An Ethical Challenge for the Museum World 4 EDITORIAL Virgil Ștefan Nițulescu, PhD Editor-in-Chief ABSTRACT Though the ICOM Code of Ethics is very much invoked in Romania, it is, in fact, less known, proving the fact that there is still a lot to do, in the Romanian museums, in order to implement the principles of ICOM and to convince the Romanian authorities to comprehend the role of museums and of heritage in the contemporary Romanian society. One good occasion would be the time of 2018, when the European Union celebrates the European Year of Cultural Heritage and Romania celebrates one century from the Great Union (when all the Romanian provinces united, in 1918, in one national state). Key-words: Romanian museums, ICOM Code of Ethics. 5 The International Council of Museums (ICOM) has trafficking in cultural goods, clandestine archaeological been established as the main international non- excavations, cultural goods destruction, emergency governmental organization ever since its creation in actions in case of natural disaster, and continuing 1946, as a successor of the International Museums with the requests for return of objects to their Office (1926-1945). Initially, the link between original communities, the requests for return of setting standards for museums on a universal basis stolen or seized goods to their rightful owners, and drawing up a deontological code of museum mediation of disputes on museum goods and the specialists did not seem very direct. However, immoral behaviour of some professionals in the following the adoption of the Convention on field. In the last few years, others have been added measures to be taken to ban and prevent illicit to these problems, including the deaccession (the import, export and transfer of property, adopted term is not yet acquired into Romanian, and we use by UNESCO on November 14, 1970 (which Romania this barbarism, from English) of cultural assets (in joined only in 1990), ICOM considered it necessary other words, the museum’s renunciation to some to adopt a number of resolutions in support of collected assets), the closure of some museums and those who were to implement the provisions of the financial pressures exerted on them. the Convention and who worked in museums. Undoubtedly, the museums had no way of remaining In a recently published volume, the well-known indifferent to cultural goods trafficking, they could American museologist Gary Edson even considered not lend credit, through their respectability, to those that among all the standards promoted by ICOM over dealing with this trafficking, because museums are the seven decades of existence, the Code of Ethics is the most well-known and influential in the museum not simple players in the culture market, but some world1. responsible organizations for educating citizens. In fact, in the same year, ICOM specified, in a document Unfortunately, Romania still lacks a version approved that became programmatic for the whole activity of by the Romanian National Committee ICOM of the the organization, that “market laws cannot become Code of Ethics. However, the document is quite the laws governing museums.” This was the nucleus well known (albeit too superficial and often only from which, in the years to come, a stream of thought declarative, in my opinion) in Romanian museums. was born in ICOM for the adoption of an ethical code Like any code, it also includes a set of rules to be of the profession, which only happened in November observed, mutually and willingly, by all members of 1986 at the Buenos Aires General Conference. The the museum community. The idea of respecting a immediate effect of adopting the first Code of moral code is specific to liberal professions. In case of Ethics for Museums was the establishment of a violation of the provisions of such a code, the culprit Committee on Deontology (the current ETHCOM). should be punished in some way, up to the loss of This Committee constituted the laboratory where the right to practice the profession. While in the case the Council perfected the principles and definitions of physicians or psychologists, for example, there of the Code, up to its current form, adopted at the are colleagues in Romania who can sanction the Seoul General Conference in October 2004. deeds of a member of the profession who violated 1 Gary Edson, Unchanging Ethics in a Changing World, in Museums, Issues debated by ETHCOM cover a fairly wide range Ethics and Cultural Heritage, Edited by Bernice L. Murphy, London of museum-specific activities, ranging from illicit and New York: Routledge, 2016, p. 134. 6 the code of ethics, there is no such correspondent at the universal level. In addition, we should note that for museum staff. Thus, the only arbiter is the one specialized codes have already begun to appear, the outside the profession: the law. The great variety of first of which is for natural history museums, ratified specific functions in museums (from curators and in August 2013 by the Committee for Museums scholars to curators and drawers), as well as the and Natural History Collections (NATHIST). At the known lack of own organization, make it hard to imagine the establishment of a college of museums, same time, the International Council for Museums let’s say, in Romania. In the absence of such a body, and Collections of Modern Art (CIMAM), an ICOM the request of compliance with the Code of Ethics affiliated organization, decided in November 2009 remains only a desideratum. Certainly, some of on the principles to be followed in the event of these provisions can become rules by including deaccession (with express application only to this them in normative acts, but in this case the noble type of museum, obviously). feeling of belonging to a particular profession and to a certain body of professionals is lost. As two Confronted with enough internal conflicts, with the American authors have said, “a professional is more daily struggle to obtain the necessary resources for than a person with skills and knowledge. To become the operation, with the claims of the credit officers, a professional, you need to devote your skills and with the obvious “detachment” displayed by the knowledge to promoting human dignity.2” In other resort Ministry regarding the fundamental problems words, a museum professional cannot be a simple employee who performs mechanical tasks. Working of the museums (of all museums) in Romania, the in a museum implies the existence of an inner community of specialists hopes that in 2018, when purpose to work for the benefit of the community, the European Union celebrates the European Year beyond statements and annual assessments made of Cultural Heritage, and Romania celebrates the by hierarchical superiors. 100th anniversary of the Great Union, there will be a greater interest on behalf of the society as a whole, Several recent cases recorded in Romanian museums, which brought to public knowledge the existence of for heritage and, therefore, for museums. If so, this fierce and painful conflicts in some of the museums will also depend on the attitude of those working in of the country, let us see a general picture, somewhat museums and who should be aware of the facts we bleaker than we suspected.

  • Cap. Iv. Sculptura Modernă Românească. Consideraţii Necesare
    Cornel T. Durgheu Sculptura monumentală din Bihor CAP. IV. SCULPTURA MODERNĂ ROMÂNEASCĂ. CONSIDERAŢII NECESARE Arta şi în special arta monumentală nu a fost de la începuturi folosită în scopuri politice, în înţelesul real de „propagandă”. Aceasta se va întâmpla mult mai târziu prin secolul al XVII-lea – când Biserica Catolică a deschis ofensiva împotriva protestantismului. Din totdeauna „propaganda” a fost atât de tendenţioasă încât era imposibil ca să nu primească conotaţii morale, putând sugera uneori şi asociaţii nefericite. Cea mai mare parte a ceea ce în mod normal percepem ca artă, de-a lungul întregii civilizaţii culturale umane, poate fi considerată de fapt, drept manifestări mai mult sau mai puţin directe ale propagandei” (autorităţii). Fiecare operă de artă este purtătoare de mesaj, şi implicit, de la început a servit, indiferent dacă scopul ei care, conştient sau nu formulat, participă la întărirea puterii şi reputaţiei (persoanei, instituţiei etc.) care o comanda sau finanţa. Cu toate că din cele mai vechi timpuri exista desigur şi ceea ce am putea denumi arta apolitică: operele decorative, picturile care împodobeau pereţii sau spaţiile structurilor arhitectonice, sau copii de statui plasate în parcurile sau grădinile publice, ele aveau scopuri filantropice şi serveau numai realizării unui mediu convenţional corespunzător, estetic şi ambiental. Credem că o atare abordare, vast concepută, a importanţei artei în mediile sociale, este justificată şi nu se pune în discuţie caracterul şi rolul urmărit şi jucat, funcţia oficială şi a propagandei sale în perioadele sferei de influenţă. Am constatat că monumentele, în decursul timpului, au abundat în mesaje exprimate prin imagini şi figuri concrete, alegorii, simboluri şi legende.

  • Romanian Art Society - a Landmark of the Autochthonous Aesthetics in 1918
    I N T E R N A T I O NA L CO N F E R E N C E RCIC’18 Redefining Community in Intercultural Context Bucharest, 17-19 May 2018 ROMANIAN ART SOCIETY - A LANDMARK OF THE AUTOCHTHONOUS AESTHETICS IN 1918 Cristina GELAN Music, Theater and Visual Arts Faculty, “Ovidius” University, Constanţa, Romania Abstract: On March 9, 1918, the Romanian Art Society was founded in Bucharest. This was an organization that appeared as a form of protest at the proposal of an authorized artistic force of the time, the Artistic Youth Society, addressed to the artists who were mobilized by the Great General Headquarters of the Romanian Army in Iasi to participate in the great exhibition that they organized in April 1918. Revolted by the academic-romantic-idyllic spirit, reflected in the works of the representatives of the Artistic Youth Society, out at the issues of daily life, artists such as Ştefan Dimitrescu, Camil Ressu, Nicolae Tonitza, I. Ştefănescu, Ion Theodorescu- Sion, Nicolae Dărăscu, Alexis Macedonski, Ionescu Doru, Oscar Han and Traian Cornescu wanted to create an artistic bastion that would provide them with a framework where their aspirations can be revealed and offer them the legitimacy to seek a line of expansion and deepening of the ways of expression specific to Romanian art. During the period 1918 - 1924, the Romanian Art Society became the main attraction of the ideals of the artists who were mobilized on the front of the First World War and who contributed to the realization of works of art, of a high artistic level, grounded in the surrounding reality.

This is the ingenious mechanism that, through its half-golden half, black, indicates the lunar phases. In the temple of the iconostasis was a painting with the image of Horea, one of the leaders of the rebellion of 1784, considered by many historians to be the only authentic reproduction of his physiognomy.

  • Unique Aspects from the Life and Activity of Octavian C. Tăslăuanu
    Unique Aspects from the Life and Activity of Octavian C. Tãslãuanu GEORGE-BOGDAN TOFAN HE GALLERY of outstanding national personalities from the Land of Topliþa com- prises Elie Miron Cristea, Alexandru Nicolescu, Emilian (Dumitru) Antal, Vasile T Urzicã, Ioan Bucur and Octavian Codru Tãslãuanu. The latter left a significant imprint upon Romanian history, distinguishing himself as a writer, publicist and politi- cian. Despite several attempts to shed some light on his life and activity, it seems that this multidimensional cultural personality of the interwar years is currently known and remembered only by a minute group of intellectuals. For this reason, the author of this paper, despite being a geographer by profession and not a literary historian, originating from Bilbor, believes he must do his moral duty towards his forbearer, taking up the difficult but beautiful tasks of revisiting, in these pages, a part of the life, fruitful work and activity of Octavian C. Tãslãuanu, dedicated to national unity. An unpleasant aspect, which we are unfortunately obliged to mention, is the total lack of reaction from local and county officials in regards to the memorandum submit- ted on 14 September 2009 by Stela Mitruþã (the writer’s granddaughter), and co-signed by Constantin Hârlav, a researcher at the Romanian Academy and also a Bilbor native, regarding the house of Cornel Tãslãuanu (Octavian’s younger brother), arguing that it should be preserved, renovated and turned into a museum. The building was erected in 1927, in the center of the commune, and it was an architectural landmark, as one of the last remaining house built between the two world wars.
