Author(s): Iva Kyurkchieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

The study presents the interactions between the amateur art atelier SedyankaTA and the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum.

Atelier SedyankaTA is an informal group who aim to preserve and pass on to younger generations the traditional techniques of bobbin lace tatting, kene needle lace, frivolite and embroidery. Such informal groups are important for the sustainability of the museum’s space as a place for communication together with its role as a public institution. The dialogue with museums’ publics changes in the function of the Ethnographic museum as a contemporary center for research and education.

Хранители и власти: охрана и реставрация имперской столицы в сталинский период

Author(s): O. Yu. Malinova-Tziafeta / Language(s): Russian Issue: 27/2019

The article analyzes the book Saving Stalin’s Imperial City: preservation Restoration in Leningrad, 1930–1950 by S. M. Maddox. The — Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2014. — XII, 284 p. Since the 1930s the architectural heritage of the former capital of the Russian Empire was actively used for ideological and mobilization purposes: — to fight fascism, to rebuild the city after the blockade, and to create the memory of the Great Patriotic War and the Blockade. The case of preserving monuments as such was first delivered only in Stalin’s time. Before the Revolution, the state did not invest in restoration, and there was no legal framework obliging owners to do so. The work of city defenders on the evacuation and preservation of historical monuments during the war is also discussed; post-war cooperation of authorities and “guardians” in the restoration of Leningrad; mobilization of the population by using the idea of complete restoration of the pre-war urban landscape; the possible fate of the monuments of Leningrad in the case of the capture of the city by the fascist troops; the establishment of official memory of the Blockade, captured in the urban landscape (monuments, memorial plaques, etc.) and the so-called “Leningrad text”; and finally, the disintegration of the alliance between creating a memory of the Blockade and the restoration of old imperial Petersburg as a result of tightening political course in the late 1940s and the start of the cold war.

The handwriting Maurizio da Castellazzo‘s dictionary is likely to be the first survived Bulgarian-Italian Dictionary of the times of the Bulgarian Revival. It was created by a Catholic missionary, probably in Rakovski area, in purpose of getting familiar with the flock of believers. The dictionary is valuable with its concrete parameters of the interlingual symmetry in sounds, letters, meanings, idiomatics, but just as important is the contemporary Bulgarian worldview, fixed in and by the words, the material and the spiritual culture of Bulgarians, and the ethno-cultural identity of the Bulgarian Catholics.

Kuratorstwo archiwum? Przypadek Themersonów

Author(s): Honorata Sroka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1 (19)/2022

The article concerns the Themerson Archive in Warsaw, which for nearly three decades was prepared for publication by art critic Jasia Reichardt. She not only sorted out these collections, but also acted as an intermediary between the artists, the Archive, and the audience. In this case, the curatorship of the archive is an effort to bring the individual parts of the collection closer to the audience by creating a narrative about the history of individual artifacts. The curator has bestowed on the materials a broad biographical context. In her article, Honorata Sroka comes up with the idea of the curatorship of archival collections. She develops a specific approach to curatorship by describing Reichardt’s exhibition methods, i.e., the latter’s strategies of presentation and presence in the Themerson Archive. Sroka moves away from the classic approaches to the theory of archives by regarding the curator’s activities not only as attempts to limit the public’s access to knowledge about the artists and the desire to guard their collections, but rather as organizational efforts aimed at formulating a coherent method for the presentation of materials. Moreover, Sroka emphasizes the fact that Reichardt’s experience as a long-time curator of art exhibitions, the author of numerous articles, and the director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London has allowed her to make a highly original contribution to the field of archival studies.
