They call into  question our very understanding of this present\u2014along with its social,  political and cultural potential. This program, curated by artist and  SAIC faculty member Irina Botea, proposes a trajectory of reenactment  that cycles through highly mediated events and famous works of art, from  a propaganda film made by the Romanian secret police in 1959 to Sharon  Hayes\u2019s <em>Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) Screeds <\/em>(2003), in  which the artist attempts to recite from memory Patty Hearst\u2019s infamous  tapes to her parents after being kidnapped in 1974. Also featuring work  by Ion Grigorescu, Ciprian Muresan, Mathew Paul Jinks, and  Artur \u017bmijewski, among others.
