Almost exclusively Livia Pancu is taking her practical knowledge from Vector Association (2005 – 2007, 2010 – 2012) and tranzit.ro (2012 – ) where she is currently the co-director and the curator for tranzit.ro/ Iasi. Through the years she has worked with artists such as: Andrea Faciu, Ayman Ramadan, Antonia Hirsch, Simona Dumitriu & Ramona Dima , Andreas Fogarasi, Cristina David, Ionuț Toma, Nebojsa Milikic, Florin Bobu, Nono Pessoa, Lee Kit, Matei Bejenaru, Cezar Lăzărescu or Dan Acostioaei. Livia Pancu is interested in understanding the different internal mechanics of contemporary art organisations (almost institutions) in non-capital cities.
