Anca Mihulet
CURATORSHIP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

Misiunea curatorului a fost expusa si supraexpusa. Dar, ceea ce e sigur, e anume curatorul, care a devenit un factor critic in interiorul societatii, capabil de a influenta, prin abordarea vizuala pe care el/ea o alege, perspectiva observatorilor. In lectureul meu informal, de la Pavilion UniCredit, voi vorbi despre interesele si motivatiile personale, ca un curator specializat in arta contemporana intr-un muzeu clasic, Muzeul National Brukenthal.

Suntem parte integranta a unei culturiâ care pretuieste puternic securitatea si siguranta, ca principii de baza ale acivitatii institutionale si de stat. Aceasta abordare genereaza vulnerabilitate la nivelul factorilor de decizie. Este extrem de important sÄ construim institutii culturale bine organizate care produc ordine, in loc sa mentinem institutii supra-securizate care normeaza dezordinea.

Voi incerca sa dezbat rolul muzeului clasic care nu poate sa mai reactioneze ca un spatiu de reprezentare, care nu poate fi atins. Care sunt procedurile legale, politice, morale si logistice care sustin un proiect de arta contemporana in interiorul unui muzeu clasic?

Anca Mihulet este curator la Galeria de Arta Contemporana din Muzeul National Brukenthal, Sibiu.

FREE ACADEMY isi doreste sa fie o platforma informationala, o alternativa informala la sistemul educational romanesc (neperformant) fara pretentia de a fi pus intr-un context oficial. Plusand pe o maniera neoliberala de predare ne dorim prin acest proiect sa urmarim beneficiile individuale si mai putin cele de grup. Fiecare individ are sansa la cultura/culturalizare si, in extenso, sansa la o alternativa. Nu credem ca o diploma poate oferi un exemplu de competenta si, mai ales, de calitate a individului care o poseda si de aceea cursurile structurate in Free Academy nu ofera diplome si alte tipuri de hartii. Fiind adversarii "societatii acreditarilor" credem ca nu exista tangente remarcabile intre o diploma si competenta profesionala a unui individ. Ceea ce face diferenta intre sistemul formal propus de parghiile oficiale ale statului si educatia informala, propusa de proiectul Free Academy, este faurirea a ceea ce apare in discursul despre educatie ca fiind "cetateanul activ" - acel tip de cetatean care participa la discursul social, care este agent al schimbarii, care propune termenii dezvoltarii, care are resursele atitudinale si competentele de a se implica.

FREE ACADEMY este un program finantat de Administratia Fondului Cultural National.

CURATORSHIP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

The mission of the curator has been stated and over-stated. But what is certain is that the curator has become a critical factor within the society, capable of influencing, through the visual approach that he / she chooses, the perspective of the observers. During my informal lecture at Pavilion Unicredit, I will speak about my general interests and motivations as a curator specialized on contemporary art in a classical museum, The National Brukenthal Museum. We are indeed part of a biased culture that strongly treasures security and safety as basic principles of state and institutional activity. This approach generates vulnerability within decision-making systems. It is higly important to build well-organized cultural institutions that produce order, instead of maintaining over-secured institutions that regulate disorder. I will try to question the new role of the classical museum that can not react like a space of representation, untouchable and unreachable. What are the legal, the political, the moral and the logistical issues that sustain a contemporary art project inside a classical museum?

Anca Mihulet is the curator at The Contemporary Art Gallery of the National Brukenthal Museum, Sibiu

FREE ACADEMY wishes to be an informational platform, an informal alternative to the Romanian educational system (unsatisfying) without wanting to be part of an official context. Emphasizing on neoliberal teaching manner we want to pursue the individual benefits, rather than the group's benefits. Each person has the chance for culture/ dissemination of culture, and thus the chance for an alternative. We don't believe a diploma can offer a proficiency example, and, most of all, the quality of the person that posses it, and that is why the Free Academy courses don't offer diplomas or any other certificates. Being adversaries of ''the creditors society'' we think that there aren't any remarkable tangents between a diploma and one's professional ability. What makes the difference between the formal system suggested by the Officials and the informal education, put froward by the Free Academy, it's the making of what the speech on educations calls an active citizen- the type of citizen that participates in social discourse, the agent of change, who recommends the terms for development, who has the attitude resources and the ability to get involved.

FREE ACADEMY is supported by Romanian National Cultural Fund.
