Flaviu Rogojan (b.1990) is an multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and cultural manager based in Cluj, Romania. His work explores the complex and intertwined nature of our online and offline lives, drawing on influences from science, technology, video games, and Internet culture. In his practice, he merges obscure information with conceptual art techniques to craft fictions and commentaries on current political issues. In 2022 he was awarded a Eastern European Network Fellowship at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart.

He studied photography and fine arts at the University of Art and Design in Cluj, where he was involved in organizing student union representation and educational projects, as well as running a students’ gallery called Ataș Project Space.

He is a founding member and coordinator of Aici Acolo, a curatorial collective and pop-up gallery project in Romania that transforms unused or abandoned spaces into temporary art spaces organizes residencies and supports artistic research for emerging artists.

In 2019, he co-founded Off Season, an international artist residency in Albania focused on artistic research and site-specific production around the notion of critical tourism on the Albanian coast. Off Season exhibitions have travelled internationally, and the latest exhibition was part of Manifesta 14 in Prishtina/Kosovo.

Between 2020 and 2022 he was the programme director and curator of Zina Gallery Cluj.
