Tomislav Sladojević Šola

Tomislav Sladojević Šola was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1948. Until 2013 he was a Professor at the University of Zagreb in the Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty. He studied Art History and English in Zagreb, and also studied Museology in both Zagreb and Paris. Šola has practical experience as a curator, director, editor, lecturer, consultant, and has also worked at several different international organisations in relation to his areas of expertise. After seven years of curatorship and another seven as a director of Museum Documentation Centre, Šola started his academic career. His main interests is the practice of heritage and especially its theory, for which he coined the terms “Heritology“and, later on, “Mnemosophy”.

He has attempted to highlight the integrity of heritage and the need for a strong, wide profession in the domain of public memory. The notion of Cybernetics as the core value of the theory as well as the practice of heritage is the proposal in many of his written texts. Though ample and diverse, much of his writings are on theory and marketing, on critique of museum practices and, increasingly examining the art of heritage communication and public memory. He has published several books on these issues. Throughout his career he has kept constant contact with the international community through his consultancies and participation in professional evaluation bodies.

Career

After completing his degree in the History of Art at the University of Zagreb, where he also studied journalism and museology at postgraduate level, he started his museum career as a curator at what is today the Contemporary Art Museum in Zagreb.

While studying under Georges Henri Rivière at the Sorbonne in the late ’70, he worked in the International Council of Museums (ICOM) Documentation centre, and later became the director of the Museum Documentation Centre of Yugoslavia as well as editor-in-chief of the magazine "Informatica Museologica". In 1985 he received a Ph.D. in museology at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His dissertation was entitled: "Towards the Total Museum".[6] By 2012 it had been translated into Serbian and the original version was published by the Faculty of Philosophy in the University of Belgrade.

He has currently published nine books, written chapters for ten international academic books, as well as two Croatian books, and has had more than 200 articles published. His most influential books include: Essays on Museums and Their Theory - Towards The Cybernetic Museum (Helsinki, 1997); Marketing in Museums or About Virtue And How To Make It Known (Zagreb, 2001), Towards the Total Museum (Belgrade, 2011), Eternity Does Not Live Here Anymore (Zagreb, 2012) and Eternidade no ya vive aqui (Girona, Spain, 2012).

Šola has been honoured with several important positions within the international museum profession. These included the chairmanship of the National Committee of ICOM (where he organised three major ICOM conferences - ICOFOM, ICTOP and, with assistance, CIMAM), a seat on the Executive Council of ICOM, and board membership with ICOFOM/ICOM (International Committee of Museology). Until 2001 he was member of the jury of the European Museum of the Year Award (EMF/Council of Europe). Presently he is a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of "Museum International" (UNESCO), as well as a member of "Museum Practice" (Museums Association, UK) and the International Journal of Heritage Studies (UK).

He served as a member of the Advisory Board of the Association of Peace Museums, and was a member of the Steering Committee of MA, UK, which was established for the future of collecting. Until 2012, Šola served two terms as Chairman of the Association for Cultural Tourism at the Croatian Chamber of Commerce. Currently, he is a member of the scientific committee at Institut del Patrimoni Cultural (Girona, Spain).

In 1987 Prof. Sola founded creative cooperative for cultural engineering "Synthesis"- with architect Zeljko Kovacic and designer Zeljko Borcic and later on in 1991 a company "Synthesis International d.o.o." for consultancies in heritage. Prof. Šola is also the founder of the NGO European Heritage Association, and in 2002 of "The Best in Heritage - Projects of Influence", the world’s only conference on awarded projects in museums, heritage and conservation, held annually in Dubrovnik. He also founded "The Best in Heritage Excellence Club" at “Exponatec”, Koelnmesse, Cologne.

Šola was awarded the International Concourse for the permanent post of senior curator in the National Museum of Denmark in 1999. This post involved handling internal assessment as well as training and organizing international events in the museum. As a consultant, he has worked on 12 national and international projects in countries including Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, Serbia, England and Montenegro. He also elaborated approximately a dozen others. These included The Best in Heritage, Global Love Museum and The Bridges of Europe, which are still ongoing. He initiated and spent three years managing an International Summer School for Heritage Studies in Jyvaskyla, Finland. Šola regularly taught in Barcelona at Escuela Europea del Patrimonio and also in Finland; where he was a guest lecturer at the University of Ljubljana. He was also a guest lecturer at the University of Dubrovnik in Croatia, the University of Sarajevo in Bosnia, and in the Faculty of Philosophy in the University of Belgrade. In total, as an invited lecturer and conference speaker, he has lectured internationally for approximately 300 hours.

In 1982 professor Šola proposes the phrase "Heritology" to describe the convergence of museum and heritage related professions into one mega-profession in spe and its associated scientific discipline.[9] In 1989 he developed this concept further and, addressing issues of public memory institutions and processes, proposed the term "Mnemosophy" which he describes as "Cybernetic philosophy of heritage", a sort of „general theory of heritage...which includes at least five informational sciences: librarianship, archivistics, ,museography, encyclopedisctics and documentalistic.".[10][11] Institutions and studies in Ljubljana, Jyvaskyla and Belgrade are using these neologisms as their title and teaching.

At the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, Professor Šola has been the head the postgraduate study of Museology, as well as the head of the Chair of Museology and Heritage Management, and Head of Department of Information Sciences. In the last years of his university career he was teaching several subjects (Heritage institutions, General Theory of Heritage, Heritage Management, Heritage Marketing, Heritage and Development, Heritage Tourism). During his university career he was a guest lecturer at Art University in Belgrade, at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, University of Warwick in England, European University in Budapest and some other universities (Barcelona, Jyvaskyla, Tartu, Varanasi, Umea, Brno, Granada...) sometimes with a single lecture at other times more or even regularly during some years. He was Chairman of the EU/Europa Nostra Award in the category of Education, Training and Awareness-Raising and was until 2018 a Council member of Europa Nostra.

***

After 2015, and the book “Mnemosophy, an essay on the science of public memory”(published also in Russian) this CV page will not be supplemented with detailed information upon my career. Since then, I have kept lecturing internationally (Spain, Latvia, Russia, Portugal, Serbia, China, Norway, Slovenia) and attending to the international obligations of the Best in Heritage Conference (presentations/lectures in Germany, China). I have also done occasional consultancies (Spain, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Slovenia).

The world changed and not for the better, - making public memory institutions both more important in society and more endangered in their mission. It comes naturally that seniors contribute less. I take part in some on-line events or write occasional texts, as ever, also published on the Internet (academia.edu/TomislavSola). I have continued with experimental projects while some remain as wishes or get even deeper archived.

My next book(s) will be shorter, written again originally in Globish (as, alas, this entire site is). If published by EHA it will again be in a limited edition of numbered and signed copies; I never contact great publishers whose rightful requirements, I would have difficulties to meet. Being my starting academic discipline, the history of art (as the way of understanding creativity) is likely to become, in many ways, the concluding one as well.

Since the last regular entries in my CV, I have done some consultative jobs (the biggest was the re-conceptualisation of the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade), and an exhibition of Global Love Museum (also in Belgrade) etc. I have occasionally added to mnemosophy.com, to independent.academia.edu and a column in Croatian at autograf.hr.

Among the lectures, only those delivered in China, in September 2023, at Shanghai University and Ninth Nishan Forum of World Civilizations in Qufu, - are worth mentioning.

The Best in Heritage Conference is a simple and noble project unifying the heritage sector and building a common profession. It will survive its present digital version after being harmed by COVID-19 and changing local circumstances by remaining global, unique and by regaining its in-person format.
