 11. (Pseudo) correspondence. 1st January 1st April 2018, manuscript volume by Sorina Jecza – „For many bypassers, tired by the weight of everyday life, the Triade space remains just a question mark posed on their daily rush. For those who have ever had the curiosity (or, perhaps, the chance) to penetrate beyond the threshold, the sculpture garden is the frontier to another world.“ – Sorina Jecza, 2023
