Street Delivery was the theme of the second and following several editions of the event. I love Bucharest and the art gallery attended with original projects, which again attracted a large segment of the event’s audience and gained new supporters of the principles of the programme.

Art Delivery – May 5-6, 2006

The I love Bucharest programme was presented on May 5 and 6, 2006 at the urban event Art Delivery that took place on Pictor Verona Street in Bucharest under the main theme “Your street is my street!". This "cultural route" was an event held with the support of mayoral sectors 1 and 2 and the Municipality of Bucharest and it was organized by the Order of Architects of Romania and Carturesti Bookshop, in collaboration with numerous partners, including the “Grigore Mora” Art Gallery.

The most important events for the I love Bucharest programme were: the street workshop for children and youth (developed together with the “Gaspar, Baltasar & Melchior” Association), the promotion through flyers and postcards made by artists, the pilot of the Roll Up Art project and the survay managed through the questionnaire developed by the team and carried out on the public (105 people, aged between 10 and 66 years) that validated the intentions of the programme and its projects.
Draw for Bucharest and Pots were among the projects delivered during those days. They attracted children, youth and adults of all ages and encouraged the people of Bucharest to paint and draw (in general, on urban issues or just free) paper and pots, favourite playground, the way to school, my street, my school, my town, etc..based on the individual perception of Bucharest nowadays.

The postcards made by artists in the gallery were of a great interest and continues to be a very succesful project. Artists primarily used photos of Bucharest, which were later processed in order to visually mediate the direction of the programme towards an aesthetic refreshing of the city with projects made by artists and built with people. They also constitute an important method of self-financing for the programme.

Street Delivery - 1-3 iunie 2007

For the second edition of the "Arthur Verona cultural route”, I love Bucharest came up with two interactive projects:

Courier (project proposed by architect Adriana Mereuta) - a free communication exercise between people in Bucharest - a city where you live or transit only. Most of the times, “the other” remains suspended in the phone book pages that are rewritten every year. This time, the distance between people was reduced by letters as a means of communication.

Portraits Gallery (project proposed by visual artist Virginia Toma) - a project for everyone, which should have been transformed into an exhibition using design and human geography; however, due to objective reasons it could not materialise.

focAR group proposed and presented the Urban Traces project, an interactive action where citizens and city dwellers simply printed their thoughts. The material support of these prints of thought were the walls and furniture of the urban area and a large envelope of cloth, as a follow-up of the unconventional display spaces (which began in early 2007); it also interacted with the Courier project.
