Exista un mit fascinant al omului aflat la marginea
societatii care duce o existenta psihopompa dincolo de
conventii sau conforturi burgheze. Fiecare societate 
are nevoie de acesti oameni care traiesc atat
inauntrul unei societati, cit si inafara ei (...)

Ion Birladeanu a avut o existenta de acest tip. Este
nascut in 1946 si de mai bine de treizeci de ani a
evitat sa devina un ?cetatean onorabil?. Pe vremea
comunismului a schimbat toate muncile posibile. La
douazeci de ani pleaca din satul sau natal (Zapodeni,
judetul Vaslui) si incepe sa munceasca la stuf in
Tulcea sau docher in Constanta. In Bucuresti este pe
rind gropar, taietor la gater, paznic sau muncitor
necalificat la Casa Poporului. Dupa 1989 traieste din
resurse marginale ocupindu-se ca un free lancer de
selectarea gunoiului intr-o curte de bloc de pe strada
Mosilor si face mici servicii locatarilor. Nu isi
intemeiaza o familie si nu se mai angajeaza. 

 

In toti acesti ani, Ion Birladeanu isi intretine insa
un proiect artistic pe care il arata ?doar citorva
oameni destepti?. El a facut ceea ce orice artist ar
trebui sa faca fie literal, fie metaforic: a parcurs
drumul riscant in acel no man?s land unde fiecare
societate isi leapada mastile. Groapa de gunoi este
unul dintre aceste locuri. Aproape toata informatia
culturala a unei culturi ajunge sa fie aruncata la
gunoi. E un loc bun pentru un autodidact si pentru
oricare cautator. Prin existenta lui, Ion Birladeanu a
selectat timp de mai bine de treizeci de ani imagini
din reviste si a realizat o serie de colaje unice
(...)

 

Expozitia Realpolitik prezinta o serie de colaje
politice pe care Ion Birladeanu le-a facut dupa 1989.
Colajele realizate intre 1990 si 1996 constituie o
critica cinica la adresa tuturor ?virfurilor?
politicii romanesti care au populat spatiul public
romanesc. Ceausescu are un loc aparte, politica
post-decembrista fiind si ea prezenta prin Iliescu,
Constantinescu, Funar, Petre Roman sau Adrian
Paunescu.

 

There is a fascinating myth about the man living at
the borders of society, living a life that bypasses
the conventions and comforts of the bourgeois
existence. Each open society needs those people who
are living, in the same time, inside and outside of it
(?)

Ion Bîrlãdeanu had such an existence. He was born in
1946 and for more than 30 years he refused to become
an ?honorable citizen?. During communism he had had
several jobs. In his 20s he left his native village
(Zãpodeni, in Vaslui county) to work on the reed
fields in Tulcea and then as a docker in Constanþa.
Arriving in Bucharest he worked as grave digger, as
frame saw worker, security person, or unqualified
worker at the House of the People. Starting with 1989
he lives a marginal life, working as a free-lance
selector of garbage from a block of flats on Moºilor
Street and doing little favours for the people living
there. He does not raise a family; he is not employed
to this day. 

 

But all these years, he continues his great project
that he shows only to a few ?intelligent people?. He
did what, in my opinion, metaphorically or literally,
every artist should do: take the risky road into no
man?s land where every society throws its masks away:
the dump. Throughout his existence Ion Bîrlãdeanu
selected magazine images and made a series of unique
collages (?)

 

The current exhibition presents a series of political
collages, made after 1989. Chronologically they are
the newest, made between 1990 and 1996, as a cynical
critique towards the all the ?leaders? of the Romanian
politics, that wandered around the public sphere.
Ceauºescu has a special place, but post-communism is
also represented by Iliescu, Constantinescu, Funar,
Petre Roman or Adrian Pãunescu.
