The exhibition at Kevin Space, which was preceded by in-depth research in Ioana Nemeș's archive, includes works such as:

The Wall Project comprises the first sustained efforts of photographic recording and self-evaluation/positioning on the constantly moving line between subjective and objective.

Monthly Evaluations was progressively developed by the artist between 2005 and 2010 out of a desire to "record, dissect, understand and describe intangible things such as life and time" based on the application of a series of parameters to evaluate and visualize each day, developed and tested between 2003 and 2004. It was the main series in which Ioana Nemeș developed a working methodology at the intersection of language and image, always combining the documentary, the fictional, the autobiographical with the extension to the investigation of general themes relevant to the artistic process with micro and macro stories, in parallel with her personal and artistic development against the background of the emergence of an art scene in Romania at the time.

Ioana Nemeș (1979- 2011) was one of the best-known Romanian artists of her generation. She studied photography with Iosif Kiraly at the National University of Arts Bucharest. She was a recognized competitive athlete in the national handball team until she decided to study art at the age of 21 after a serious accident. Her work and artistic research were inspired by the need to visualize and communicate as clearly as possible the mechanisms behind the visual, linguistic and psychological systems that define us.
Ioana Nemeș has been shown in important exhibitions such as the Istanbul Biennial (2009), U-Turn Copenhagen (2008), Prague Biennial (2007) and Bucharest Biennial 2 (2006). Her work has been exhibited at Art in General, NY (USA), Secession, Vienna (AT), Smart Project Space, Amsterdam (NL), Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel (DE), Royal College of Art, London (UK), Salonul de Proiecte, Bucharest (RO), Eastside Projects, Birmingham (UK), Triumf Amiria - Museum of Queer Culture, Bucharest (RO), Caixaforum Barcelona (ES), MNAC Bucharest (RO), Sculpture Museum Krolikarnia Warsaw (PL), Uj Gallery, Budapest Museum (HU), Goethe Institute, Sofia (BG), KIM?
