| The National Museum of Contemporary Art has managed to gather a very strong line-up of exhibitions in the last few months.
One of the powerful exhibitions present in the MNAC is "Teledivision" show.
The thing that I particularly appreciate about this exhibition is that it manages to create a "home-like" environment, the movies being projected in thematic room-like spaces, for instance there's a kid's room, a bedroom, and a living room.
The movies that are projected in each room are thematically linked, for instance - the kid's room features czech animations (really good), and other children's movies, while the news room features politically-satyrical movies (and not only).
It is almost impossible to watch all the movies that this exhibition features, one would have to spend a whole day at the museum only to see 75-80% of the movies, which is a pity in a way, because many of the movies are really interesting.
However, I am a bit bored of the message that this exhibition is trying to send; its message is just another way of saying "Cu televizorul ati mintit poporul" (You've lied to the people using the television), and though it seems to be an omni-present theme in the former communist countries, I think it is time artists made peace with the television and started using it more intelligently.
The exhibition is open until July 3rd (Happy Birthday!) and is organised by Eastern Alliance and the Czech Cultural Center in Bucharest.
Please note:
This tried to be somewhat of a review of the Teledivision exhibition, it is by no means perfect, in fact - i am aware that it doesn't touch on many important aspects, and it is not very thorough, but I'll develop my skills in this by writing about more exhibitions and by seeing more exhibitions; your feedback is higly appreciated too.

| I haven't updated this blog in a long, long while, not because I had nothing to say, but because I was afraid of taking a few minutes, being alone with myself and my thoughts.
As it might be clear by now, this blog is not different than other personal blogs - it too deals with problems of identity, acceptance, trust in self and in others, privacy, fear etc. And it's not that special.. I'm sure that in 20 or 50 years, when our children will teach at Columbia University classes on blogs (they'll probably be studied in a course of Cultural Anthropology), my blog will be just another personal blog out of the millions that would exist by then; it holds the same thoughts and ideas of any 20 year old a-bit-above-the-average Joe. But I need to think and write these thoughts, in a way - i feel it's the only way I'll be able to move on.
So, I've done a great deal of things recently, and I'll try to write a bit about all of them, in the next few posts. | | |
