Sarah Thornton the British Canadian writer and sociologist of culture, writing principally about art, artists and the art market, has detailed a list of the top ten reasons from potentially ‘hundreds’ of reasons for her decision to quit the art market beat. Blouin Artinfo has reprinted two of the reasons, being (A) It enables manipulators to publicize the artists whose prices they spike at auction. Tightknit cabals of dealers and speculative collectors count on the fact that you will report record prices without being able to reveal the collusion behind how they were achieved. …It’s a shame when good artists’ careers are made volatile by speculation. And (B) Oligarchs and dictators are not cool. I have no problem with rich people. (Some of my best friends are high net worth individuals!) But amongst the biggest spenders in the art market right now are people who have made their money in non-democracies with horrendous human rights records. Their expertise in rising to the top of a corrupt system gives punch to the term “filthy lucre.” However, the astronomical prices paid by these guys do have a positive trickle-down effect. When they buy a Gerhard Richter for $20m, the consignor of the painting will likely re-invest some of their profit in younger art (particularly if they are American and keen to defer capital gains tax). These Russian, Arab and Chinese collectors bring liquidity to the art world and allow more artists, curators and critics to make a living in relation to art.” Inspired by Blouin ArtInfo ow.ly/fKgvH image source ow.ly/fKgrd

Peter Bowen, writer of the wonderful Gabriel DuPre mystery series, visited my house for the first time in 25 years. It was great to see him.

 

He went back to Montana and said it might be another 25 years before he came east again.

Ordine Classico

2009

 

Nella serie Ordine Classico, Luca Zanta utilizza una tecnica che sfrutta la fotografia come elemento fondativo; la ambienta e la trasforma in uno spazio tridimensionale, inquadrando all’interno di esso dei punti, da cui generare nuove immagini.

La sua attenzione è rivolta alla ricerca dell’armonia delle proporzioni alla densità della materia scandita dalla presenza di pieni e vuoti, tutto questo avviene nello spazio urbano, spunto interessante per l’artista.

In Ordine Classico le opere vertono su un soggetto in particolare, la tag (firma) un fenomeno underground molto diffuso. La tag non è mai improvvisata, vi è dietro un esercizio costante che in un secondo momento permette l’immediatezza e la spontaneità del gesto nella continuità del ritmo, è il modo in cui la parola è scritta, non il suo significato, che esprime l’intensità e l’energia di chi ne ha tracciato il segno.

Zanta si accorge della comunicazione che avviene tra lui che osserva e il segno ormai fisso ma ancora vibrante della tag.

Una comunicazione che permette in un istante di entrare in una dimensione senza tempo fatta di attimi infiniti.

In Ordine Classico l’artista porta questo processo ad un’estremizzazione, ad un’espansione alla quadra.

Ne crea un magma, capace di sprofondare improvvisamente in un solo punto e altre volte di spingersi verso l’emersione quasi a voler oltrepassare la bidimensionalità.

Un movimento danzante e coinvolgente.

Le tag nuotano nelle sue opere, l’una accanto all’altra a volte strisciandosi o sorreggendosi altre si uniscono in un solo segno.

La cosa sorprendente è che nell’asimmetria e nello sbilanciamento dei caratteri vi è comunque la presenza di una struttura stabile che lega ogni elemento e ne costituisce l’armonia d’insieme.

Gorgeous paper, pen poised, and then I realize that I have writer's block. So the pen lies flat and I stare at it.
