Vlad Nancă (born 1979) lives and works in Bucharest (Romania). In parallel with his early art practice Vlad Nancă was an active participant in the coagulation of the
young artist scene in Bucharest. In 2003 he was one of the founding members of 2020 initiative, under which among other events, he hosted the Home Gallery, started the “incepem” emailing list and the “incepem” fanzine. His early works employ political and cultural symbols, often using word-play to evoke nostalgia and referencing Romania's recent history and challenging the
social and political climate, but Nancă's recent interests revolve around
(public) space and its use and functions, materializing in sculptures, objects and installations.<
