Top 25 Quotes On Lucio Fontana

Imperfection
Concepts such as art and life have to be mixed with each other since there is no reason for keeping a distance between human activity and the human itself. Art is life (creative energy sexual) Who said that? This is the reason why the most fascinating art is one it talks about life which unravels different experiences, recounts specifics, questions, and viewpoints.

In life, it is essential to disbelieve the notion of a perfectionism that can be achieved (in response to this kind of expectation The only art we can refer to is that of the film industry). Failure is the hallmark of being Human, the stumbling block into which we have all fallen at one time or another: superficial judgement, impulsiveness, fear, anger, the incessant need for control and security bad choices. Do you think you've not made one of these errors?

Open: a new perspective from which to look
If we fall, we injure ourselves more or less and tend to look at that fall, to consider the mistake a fault because of the expectations we hold of ourselves and others. The wound is the actual point where we can see the truth, from which we stop taking refuge in the false notion of perfection (which if it were such would not be a problem) and examine the things that are damaged: we examine it and look at ourselves.

Fontana cut her hair with the consciousness the possibility of opening up, breaking or and tearing because destroying is often the most powerful artistic act, all the more so in a society where, from an early stage, we're immersed in a deeply ingrained systems of values and beliefs. It's not a coincidence that Fontana declared in 1963 during an interview Nerio Minuzzo that:

"The people who criticize me have often maligned me, but I have never worried about it, I went ahead anyway and I didn't take anyone's salute. For years they called me "the guy who has holes', with some pity even. However, today I can see that my cuts and holes have created a taste and are widely accepted. They even have practical applications. In bars and theatres they create ceilings using holes. Because today, you see the public who walk by understand the new forms. It's the artists however, who are the only ones to understand more '.

When Fontana talks about the street, he evokes the imagery of imperfection, where the hole is a shape that is similar to every other one where the transformation of life takes place. He's not scared of the dirt, nor the violence of the creative act He throws tar onto an artifact made of plaster of a man , and names it 'Black Man'.

Years later, the cut becomes the conquest of space, as an overcoming of painting and sculpture, by a new space which combines them: a break from verticality in favour of an open passageway.

This palpitation, inhaling and exhaling from the canvas, is , from afar, reminiscent in a more philosophical and bourgeois way, of the work that Gina Pane later did on her skin. The gesture remains the eternal main character in this context, where the art will eventually be destroyed; the cuts and wounds are path, boundary and exchange. The artist breaks the canvas by splitting it in two and declares its finiteness; the holes become black holes, which give an illusion of depth. They also reveal the infinite that we will never be able to comprehend.

Wait: new things we do not yet know
Fontana named the cuts "Waits," which are the gaps from which new and different things arise which we do not are aware of.

When we commit a mistake, when we end up hurting or causing harm to someone else, we have a waiting period before we react. It starts with the shock of making a mistake and the failure to be overcome, and then finding out the best path to take to make up for it or to get it out of the way; then we wait for the effects of the fracture, that mistake, which could turn out to be a new and great source. It could also be a waste of time.

Few understood (and understand) this philosophy because they constantly judge the way that human beings and reality should be, too used to the two-dimensionality of the canvas. We fight every inch of our being the right ways, the best way to present and function in the world, so so that we resort to norms that ultimately define normativity.

There is nothing more absurd than this. In our belief that we are experts and everything, we apply our standard to every other organism and ecosystem in the world however, in reality we see it from a narrow , biased viewpoint that is not in line with reality. Anthropocentrism and personal interpretations of other theories which are rarely the most accurate.

Accept that there is no perfection in the absolute sense.
The same is true of this society that wants us to be better at all costs, without reflecting on the fact that, instead of increasing standards, https://controlc.com/0cbe5e2b we need to accept more of what is, just in the present. Do we accept pain? Do we accept death? Accept the bodies of others? Do we accept diversity? Most importantly, after accepting, do we honor our diversity?

Most of the time, we resort to invisibilising those things that don't fit with the 'perfection' of our very own planet or universe. We are feel angry, shocked, and disgusted to be swept away, ignored, or covered up and we then show our imperfections, which we really are, but do not accept.

Knowing one's own limits is essential and so is understanding the interconnectedness of everything in the world system. Either we are ALL put in a position to give our best or there is no incentive or competition worth the effort to be put into it, unless for the goal of creating inequality. It's great and great that some people with a lot of effort have achieved it, just like those who have been fortunate. However, in a larger sense, constantly stretching the boundaries a little further the definition of 'a perfection' in an 'imperfect setting; there is no "perfection" in an absolute sense.

Does this even exist?

Cut Let the truth come out
It is possible to say that Fontana was a tinkerer, as right from the beginning, Fontana rejected the simple ways to be successful, opting instead to experiment with the unknown and the uncertain, that is to say, he renounced the idea of being the only one that was successful, he pursued the research path which led him to discover some facts.

For me, and my personal opinion, Fontana is the one who cuts the veil and lets the light shine through, even if he put obscuring black sails in the background. An artist of spatial art in the same way as one of the early pioneers of this art, it is not understood only as a work but as a gesture, an act, in and around it. as a result of action on space, performance as the activation of a narrative, and this is the way it is practiced in the present.

For me, his cuts reveal all of this, opening up new perspectives for art, new points of view on the world , and new questions. The wound for this, is more than pain: the wound reveals the idea of mortality, shortness, uncertainty and fragility. The wound makes us think as well as make us doubt how we can improve our lives, and this practice is vital to stay in the right place. While it can be difficult to suffer and as much as it would be in a perfect narrative of our existence, it would be great (and just) to gain knowledge only through positive reinforcements, as long we as a species are unable to avoid the suffering of others as well like our own, we are stuck in the unsolved, and unfulfilled reality.

So let's enjoy the cinema and its happy endings its beauty and perfection that is taken for granted , and that we take as a model of life since the visual arts however, are the daughters of suffering, and any artist who wants to tell a piece of truth, must traverse the pain.
