The condition that launched the Museum is the lack of historical discourses of recent Romanian art. As a young artist that needs to reflect upon the history of his/hers society and needs to find within this history artists and works to which to react to, either critically or in admiration, the lack of coherent narratives of recent art history is reclaimed as an aberration. The Blind Museum is the context in which this situation is reflected upon.
Further on, the institution developed into reflections on the authoritative nature of the institution of the museum, the ideology of the white cube and the hegemony of masculine canon in Western art.
Recently, the museum has worked as a framework for identifying invisible mechanisms of power involving contemporary and historical conditions.
It remains an institution which elaborates on a formalism of dystopia and paradox.
