Discutie / Discussion: Joi / Thursday, 25 noiembrie / November, 18.00 h
Vernisaj / Opening: 25 noiembrie / November, 19.30 h

Between September 2005 and May 2007 CÄlin Dan has been involved in a  
collaboration with the inmates from the ColibaÅi Penitentiary, within  
the frame of a project commissioned to him by the Office of the Chief  
Government Architect of the Netherlands (Atelier Rijksbouwmeester).  
The first outcome of this process was a theatre performance (in 2007)  
reflecting on the human condition of the criminals in modern Romania.  
Written and directed by the artist, the play Carne / Cane was  
performed by a group of inmates for an enthusiastic audience, at Odeon  
Theatre.

Another outcome of the same process is Wings for Dogs (2009), a video- 
essay about our perception of timeless themes such as responsibility,  
crime, destiny and punishment.
MNAC brings to the public in a brand new video installation the  
documentary material resulted from the editing of about 60 hours of  
conversations with the inmates, and the two already completed results  
of this project.

For this occasion a publication will be produced. As an opening event,  
a round table discussion about how public art commissions can handle  
sensitive social topics will be organised. The invited guests are:  
Jean Boumans (Huis voor de Kunsten Limburg; ex-curator of Atelier  
Rijsbouwmeester and coordinator of the project), Mariana  
Celac(architect and essayist), Dana Cenusa (The National  
Administration of the Penitentiaries), Arno van Roosmalen (Director,  
Stroom, Den Haag), Bruno Stefan(sociologist, author of The Romanian  
Penitentiary Environment).
