Sina Najafi: CABINETUL CURIOZITATILOR

Joi, 15 Octombrie, 2009, 19.00

Discutia va examina strategiile folosite in revista Cabinet pentru a  
incuraja o "cultura a curiozitatii" ce evoca, in cuvintele lui Michel  
Foucault, "o grija pentru ceea ce exista si ce ar putea exista; o  
disponibilitate de a vedea lucrurile ce ne inconjoara ca bizare si  
singulare; o neincetata determinare de a elimina familiaritatile si de  
a privi altfel aceleasi lucruri; o fervoare in a intelege ceea ce se  
intampla si ceea ce trece; o usurinta in ceea ce priveste ierarhiile  
traditionale ale importantului si ale esentialului."

Considerata una dintre cele mai interesante reviste de cultura si arta  
contemporana din lume Cabinet se afla la numarul 34. Editata la New  
York, revista este ditribuita in toata lumea si a primit numeroare  
premii.

Sina Najafi este redactor-sef al revistei Cabinet si directorul  
editorial al Cabinet Books. De asemenea, Najafi a curatoriat sau co- 
curatoriat un numar de expozitii, dintre care "Jucarii  
filozofice" (Apex Art, 2005), "Muzeul testarii proiective a  
personalitatii" (Manifesta 7, Trento, 2008), "Loturi incomplete:  
Reanalizand proprietatile false ale lui Gordon Matta-Clark" (White  
Columns si Queens Museum of Art, 2005) si expozitia itineranta  
"Spectacolul sculpturii din hartie" (2003-2007). A predat la Cooper  
Union, Yale si RISD si are diplome in literatura comparata de la  
Princeton, Columbia si NYU.

Sina Najafi: THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

October 15, 19.00 hours

The talk will looks at the strategies used in Cabinet magazine in  
order to help foster a "culture of curiosity" that evokes, in the  
words of Michel Foucault, "a care for what exists and could exist; a  
readiness to find strange and singular what surrounds us; a  
relentlessness to break up our familiarities and to regard otherwise  
the same things; a fervor to grasp what is happening and what passes;  
a casualness in regard to the traditional hierarchies of the important  
and the essential."

Sina Najafi is editor-in-chief of Cabinet magazine and the editorial  
director of Cabinet Books. Najafi has also curated or co-curated a  
number of exhibitions, including "Philosophical Toys" (Apex Art,  
2005), "The Museum of Projective Personality Testing" (Manifesta 7,  
Trento, 2008), "Odd Lots: Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark's Fake  
Estates" (White Columns and Queens Museum of Art, 2005), and the  
traveling exhibition "The Paper Sculpture Show" (2003-2007). He has  
taught at Cooper Union, Yale, and RISD, and has degrees in Comparative  
Literature from Princeton, Columbia, and NYU.
