Comme promoteur culturel, il est primordial de regarder la culture - dans toutes ses manifestations - comme une des activités humaines les plus essentielles pour la survie et le développement de la société, aux côtés de la nourriture, du logement et des vêtements.
Pourtant, il ne suffit pas de travailler dans la culture pour être un bon promoteur culturel, et il faut que la culture fasse partie intégrante de la vie de celui-ci sous une forme ou une autre, que ce soit dans les sphères de la musique, du cinéma, de la littérature, des arts plastiques, etc.
Parmi les atouts essentiels pour tenir un tel poste, il est donc impératif de posséder une culture générale très étendue.
Bien sûr, il est tout à fait possible de se concentrer sur un unique domaine, comme la danse, la peinture ou le thêâtre p.ex. et d'avoir une maîtrise parfaite de ce sujet mais une connaissance généraliste est préférable dans la mesure où les visiteurs d'un site culturel, touristique ou artistique ont des profils et centres d'intérêts variés. Cela n'empêche bien sûr pas le promoteur d'avoir une connaissance plus approfondie dans un domaine spécifique, mais diversifier ses connaissances reste néanmoins souhaitable.
L'ambition d'un promoteur de culture n'est pas seulement de transmettre sa passion et ses connaissances à autrui sur le lieu où il est en poste mais aussi d'élargir les horizons des visiteurs afin de les aider à découvrir et comprendre l'importance de la culture dans la société, d'un contexte local à des enjeux globaux.
La vision globale qui transperce des frontières locales, régionales et nationales ne doit pas mener la personne à regarder certaines manifestations culturelles de haut en dédaignant certaines expressions de la culture et à priori les classer comme "moins qualitatives" au vu de leur position sur l'échelle culturelle supposée dans une société.
Dans un monde dans lequel la culture, depuis des décennies, est devenue un "divertissement" que l'on devrait simplement consommer, il est vital de souligner que les liens les plus forts et profonds entre les être humains, se créent via une connaissance et une compréhension de "l'autre" par ses expressions socio-culturelles.
Pour réussir à transmettre cette compréhension de la culture, un médiateur culturel doit avoir une personnalité extravertie, se montrer enthousiaste, éloquent et aimer le contact avec le public. En outre, l'animateur culturel devrait maîtriser plusieurs langues, un avantage plus important que jamais.
Si les critères ci-dessus correspondent à votre conception des qualités essentielles chez un promoteur de culture et que vous voulez recruter une telle personne, je suis peut-être la personne que vous cherchez. Pour le savoir, ajoutez-moi à votre réseau sur LinkedIn et envoyez-moi un message pour convenir d'un entretien.

Le Musée des Racines/The Museum of the Roots
Français (English below):
Depuis aujourd’hui, j'ai commencé à travailler au Musée des Racines, dans la commune de Thevet Saint-Julien.
Je suis responsable pour le musée avec l'exposition permanente mais aussi pour les visites guidées à l'église et les expositions temporaires avec, par exemple, des peintres, des sculpteurs et des photographes.
Le Musée des Racines est ouvert depuis 2000.
On y trouve différentes scultpures représentant des animaux existants, mythiques ou fantastiques. Parmi les animaux disons connus, nous pouvons trouver un sanglier, des hippocampes, des girafes et des escargots. Toutes les 320 sculptures sont la création de l'abbé Aymon (André Aymon), curé de la paroisse de 1941 à 1987. Pendant deux ans il a collectionné arbres, tiges et autres 'matériaux' végétaux pour les sculpter selon son imagination. Le résultat est impressionant et vous pouvez participer en devinant ce que certaines sculptures représentent.
Outre cette exposition fixe, nous allons montrer des expositions temporaires avec des peintres, des sculpteurs, des photographes etc...

Le Musée des Racines (The Museum of the Roots) opened in 2000. In the museum one find different sculptures depicting existing, mythic or imaginary animals. Among the so called 'known' animals we can find wild boar, hippocampus, giraffes and snails (escargots). All the 320 sculptures are the work of abbé Aymon (André Aymon), vicar in the parish between 1941 à 1987. During two years he gathered trees, tree limbs and other plant 'material' in order to sculpt them according to his own imagination. The result is impressing and you can participate by trying to guess what some sculptures actually represent.
Besides this permanent exhibition we are also going to display temporary exhibitions with painters, sculptors, photographers etc...
Welcome!

I found these pictures on FB if I remember right.
They are - I think - very beautiful, dreamlike photos, combining an almost chirurgical approach with a very innocent and austere and at the same time, sensual depiction of the body, combined with a surrealistic execution.
Somewhat reminding me of renaissance paintings with a 'medieval frankness'.

Nuclear tests 1945-1998
Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen.
Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

Street Art
I saw these photos of art on Facebook on a page called Street Art and I think they are quite amazing!
The participants discussed whether or not one could call art made by artists payed by the town or community street art or not or if this term should be reserved only for those amateurs that 'illegally' display their works.
This is of course an interesting question in itself but I content myself by displaying these photos:

Gunnar Bjursell by Gabriella Novak
This is the second drawing made by Gabriella Novak, depicting me. She was displeased with the first one.It's always interesting to look at portraits picturing oneself made by others and when I saw this one I said: "The wrinkles are there!" To many? No not at all, according to Aurore, who added:
"No Gabriella has actually forgotten the wrinkles on your forehead!"
I told Gabriella that she didn't have to add those wrinkles.
Gunnar Bjursell in progress by Gabriella Novak
Stylistically I find her painting reminding me somewhat of Nils Dardel and his artistry.
She keeps this and other paintings in her appartment near Paris - I think - and she told me she is going to complete it later, putting specs on my nose, among other things.
To my knowledge this is the first time anyone has made a painting of me and I wonder when I will be able to look at it at Le Louvre?!
Thank you Gabriella!

Moderna museet 50 years!
Above, the inauguration of The Museum of Modern Art in 1958
The Museum of Modern Art (Moderna museet) in Stockholm this year celebrates its fiftieth anniversary!It was founded in 1958 by - among others - Pontus Hultén, our foremost and most famous individual inspirer within the world of museums. He was also the first director for or head of the museum between 1960 and 1973.
Above: Pontus Hultén as a young man
It's not an exaggeration to say that he has been the most important person for the international reputation Moderna museet gained during these years.
Unfortunately there is an ongoing discussion within the museum whether or not they have the necessary economical means to complete the work catalogizing his collection of art, a collection donated to the museum after his death.

This is rather typical for Sweden I would say.
We here talk about a person who is the single most important individual for the creation and development of this museum and also the first director of, among other museums, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
In spite of this one discuss the necessity of completing this important work.

A person working within the museum the other day said to me:
"It's as if the present management looks upon his collection as only 'a lot of work' in a negative way".
If this had been a museum of industrial achievements in Sweden, this discussion would never have taken place. We are unfortunately a technological and technocratic country where the humanities is of very little interest, both to the 'average' Swede, and the politicians - unless it generates money to the state, of course.
I hope - but hardly believe - that this attitude will change!

Andy Warhol in Stockholm
I have already written on our joint blog, Aurore and mine, about the grand Andy Warhol-exhibition displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm (Moderna museet), starting today, the 9th of February. This is just a small reminder.
Go and look, if you can (if you are interested in the art of Warhol).
Last year the museum also arranged a rather important retrospective with works by Robert Rauschenberg. I find Rauschenberg interesting to listen to when he talks about his art or art in general, as he did via videos installed in the exhibition halls.

Otto G.Carlsund and Olle Baertling
I Stockholm kan man just nu se två stora utställningar omkring två svenska modernistiska målare:
Otto G. Carlsund på Liljevalchs konsthall där man (bl.a.) målat upp hans stora väggmålning 'Rapid' (ovan) som gjordes till Stockholmsutställningen 1930. Det är en geometrisk soluppgång pekandes mot framtiden under konkretismens banér.
På Moderna museet öppnar höstens stora utställning nämligen, 'Olle Baertling - en modern klassiker'. Baertling född 1911 var autodidakt och skapade vinklade fält - ofta i triangulär form - i olika färger.
Detta kom att bli sinnebilden för den moderna konstens abstraktion från det föreställande.
Olle Baertling
Irgur, 1958
oil on canvas, 195 x 97cm
Baertling var mycket produktiv men utställningskommissarien John Peter Nilsson har enligt uppgift varit mycket sparsmakad.
English:
In Stockholm one are able to visit two exhibitions displaying two great Swedish modernist painters:
Otto G. Carlsund at Liljevalchs art museum where they've (among other artworks exhibited) hanged his big wall painting 'Rapid', a painting he made in connection to the Stockholm exhibition in 1930. It's a geometrical sunrise pointing towards the future under the banners of concretism.

This came to be the pure idealistic symbol for the modern art and its abstraction from the depicting art.
Baertling was very productive but the curator John Peter Nilsson has according to the information I've got, been very restrictive in his choice of works by Baertling.

The Poodle
Imorgon (enligt hans hemsida) fyller den norsk-svenske konstnären Kjartan Slettermark 75 år (enligt radion idag 5/8).
Denne provokatör - som han kommit att bli betraktad som - intervjuades i radio häromdagen och berättade där att efter att i Norge (Oslo) ha uppfört ett konstverk som behandlade Vietnamkriget fann han sig tvingad att 'emigrera' till Sverige.
Detta dels efter att någon försökt förstöra hans konstverk med en yxa dels att det senare kom att bli förstört genom 'stening'.
Det främsta skälet var dock att han själv kom att bli utsatt för så pass häftig kritik från olika representanter för det norska officiella samhällsetablissemanget och allmänheten, att han inte kände att han kunde verka i Norge mer.
I Sverige kom han bl.a. att ägna sig åt undervisning men blev vid en skola avskedad eftersom han inte kunde acceptera det utvärderingssystem som användes då det gällde att bedöma elevernas kunskapsnivåer och kvaliteter som konstnärer.
Efter ett antal utställningar och performances blev han av en psykiatriker diagnosticerad 'psykiskt sjuk' med borderline-karaktäristiska drag. Han fick Hibernal (starkt psykofarmaka) utskrivet men vägrade ta det. Läkarna ville t.o.m. lägga in honom på en psykiatrisk avdelning för vård.
Efter detta begärde han 'politisk asyl' på Moderna museet.
Hans första uppmärksammade 'Pudelföreställning' skedde på Liljevalchs vårutställning 1975.
Numera finns ju denna pudeldräkt att se i Moderna museets permanenta utställningar.
Ett händelsrikt liv med många strider och motgångar men även succéer i olika konstnärliga sammanhang. Se mer om honom via länken vid hans namn ovan som leder direkt till hemsidan.
The Norwegian-Swedish artist Kjartan Slettermark tomorrow (according to his homepage) celebrates his 75th birthday (today according to Swedish radio).
This provocateur (as he has been regarded) was interviewed in Swedish radio the other day and he told the reporter that after the work about the Vietnam war, a work displayed in Oslo, Norway, he found himself forced to 'emigrate' to Sweden.
This partly because someone had tried to destroy it with an axe, partly because someone succeeded in destroying it by throwing stones at it. The prime reason though was that he became heavily criticized by the official Norway as well as by the general public and this made him unable to continue to work in his native country.
In Sweden he taught art but was dismissed because he refused using the evaluation system the school had initiated in order to assess the standard of attainment and the quality of the works of the students.
After a series of exhibitions and performances in Sweden he became diagnosed as 'mentally ill' with borderline charasteristics by a psychiatrist. He was prescribed Hibernal (a strong psychotropic drug) but refused to take it. The doctors even wanted to take him in to hospital for treatment.
After this he applied for 'political asylum' at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm (Moderna museet). He wanted to move in there.
His first 'Poodle performance' that attracted attention toke place at the Liljevalchs art gallery, Stockholm, in 1975. Nowadays one can see this poodle costume as a part of the permanent exhibition at Moderna museet in Stockholm.
He has lived an eventful life with many conflicts, setbacks but also great success in different artistic contexts.
See more about him through the link above connected to his name.

"Patterns reflecting the age"
Efter Svenska Filminstitutet tar jag mig själv till Kulturhuset efter att ha uträttat ett par ärenden. Där visas utställningen 'Mönster som speglar vår tid'.
Ett 30-tal konstnärer – målare, grafiker, fotografer, skulptörer och textilare – komponerar mönster med bildberättelser som i någon mening speglar vår verklighet idag, så som de ser det.

After the Swedish Filminstitute I visit the Cultural Center (Kulturhuset) alone and the exhibition 'Patterns reflecting the age'.
Around thirty artists - painters, graphic artists, sculptors and textile artists - have composed patterns with pictural stories that to some extent reflects our reality today as they choose to see it.
Some of the 'wall papers' where interesting but the quality and imagination varied.
