[Nettime-ro] vernisaj expozitie Ion Birladeanu - Realpolitik - vineri 16 mai ora 19 |
Ion Birladeanu Realpolitik Vineri, 16 mai 2008 ora 19 H?art Gallery str. Mihai Eminescu nr.105-107 Exista un mit fascinant al omului aflat la marginea societatii care duce o existenta psihopompa dincolo de conventii sau conforturi burgheze. Fiecare societate are nevoie de acesti oameni care traiesc atat inauntrul unei societati, cit si inafara ei (...) Ion Birladeanu a avut o existenta de acest tip. Este nascut in 1946 si de mai bine de treizeci de ani a evitat sa devina un ?cetatean onorabil?. Pe vremea comunismului a schimbat toate muncile posibile. La douazeci de ani pleaca din satul sau natal (Zapodeni, judetul Vaslui) si incepe sa munceasca la stuf in Tulcea sau docher in Constanta. In Bucuresti este pe rind gropar, taietor la gater, paznic sau muncitor necalificat la Casa Poporului. Dupa 1989 traieste din resurse marginale ocupindu-se ca un free lancer de selectarea gunoiului intr-o curte de bloc de pe strada Mosilor si face mici servicii locatarilor. Nu isi intemeiaza o familie si nu se mai angajeaza. In toti acesti ani, Ion Birladeanu isi intretine insa un proiect artistic pe care il arata ?doar citorva oameni destepti?. El a facut ceea ce orice artist ar trebui sa faca fie literal, fie metaforic: a parcurs drumul riscant in acel no man?s land unde fiecare societate isi leapada mastile. Groapa de gunoi este unul dintre aceste locuri. Aproape toata informatia culturala a unei culturi ajunge sa fie aruncata la gunoi. E un loc bun pentru un autodidact si pentru oricare cautator. Prin existenta lui, Ion Birladeanu a selectat timp de mai bine de treizeci de ani imagini din reviste si a realizat o serie de colaje unice (...) Expozitia Realpolitik prezinta o serie de colaje politice pe care Ion Birladeanu le-a facut dupa 1989. Colajele realizate intre 1990 si 1996 constituie o critica cinica la adresa tuturor ?virfurilor? politicii romanesti care au populat spatiul public romanesc. Ceausescu are un loc aparte, politica post-decembrista fiind si ea prezenta prin Iliescu, Constantinescu, Funar, Petre Roman sau Adrian Paunescu. There is a fascinating myth about the man living at the borders of society, living a life that bypasses the conventions and comforts of the bourgeois existence. Each open society needs those people who are living, in the same time, inside and outside of it (?) Ion Bîrlãdeanu had such an existence. He was born in 1946 and for more than 30 years he refused to become an ?honorable citizen?. During communism he had had several jobs. In his 20s he left his native village (Zãpodeni, in Vaslui county) to work on the reed fields in Tulcea and then as a docker in Constanþa. Arriving in Bucharest he worked as grave digger, as frame saw worker, security person, or unqualified worker at the House of the People. Starting with 1989 he lives a marginal life, working as a free-lance selector of garbage from a block of flats on Moºilor Street and doing little favours for the people living there. He does not raise a family; he is not employed to this day. But all these years, he continues his great project that he shows only to a few ?intelligent people?. He did what, in my opinion, metaphorically or literally, every artist should do: take the risky road into no man?s land where every society throws its masks away: the dump. Throughout his existence Ion Bîrlãdeanu selected magazine images and made a series of unique collages (?) The current exhibition presents a series of political collages, made after 1989. Chronologically they are the newest, made between 1990 and 1996, as a cynical critique towards the all the ?leaders? of the Romanian politics, that wandered around the public sphere. Ceauºescu has a special place, but post-communism is also represented by Iliescu, Constantinescu, Funar, Petre Roman or Adrian Pãunescu.
