Summary/Abstract: After the fall of the communist regime, Romania found itself integrated in the complex European cultural space but faced the almost total absence of a general infrastructure, which would have allowed the successful promotion of both existing values and the values that were bound to appear. The world of art had to find a new voice and a new matrix to allow the incorporation of its past and to produce new values during the process. The present paper looks at the manner in which the Romanian artistic community responded to these challenges, from the new practices of art galleries or auction houses, through the recourse to social media, to artist-run spaces and especially the experience of the Spatiu Intact project.
