Chen Zhen, Field of Synergy, 2000 – Galleria Continua |
Nel 1917, a qualche migliaio di Km, il Sig. R.Mutt consegnava un orinatoio rigirato su se stesso e titolato “Fontana” ad una mostra collettiva a cui si partecipava pagando 6 dollari, per vedersela rifiutare, Modigliani dipingeva il “Nudo disteso” e De Chirico le “Muse Inquietanti.
Ma prima e dopo tanti altri hanno fondato i loro movimenti. Arriviamo, citandoli a caso al situazionismo, dadaismo, surrealismo, spectosituazionismo, kobra, neoismo, ifluxus, azionismo, il postmoderno e il futurismo, cubismo ecc. Fatene voi un elenco perfetto. Avrebbe la lunghezza dei migliori rotoli di carta igienica.
Nel contemporaneo, a parte noi (manifesto) nessuno si pone nemmeno il problema di creare un testo, un’idea che racchiuda un movimento. Pure sembra che tutti vi aderiscano.
Facendo una camminata alla Tate e guardano i quadri appesi, verrebbe da tornare strutturalisti, tanto sono le simiglianze formali tra l’uno e l’altro. Ma se guardiamo, per dire, all’arte cinese vediamo che dai 70 ci sono vari movimenti, che contrastano l’arte di regime. La concezione dell’arte di regime. Pure, se viene stabilito un contemporaneo leggibile, dai cinesi in primo luogo, non ci sono più movimenti, ma un linguaggio che ha gli stessi tratti del contemporaneo statunitense, italiano o africano.

But before and after many others founded their movements. We arrive, citing at case to Situationism, Dadaism, surrealism, spectosituazionism, Kobra, Neoism, fluxus, azionismo, postmodern and futurism, cubism etc. You can make a perfect list. It could have the length of the Best toilet rolls.
Then they regrouped, so that the Taschen could publish, between the 3d tits and Newton, many other books. Conceptual, video, painting. Art of the East or the West posters. All movements and broken up to be raped in various crestomazie*.
Yet it has always done so. For example, the Gothic was not invented by itself. He needed a thought, matured into a Manifesto. And here by mistake (excuse the shameful summary, we are blushing), between various Dionysius. Our, Syrian, was in the center of the culture of the Middle Ages, when it was difficult to tell the difference between real and symbolic, between self and community. He took the neo-Platonism and made manifest that the light ascends to God, purity stay on high. So Saint Denis was rebuilt.
No coincidence that the Romanic, who was investigating better the bowels and earth, in Europe was spread without encountering the resistance of the Gothic. This looking only in Europe and ignoring , not to stretch our lists, at the forms of art in the rest of world.
The personality impose herself in a society that denies the personal nature of social relations, he says Gurevich “The categories of the medieval culture”. That is in the transition between the Middle Ages in which communities, corporations and the social relations were organized in vertical mode for obedience and in horizontal for equality to the modernity.
In the contemporary, anyone but us (manifesto) not arise the problem of creating a text, an idea that encompasses a movement. Yet it seems that everyone adhere.
Taking a walk to Tate and watching the hanging paintings, one might return structuralists, so many are the formal similarities between the one and the other. But if we look at, say, Chinese art we see that there are from 70’s different movements that contrast the art of regime.
