  • Muzeului Banatului Intre Anii 1923-1998
    BIBLIOGRAFIA BANATULUI ÎN PUBLICATIILE A ' MUZEULUI BANATULUI INTRE ANII 1923-1998 Daniela Micu Câteva lămuriri În 1872, fondatorii şi membrii Societăţii de Arheologie şi Istorie puneau bazele Muzeului Bănăţean din Timişoara, ce urma să fiinţeze ca spaţiu expoziţional şi de conservare pentru descoperirile făcute în timp pe teritoriul Banatului. La 50 de ani de la înfiinţarea Muzeului Bănăţean, şi anume în 1923, a apărut Gemina, prima revistă în limba română a muzeului, după ce până atunci această instituţie publicase un anuar, Emlekkonyv (1872-1874), şi o revistă, TOrtenelmi es Regeszeti Ertesito (1875-1918), ambele în limba maghiară. Probleme financiare, mai târziu chiar politice, au făcut ca, în timp, să apară cu întreruperi mai multe publicaţii ale muzeului, la intervale mai scurte sau mai lungi de timp. Astfel, după Gemina, din 1928 şi până în 1931, a apărut revista Analele Banatului. Numai în anii '70 avea să apară primul anuar al muzeului de după al Ii-lea Război Mondial, Tibiscus, pentru ca în anii '80 să se revină la titlul Analele Banatului, publicaţie care apare şi astăzi. În revistele muzeului bănăţean, au publicat ani la rând specialişti fie din cadrul instituţiei timişorene, fie de la alte muzee, cât şi personalităţi de seamă ale vremurilor respective sau doar pasionaţi de un domeniu sau altul. Astfel, prezenta bibliografie încearcă să cuprindă tot ce a fost publicat începând din 1923 şi până în 1998 în periodicele muzeului. Nu mi-au stat la îndemână două fascicole din Gemina. Această listă bibliografică a fost concepută pentru a servi drept instrument de informare, orientare şi îndrumare pentru cei interesaţi de un domeniu anume referitor la Banat.

În câteva luni, însă, Art Encounters a devenit o realitate vie, un organism complex, ce a reuşit să coaguleze entuziasmul şi energiile comunităţii locale şi ale celei artistice naţionale. Fundaţia Art Encounters şi‑a asumat rolul de ferment al acestei stări, reuşind să creeze punţi: spre trecut—amintind vocaţia Timişoarei pentru mişcarea novatoare, de avangardă, a anilor ’60–’70, şi a înce‑ putului anilor ’90–2000; spre prezent, aducând arta de valoare în apropierea fiecăruia dintre noi; spre viitor, oferind tinerilor creatori şansa de a‑şi investiga propriile mijloace de exprimare, de a experimenta noi practici artistice; în spaţiu, aducând Aradul mai aproape de Timişoara, pe harta artei, dar şi, ceea ce este cel mai important, punţi spre ceilaţi, spre public, ca principal destinatar al artei. Implicată puternic în social, arta contemporană înregistrează pulsaţiile vremii. Este deschisă spre lume, iese pe stradă, coboară în spaţii nepretenţioase. Provoacă reacţie şi participare. De aceea, una dintre ţin‑ tele evenimentului Art Encounters este să ofere publicului oportunitatea de a se întâlni cu arta, de a experimenta, de a participa la o comunicare activă cu artişti, curatori, directori de muzee şi critici de artă, în punctul de intersecţie al scenei artistice româneşti cu cea internaţională.

  • Romul Nutiu – Elan Vital
    R O M U L NU Ț IU elan vital ROMUL NU Ț IU elan vital BUCHAREST C ONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY ROMUL NU Ț IU elan vital ROMUL NU Ț IU elan vital An energizing bath in color! Romul Nuţiu’s paintings transport the color in a dynamic and sovereign way. His abstract expressionism provokes and harmonizes at the same time. Figurative allusions are hidden, vanishing behind the power of color. In his creation, the author conveys the idea of “elan vital”, initiated by the French philosopher Henri Bergson. This “philosophem” defines an omnipresent spiritual force which produces the development and can be perceived only intuitively and not rationally, appearing in all the creation processes - be they artistic or scientific - and also in nature’s development. Guided by spontaneous intuition and driven by his semantic complexity, the artist moves beyond the canvas, as the only action field, creating objects and installations which are more like paintings transposed in space. Thus the creative act becomes an event. Romul Nuţiu approaches shape and movement with confidence and determination. Although structured, he never loses the liberty to improvise. The source of inspiration of his graphic and expressive language is nature: especially the plant, the stem – vegetal and earthly structures, and the root – underground vegetal structures; it feeds from the soil and returns fertility to it, and in this permanent struggle for survival it is akin to man. Romul Nuţiu’s works produce transcendence, hidden spirituality. The Waterfalls, Birds, Ball diary, Cross-sections Through the Fertile Ground, Windows… even those works simply called Composition - all reveal, despite their diversity, the accomplished artist’s sure hand and personal style.

    Victor Neumann DOI: 10.2298/BALC1344391N Original scholarly work West University of Timişoara Timişoara between “Fictive Ethnicity” and “Ideal Nation” The Identity Profile during the Interwar Period Abstract: Seeking to delineate the identity profile of the citizens of interwar Timişoara, a city at the crossroad of Central- and South-East-European cultures and civiliza- tions, the paper analyzes the national, linguistic and religious population structure using the data provided by three censuses (1910, 1930 and 1941). Under Hungarian rule, until the First World War, there prevailed the policy of linguistic nationalism. After 1918, in Romania, there occurred a policy shift towards ethno-culturally based differentiation, i.e. towards belonging to a nation. Yet, amidst the interaction of cul- tures and customs, the notion of nationality or ethno-nationality was quite relative, and Timişoara functioned as a multilingual and multireligious environment. Con- tradictions were observable between nationalist political orientation and aspirations of local society. The Jewish community was an embodiment of multiculturalism. The Jews enjoyed equal rights and functioned as a bridge between other communities. In the 1930s multicultural Timişoara seems to have been a contrast to the cities where different linguistic and religious communities lived parallel lives in isolation from one another. Thus, Timişoara resisted radical, racist and anti-Semitic movements that emerged on the European political scene in the interwar period. Keywords: Timişoara, population structure, nationality, official identity policies, multi- lingualism, multiconfessionality, multiculturality, Jewish community y study aims to call attention to the identity profile of Timişoara during the interwar period, a city at the crossroads of cultures and civilizationsM between Central and South-Eastern Europe.
