Après avoir travaillé pendant près de trois ans avec des architectes, des ingénieurs et des biologistes, l’artiste a pu débuter la construction de cette toile monumentale suspendue à 25m au dessus de la place du musée K21 Standehaus à Dusseldorf. Les visiteurs les plus téméraires peuvent grimper sur la construction de fils d’acier s’étendant sur trois niveaux. Le filet à mailles pèse à lui seul trois tonnes et il y a une demi-douzaine de ballons gonflés en PVC posés dessus. Pas de blague, pour cette installation, l’artiste a étudié les méthodes de diverses araignées pour voir comment elles construisent leurs toiles complexes.
Gigantesque toile d’araignée suspendue au-dessus du vide, si fine qu’elle en est presque invisible. Extraordinaire hamac partagé avec des bulles de savon et des gouttes d’eau démesurées. L’impression de toucher le ciel, de baigner dans la lumière.
Celui qui rend si poétique cette idée si simple, c’est l’artiste argentin Tomás Saraceno, déjà remarqué à la biennale de Venise 2009 pour son œuvre « Galaxies forming along filaments, like droplets along the strands of a spider’s web », elle aussi toute en légèreté et en utopie. Cette fois-ci, il œuvre au-dessus de la place du pavillon K21 de la Kunstsammlung NRW de Düsseldorf, avec cette résille suspendue à 25m au-dessus du patio et faisant écho à celle de la toiture.
Cette construction métallique en acier enjambe la vaste coupole de verre du musée à trois niveaux différents. Six sphères gonflées, d’un diamètre allant jusqu’à 8,5m sont positionnées au sein de cette structure d’une surface totale de 2’500 m². Outre sa taille et sa beauté, la vraie originalité de cette installation est son accessibilité aux visiteurs qui peuvent se déplacer librement entre les sphères et passer d’un niveau de filet à l’autre en glissant à travers des trous aménagés dans la structure. Cette approche permet de découvrir le bâtiment et l’œuvre autrement tout se donnant à soi-même et aux autres visiteurs, une impression surréaliste de flotter dans les airs.
After working for nearly three years with architects, engineers and biologists, the artist was able to begin the construction of this monumental canvas suspended 25m above the K21 Standehaus museum square in Dusseldorf. The more daring visitors can climb on the construction of steel wires extending over three levels. The mesh net alone weighs three tons and there are half a dozen inflated PVC balloons on top. No kidding, for this installation the artist studied the methods of various spiders to see how they build their intricate webs.
A gigantic spider's web suspended above the void, so thin that it is almost invisible. Extraordinary shared hammock with soap bubbles and excessive water drops. The impression of touching the sky, of bathing in light.
The one who makes this simple idea so poetic is the Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno, already noticed at the 2009 Venice Biennale for his work "Galaxies forming along filaments, like droplets along the strands of a spider's web", also all in lightness and in utopia. This time, he works above the square of the K21 pavilion of the Kunstsammlung NRW in Düsseldorf, with this fishnet suspended 25m above the patio and echoing that of the roof.
This metallic steel construction spans the vast glass dome of the museum on three different levels. Six inflated spheres with a diameter of up to 8.5m are positioned within this structure with a total surface area of 2,500 m². Besides its size and beauty, the real originality of this installation is its accessibility to visitors who can move freely between the spheres and pass from one level of net to another by sliding through holes made in the structure. This approach allows you to discover the building and the work differently while giving yourself and other visitors a surreal impression of floating in the air.

"Whiteout," an art installation by Erwin Redl in Madison Square Park by the Flatiron Building in New York City. Shot with a Nikon D3s with 28-300 lens. Processed with Photoshop and On1 software.
An installation by the master, utilising the moon, the tide, a mini language of stone and water, and a living code pattern. Nothing to do with Alex McLean, a mini language (embedded in Haskel), or a related "living code pattern". I just pointed my camera at it.
I only took the photo !! I have no claim to the artwork !!

After playing some old school Starcraft, I was compelled to make a small moc featuring the installation.
Gotta watchout for those gun traps, you never know when they'll pop up from the floor.
I've also been practicing my photography lately, with the thanks to Gimp for cleaning up those small annoying glints of light as well as enhancing the color.

A contemporary history of Sicily (with an appendix story).
With the story I am posting, with words and photographs, I try to describe the truly singular figure of a contemporary "Sicilian", whom I have known personally, his name is Antonio Presti. As a young man he studied construction engineering at the University of Palermo, studies which he then abandoned due to the death of his father, the paternal construction company needed a guide, Antonio thus took on the responsibility of managing the company, but at the age of 29 years old, he perceives the urgency of having to change his life path, throwing himself body and soul into what he feels to be his vocation, art and ethics, which will be his two poles of reference from this moment on. , towards which he will always direct his choices. In memory of his father, he creates an artistic path that represents the continuity between life and death, idealizing the preservation of memory through contemporary art: this is how the sculptural park of Fiumara d 'Arte was born.
The works are carried out along a path that involves many municipalities, Antonio Presti obtains the consent of mayors and administrators, despite this he is forced to undergo a criminal trial for illegal building, from which he is acquitted after 23 years, as the Cassation recognizes " the exceptional nature of the case ", thus saving the Works from demolition. In Pettineo (one of the municipalities of "Fiumara") organizes the event "a kilometer of canvas", it is an impromptu painting event with hundreds of artists, who create their works on a very long canvas that crosses the streets of the town, therefore each single work is then cut, all of these are finally given to the inhabitants, in whose houses they are thus exhibited, becoming the "Domestic Museum" (the event gets numerous replicas in various centers of Sicily). In 1990 he bought a 40-room hotel in Castel di Tusa: each room is then furnished by an artist, the aim is that art is fully experienced with all five senses, not just with the satisfaction of the sight. In 2002 "Third eye - Meridians of Light" comes to life, a project that involves important photographers and directors from around the world who are asked to "photograph the soul of the Librino district, that is, the people" (the "Librino" is a district of outskirts of Catania). These that I have mentioned are just some of the numerous initiatives undertaken by Antonio Presti around Sicily, I could mention many others, all interesting and singular, but among these I would like to mention two of his "ideas" (also because in one of these , despite myself, I was involved); the first conception involves the hospital of Taormina, which has become, thanks to his initiative, a real "art installation" that welcomes "with amazement and admiration", before one can reach the ward, the various patients, relatives, doctors, nurses, the various figures that gravitate within a hospital, in fact the walls of the various corridors located on the various floors that lead to the wards, have been covered with gigantic canvases, on which the children of various schools and different age groups worked, to use a term very dear to Presti, leaving on them "a sign of beauty and hope"; the second initiative of Antonio Presti takes the name of "Against Exodus”, which involved seven Sicilian municipalities, whose streets were covered with giant photographic prints accompanied by the verses of San Francesco, whose goal is to focus attention on the risk of abandonment of the territory due to possible mass migration, and it is here that I mention that "appendix story" of the title, and which sees me involved. In July 2019 I participate in the photo contest "Motta Camastra, his identity" (I learn that the commission that will examine the various participating photographs will be composed of five experts, including Antonio Presti, and the famous photographic critic Giuseppe Pappalardo), in short, two of my photographs arrive first ex aequo, but my amazement is great when I see that both will be set as blow-ups (the only ones in black and white) together with the other blow-ups of "Against Exodus", placed on a large wall located at the entrance to the picturesque village of Motta Camastra. Of the photographs that I post, they were in part taken on the day "of the unveiling" of the blow-ups of the installation by Motta Camastra "Against Exodus”, guest of honor Antonio Presti, which took place on October 05, 2019; the other Gigantographies that I publish are those found in the Sicilian towns of Castiglione di Sicilia and Gaggi; the photos of the painted canvases, hung on the walls, were taken in the hospital of Taormina. I have inserted two photos of the feast of San Biagio in Motta Camastra of 03/02/2020, with the kids who throw the launch of the Saint as they pass in front of the blow-up that was made on the same occasion, only a few years earlier.

Una storia contemporanea di Sicilia (con racconto d’appendice).
Col racconto che sto postando, con parole e fotografie, tento di descrivere la figura davvero singolare di un “siciliano” contemporaneo, che ho conosciuto personalmente, il suo nome è Antonio Presti. Da giovane egli studia ingegneria edile all’Università di Palermo, studi che poi abbandona a causa della scomparsa del padre, l’azienda edile paterna ha bisogno di una guida, Antonio si carica così della responsabilità di gestire l’azienda, però all’età di 29 anni matura percepisce l’urgenza di dover cambiare percorso di vita, gettandosi anima e corpo in quella che lui sente essere la sua vocazione, l’arte e l’etica, che saranno da questo momento in poi i suoi due poli di riferimento, verso i quali indirizzerà sempre le sue scelte. In ricordo del padre, realizza un percorso artistico che rappresenti la continuità tra la vita e la morte, idealizzando la conservazione della memoria attraverso l’arte contemporanea: nasce così il Parco scultoreo di Fiumara d’Arte.
Le Opere vengono realizzate lungo un percorso che coinvolge molti comuni, Antonio Presti ottiene il consenso di sindaci ed amministratori, nonostante ciò è costretto a subire un processo penale per abusivismo edilizio, dal quale viene prosciolto dopo 23 anni, in quanto la Cassazione ne riconosce “l’eccezionalità del caso”, salvando così le Opere dalla demolizione. A Pettineo (uno dei comuni della “Fiumara”) organizza la manifestazione “un chilometro di tela”, è una manifestazione estemporanea di pittura con centinaia di artisti, che realizzano le loro opere su di una lunghissima tela che attraversa le strade del paese, quindi ogni singola opera viene poi tagliata, tutte queste infine vengono regalate agli abitanti, nelle cui case vengono così esposte, divenendo “Museo Domestico” (la manifestazione ottiene numerose repliche in vari centri della Sicilia). Nel 1990 acquista a Castel di Tusa un albergo di 40 stanze: ogni stanza viene quindi arredata da un artista, lo scopo è quello che l’arte sia vissuta appieno con tutti i cinque sensi, non solo con l’appagamento della vista. Nel 2002 prende vita “Terzocchio-Meridiani di Luce”, un progetto che vede coinvolti importanti fotografi e registi del mondo ai quali si chiede di “fotografare l’anima del quartiere Librino, cioè le persone” (il “Librino” è un quartiere della periferia di Catania). Queste che ho menzionato sono solo alcune delle numerose iniziative intraprese da Antonio Presti in giro per la Sicilia, ne potrei citare tantissime altre, tutte interessanti e singolari, ma tra queste ci tengo a menzionare due sue “ideazioni” (anche perché in una di queste, sono stato mio malgrado, coinvolto); la prima ideazione vede coinvolto l’ospedale di Taormina, il quale è diventato, grazie alla sua iniziativa, una vera e propria “installazione d’arte” che accoglie “con stupore ed ammirazione”, prima che si possa giungere in reparto, i vari pazienti, parenti, medici, infermieri, le varie figure che gravitano in seno ad un ospedale, infatti le pareti dei vari corridoi situati sui vari piani che conducono ai reparti, sono stati tappezzati con gigantesche tele, sulle quali i ragazzi di varie scuole e di diverse fasce d’età, hanno lavorato, per usare un termine molto caro a Presti, lasciando su di esse “un segno di bellezza e di speranza”; la seconda iniziativa di Antonio Presti prende il nome di “Controesodo”, che ha coinvolto sette comuni siciliani, le cui vie sono state tappezzate da giganti stampe fotografiche accompagnate dai versi di San Francesco, il cui obiettivo è focalizzare l’attenzione sul rischio dell’abbandono del territorio a causa della possibile migrazione di massa, ed è qui che accenno a quel “racconto d’appendice” del titolo, e che mi vede coinvolto. Nel luglio 2019 partecipo al concorso fotografico “Motta Camastra, la sua identità” (vengo a sapere che la commissione che esaminerà le varie fotografie partecipanti, sarà composta da cinque esperti, tra questi Antonio Presti, ed il famoso critico fotografico Giuseppe Pappalardo), in breve, due mie fotografie arrivano prime ex aequo, ma il mio stupore è grande quando vedo che entrambe verranno incastonate come gigantografie (le uniche in bianco e nero) insieme alle altre gigantografie di “Controesodo”, poste su di una grande parete situata all’ingresso del pittoresco paesino di Motta Camastra. Delle fotografie che posto, in parte sono state realizzate il giorno “della svelata” delle gigantografie dell’installazione di Motta Camastra “Controesodo”, ospite d’onore Antonio Presti, avvenuta il 05 ottobre, 2019; le altre Gigantografie che pubblico, sono quelle che si trovano nei paesi siciliani di Castiglione di Sicilia, e di Gaggi; le foto delle tele dipinte, appese alle pareti, sono state realizzate nel presidio ospedaliero di Taormina. Ho inserito due foto della festa di San Biagio di Motta Camastra del 03/02/2020, coi ragazzini che tirano la vara del Santo mentre passano davanti la gigantografia che fu fatta nella stessa occasione, solo qualche anno prima.
