De la mijlocul secolului al XX-lea, Suedia a cunoscut o rapida dezvoltare industriala care a contribuit la o economie stabila. Tara a adoptat modelul suedez fapt ce a transformat Suedia intr-un stat cultural,
social si economic al ajutorului social. Aceasta a fost si perioada in care imigratia a crescut in Suedia datorita nevoii de munca a industriilor suedeze. Suedia nu a mai trecut printr-un razboi de secole. In
general, suedezilor le displace disputa si prefera sa ajunga la un consens prin discutii. Oamenii vorbesc rar despre ideologia lor politica.
Aceste idei generale despre peisajul politic suedez, impreuna cu lipsa conflictelor si a nelinistii politice pot face politica un subiect mai putin frecvent pentru artistii suedezi. Astazi, in Suedia, poti gasi mai multi artisti care lucreaza asupra efectelor pe care angajarea politica o are asupra vietii personale la nivel psihologic, decat artisti care lucreaza cu puncte de vedere politice, iar artistii pot gasi interesant lucrul cu fenomene politice sau sociologice in strainatate.

Catrin Lundqvist este curator la Moderna Museet in Stockholm si curator independent cu propria sa companie Domestic Art. 
La Moderna Museet, lucreaza momentan cu film, video si performance, si organizeaza dezbateri si seminarii despre arta contemporana.

100 Minute Suedeze va fi proiectat si in data de 7 decembrie 2009, 19.00, la Cluj, Universitatea de Arta, Casa Matei Corvin.

100 MINUTE este un proiect initiat de Razvan Ion & Eugen Radescu.

100 SWEDISH MINUTES
SCREENING followed by a Q&A session with Catrin Lundqvist

From the middle of 20th century, Sweden had rapid industrial growth which has contributed to a stable economy. The country adopted the Swedish model that turned Sweden into social, cultural and economical well fare state. This was also the period when immigration increased in Sweden due to the need of labor in Swedish industries.
Sweden did not experience any war for many centuries. Generally Swedish people do not like disputing too much, in stead they prefer coming to consensus based on discussion. People rarely talk about
their political ideologies.
These general ideas about the Swedish political landscape, together with the lack of conflicts and political unrest might make politics, a less frequent subject to Swedish artists. In Sweden today you might find more artists working on how political engagement affects personal life on a psychological level rather than working on political standpoints or artists may find interest in working with political or sociological phenomena abroad.

Catrin Lundqvist is a curator of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and a free-lance curator with her own company Domestic Art. At the Moderna Museet, she is currently working with film, video, and performance-based art, and organising debates and seminars on contemporary art. 

100 Swedish Minutes will be screened on December 7, in Cluj, University of Art, Casa Matei Corvin.

100 MINUTES is a long term project initiated by Razvan Ion & Eugen Radescu.
