“The museum is a medium that should constantly be able to be questioned. It cannot be anymore intended as a space of mere contemplation but rather as a social space based on freedom of experimentation and on the desire to realise artists’ visions. In a historical moment in which the concept of museum and its identity are constantly challenged by social and economic changes as well as by the language of art itself, it’s essential to experiment with alternative models.
In occasion of the talk, I would discuss the program I’m developing at MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome where I’m turning the museum into an exhibition intended as a form and place of production. A container which becomes content – aiming to reduce the distance between the dichotomies of museum-actor and public-spectator”.

Nova serija javnih predavanja međunarodnog programa „Šta kustosiranje može/treba da bude“
Onlajn predavanje italijanskog kustosa Luke Lo Pinta
„Reimaginacija muzeja“
Utorak, 10. novembar, Zoom platforma
Prvo predavanje u okviru novog ciklusa međunarodnog programa „Šta kustosiranje može/treba da bude“ pod nazivom „Reimaginacija muzeja“ održaće italijanski kustos Luka Lo Pinto u utorak, 10. novembra u 12 sati na Zoom platformi. U isto vreme, onlajn predavanje će moći da se prati i putem linka na Fejsbuk iventu (https://www.facebook.com/events/742363019682152), kao i na Fejsbuk stranici portala za kulturu jugoistočne Evrope Seecult, medijskog pokrovitelja programa (https://www.facebook.com/seecult). Predavanje će se održati uz podršku Italijanskog instituta za kulturu u Beogradu, koji će takođe prenositi predavanje putem lajv-strim platforme.
Povodom ovogodišnjeg ciklusa javnih predavanja, Biljana Ćirić, kustoskinja i organizatorka programa „Šta kustosiranje može/treba da bude“ istakla je: „Ove godine program će u saradnji sa institucijama širom sveta razmišljati i raditi na tome kako se izboriti protiv fizičke i ideološke razdvojenosti u ovim nesigurnim vremenima. S radošću najavljujemo partnerstvo sa Division of Art and Humanities Duke Kun Shan University i portalom za kulturu jugoistočne Evrope Seecult iz Beograda, među brojnim partnerima.“
U okviru predavanja, Luka Lo Pinto će govoriti o programu koji je razvio u Muzeju savremene umetnosti u Rimu – MACRO: „Pretvaram muzej u izložbu koja je zamišljena kao forma i mesto proizvodnje. Kontejner koji postaje sadržaj ima za cilj da redukuje distancu između dihotomije muzeja-glumca i publike – posmatrača“.
O inspiraciji za predavanje, Luka Lo Pinto je rekao: „Muzej je medijum koji bi konstantno trebalo da se preispituje. On više ne može da bude zamišljen samo kao mesto pukog promišljanja, nego i kao društveni prostor koji je zasnovan na slobodi eksperimentisanja i želji da se ostvare vizije umetnika. U istorijskom trenutku u kom se koncept muzeja i njegov identitet, usled socijalnih i ekonomskih promena kao i jezika same umetnosti, stalno dovode u pitanje, neophodno je eksperimentisati sa alternativnim modelima.“
Luka Lo Pinto (1981) je umetnički direktor Muzeja savremene umetnosti u Rimu – MACRO. Od 2014. do 2019. godine, radio je kao kustos u bečkom „Kunsthalle“ muzeju. Suosnivač je časopisa i izdavačke kuće „Nero“. U muzeju „Kunsthalle“, Lo Pinto je organizovao samostalne izložbe Natali di Paskije, Kamij Enro, Gelatin&Liam Gillick, Olafa Nikolaja, Pjera Bizmuta, Babete Mangolte, Šarlemanja Palestina, kao i grupne izložbe Time is thirsty; Publishing as an artistic toolbox: 1989-2017; More than just words; One, No One and One Hundred Thousand; Individual Stories i Function Follows Vision, Vision Follows Reality. Drugi njegovi kustoski projekti uključuju Io, Luca Vitone (PAC), 16th Art Quadriennale (Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rim), Le Regole del Gioco (Achille Castiglioni Studio-Museum, Milano), Trapped in the closet (Carnegie Library/FRAC Champagne Ardenne, Rems), Antigrazioso (Palais de Tokyo, Pariz); Luigi Ontani (H.C. Andersen Museum, Rim), D’après Giorgio (Giorgio de Chirico Foundation, Rim); Olaf Nicolai-Conversation Pieces (Mario Praz Museum, Rim). Njegovi tekstovi objavljivani su u sklopu mnogih kataloga i međunarodnih časopisa. On je priredio izdanje „Documenta 1955-2012. The Endless story of two lovers“. Godine 2014, objavio je publikaciju koja funkcioniše kao vremenska kapsula pod naslovom „2014“.
Međunarodni program „Šta kustosiranje može/treba da bude“ (WCSCD) pokrenut je i finansiran 2018. godine u Beogradu kao edukativna platforma koja se bavi pojmom kustosiranja. Od 2020. godine, WCSCD je počeo da inicira sopstvena kustoska istraživanja i projekte koji bi rešili tu vrstu složenosti, zadržavajući obrazovnu komponentu kao srž programa. Celokupan program i serije javnih predavanja inicirala je i organizovala kustoskinja Biljana Ćirić.
Seriju predavanja u okviru programa „Šta kustosiranje može treba da bude“ 2020/2021 realizuje se u saradnji sa Divisions of Arts and Humanities, Duke Kunshan University.
Ostali partneri na projektu su Italijanski institut za kulturu u Beogradu, Francuski institut za kulturu, Austrijski kulturni forum, Austrijska ambasada u Beogradu, Švedska ambasada u Beogradu i Gete institut. Medijski partner projekta je portal za kulturu jugoistočne Evrope Seecult.
