Summary:
''Comradeship'' collects 16 essays by the forward-thinking Slovenian curator, museum director and scholar Zdenka Badovinac (born 1958). Appointed director of Ljubljana's Museum of Modern Art in 1993 in the wake of Slovenian independence, Badovinac has become an influential voice in international conversations rethinking the geopolitics of art after the fall of communism. She is a ferocious critic of unequal negotiations between East and West and a leading historian of the avant-garde art that emerged in socialist and post-socialist countries at the end of the last century. One of the longest-serving and most prominent museum directors in the region, Badovinac has pioneered radical institutional forms to create a museum responsive to the complexities of the past, and commensurate with the demands of the present.

Summary:
The experience of engaging with art and history has been utterly transformed by information and communications technology in recent decades. We now have virtual, mediated access to countless heritage collections and assemblages of artworks, which we intuitively browse and navigate in a way that wasn’t possible until very recently. This collection of essays takes up the question of the cultural meaning of the information and communications technology that makes these new engagements possible, asking questions like: How should we theorize the sensory experience of art and heritage? What does information technology mean for the authority and ownership of heritage?

Summary:
Le discours sur l'art traite généralement d'œuvres, d'artistes ou de création mais délaisse un aspect essentiel de la relation esthétique : l'exposition. De fait, la question est complexe : comment aborder conjointement des éléments aussi hétérogènes que les relations entre objets, les relations de ces objets à des lieux ou à des publics ou encore les relations internes au monde de l'art qu'ils sous-tendent ? Une partie de la difficulté tient aux compréhensions contradictoires impliquées par l'exposition ; car exposer c'est à la fois produire une énonciation (un exposé) et découvrir, mettre à nu, mettre en danger. A la fois révéler - en un sens quasi photographique - et dévoiler : dénoncer et donner en exemple - rabaisser et élever. Bien que la question de l'art et de son appréciation ne se réduise évidemment pas à un ensemble de dispositifs de présentation, à des textes d'accompagnement ou de critique, à des choix de commissaires, il n'en demeure pas moins que la prise en compte des procédures d'exposition éclaire singulièrement la place de l'art dans notre monde. Des explications sur les circonstances entourant la création d'une œuvre - de même que la façon dont ces circonstances sont connues et divulguées - enrichissent sa connaissance et en modifient le sens et l'approche. De même, une réflexion sur les publics, la scénographie, l'architecture, les commentaires, les textes de présentation, permet de voir en quoi les différentes médiations orientent et réorientent en permanence le jugement sur les œuvres et notre compréhension de l'art.

Summary:
A curatorial situation is always one of hospitality. It implies invitations to artists, artworks, curators, audiences, and institutions; people and objects are received, welcomed, and temporarily brought together. It offers resources for material and physical support while also responding to a need for recognition, respect, or attention. Finally, and very importantly, a curatorial situation operates in the space between an unconditional acceptance of the other and exclusions legitimized through various rules and regulations. This publication analyzes, from the perspective of hospitality, the curatorial within the current sociopolitical context through key topics concerning immigration, conditions along borders, and accommodations for refugees. The contributions in this volume, by international curators, artists, critics, and theoreticians, deal with conditions of decontextualization and displacement, encounters between the local and the foreign, as well as the satisfaction of basic human needs.
