The
very
unpleasant
surprise
that
we
only
noticeded
after
we
visited
Art
Safari,
as
we
exited
the
building,
was
that
the
venue
selected
for
this
year
edition
didn't
have
a
fire
and
emergency
situation
authorization
(called
ISU
Authorization),
meaning
that
the
building
was
not
safe
for
visitors
in
case
of
fire
or
other
calamities.
Inside
the
Dacia
Palace
the
rooms
didn't
have
signs
for
exit
in
case
of
fire,
they
where
too
dark
(to
display
the
paitings
better,
but
it
was
too
much
),
so
dark
that
you
couldn't
even
read
the
labels.
I
wonder
how
the
organisers
got
the
approval
for
this
art
fair
and
if
the
sponsors
knew
about
the
fire
hazard,
including
The
Romanian
Gouvernement
and
the
Minister
of
Culture.
Probably
they
knew,
but
as
we
know,
in
Romania
corruption
is
very
high.
The
artwork
exhibited
doesn't
justify
the
high
ticket
price
which
is
comparable
to
the
one
at
big
European
museums
(about
20
euros)
especially
since
Art
Safari
was
sponsored
by
the
government
and
Glo
tabbaco
products.
Another
minus
is
the
fact
that
people
who
bought
tickets
in
advance
had
to
wait
in
line
at
the
entrance
with
all
the
visitors
who
were
buying
the
ticket
on
the
spot.
The
conclusion
is
that
Art
Safari
is
an
overrated,
wannabe
art
event,
with
higher
prices
every
year,
and
with
no
respect
for
the
visitors,
since
the
venue
is
a
fire
hazard
one.
