OPEN18 Dedicato a Lorenzo Buono “Lascia Che Ti Spieghi Un Paio Di Cose OPEN18 Dedicato a Lorenzo Buono “Lascia che ti spieghi un paio di cose. Il tempo è poco. Questa è la prima cosa. Per l’astuto, il tempo è astuto. Per l’eroe, il tempo è eroico. Per la puttana, il tempo è solo un altro trucco. Se sei gentile, il tuo tempo è gentile. Sei hai fretta, il tempo vola. Il tempo è un servitore, se tu ne sei il padrone. Il tempo è il tuo dio, se tu sei il suo cane. Noi siamo i creatori del tempo, le vittime del tempo, e gli assassini del tempo. Il tempo è senza tempo. Questa è la seconda cosa. Tu sei l’orologio, Cassiel.” Così vicino, così lontano!, Wim Wenders. “Let me explain a couple of things. Time is short. That’s the frst thing. For the weasel, Time is a weasel. For the hero, Time is heroic. For the whore, Time is just another trick. If you’re gentle, your Time is gentle. If you’re in a hurry, Time fies. Time is a servant, if you are its master. Time is your god, if you are its dog. We are the creators of Time, the victims of Time, and the killers of Time. Time is timeless. That’s the second thing. You are the clock, Cassiel.” Faraway, So Close!, Wim Wenders.

Puntuale e carico come sempre. Una tradizione che prosegue, soprattutto nel rinnovamento: molti avranno già visto il lancio del nuovo sito internazionale che va ad aggiungersi al sito italiano. Da Exibart.com parte anche una nuova rubrica: INCHIESTA, le inchieste sull’arte. Siamo ormai consapevoli che l’iperinformazione ha l’unico effetto di stordire e produrre l’effetto inverso, quello della deinformazione e dell’ipertrofia da notizia. Mi diceva, con qualche rammarico, il compianto Dennis Oppenheim che la differenza sostanziale tra la scena dell’arte degli anni sessanta e settanta e quella odierna, è che oggi “siamo sotto tiro” da un numero di pallottole sparate a caso: le mostre. Noi siamo per la critica, per l’informazione critica, quindi la nuova rubrica nata proprio per il sito e quindi per essere continuamente aggiornata, sarà il terreno friabile con cui c’immergeremo nel “candido” mondo dell’arte, in tutte le sue sfumature, per assorbirne umori e sapori. Questo numero di Exibart.onpaper parte dalla Stazione Centrale del panorama internazionale: la Biennale di Venezia, il vero Gotha dell’arte. Alla Biennale è debitamente riservato il nucleo centrale della rivista con riflessioni sulla curatrice, le questioni scomode sulla Biennale di Sgarbi colte direttamente dalla voce dello stesso, i padiglioni storici, i nuovi padiglioni, gli eventi collaterali, lo speciale sugli artisti italiani di Ivan Fassio, e le interviste a due generazioni diverse di artisti: Yan Jiechang a Vettor Pisani cui si aggiungono le opinioni di due curatori d’eccezione: Massimiliano Gioni, il nome più adatto per una prossima biennale a firma italiana, e Hou Hanru, già curatore del Padiglione Cinese della 52sima edizione della Biennale.

  • Giulio Paolini QUI DOVE SONO (HERE WHERE I
    Giulio Paolini QUI DOVE SONO (HERE WHERE I AM) Galleria Christian Stein Corso Monforte 23, Milan September 30, 2020-January 16, 2021 The Galleria Christian Stein presents a solo exhibition by Giulio Paolini (Genoa, 1940) entitled Qui dove sono (Here Where I Am), a reference to a work in the show and a homage to the Galleria Christian Stein, where Paolini exhibited for the first time over fifty years ago, in 1967, at the branch in Turin, and has continued to do so regularly throughout his career, most recently in 2016. The exhibition at the gallery on Corso Monforte is made up of five works, three of which were created expressly for the occasion. Sculpture and photography, suitably elaborated in Paolini’s language, tell a story that turns around myth, classical antiquity and history; the images on display are shrouded in an absolute dimension of time, remote from the realities of the present day. In the work located at the center of the room, In volo (Icaro e Ganimede) (In Flight [Icarus and Ganymede], 2019-20), the plaster cast of Ganymede, copy of a marble sculpture by Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71), stands on a high base. The youth is holding two wings made of gilded cardboard to evoke his flight to Olympus. In fact the myth of Ganymede is founded on the beauty of the young man, to whom Zeus, king of the gods, takes a fancy, abducting him in the form of an eagle and carrying him off to Olympus to be his lover. On the ground a square sheet of transparent material offers glimpses of fragments of a photographic image of the sky together with a reproduction of the figure of Icarus from the picture Daedalus and Icarus (1799) by the French painter Charles Paul Landon (1761-1826).

  • Fondazione Prada Presents “Jannis Kounellis,” an Exhibition Curated by Germano Celant, from 11 May to 24 November 2019 in Venice
    FONDAZIONE PRADA PRESENTS “JANNIS KOUNELLIS,” AN EXHIBITION CURATED BY GERMANO CELANT, FROM 11 MAY TO 24 NOVEMBER 2019 IN VENICE Venice, 15 March 2019 – Fondazione Prada presents “Jannis Kounellis,” curated by Germano Celant, the major retrospective dedicated to the artist following his death in 2017. The exhibition runs from 11 May to 24 November 2019 (press preview taking place on Wednesday 8 May) at the historic palazzo of Ca’ Corner della Regina, Fondazione Prada’s Venetian venue. Developed in collaboration with Archivio Kounellis, the project brings together 70 works from 1958 to 2016, from both Italian and international art institutions and museums, including Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou - Musée national d’art moderne (Paris), Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum (Rotterdam), Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) and Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Turin), as well as from important private collections both in Italy and abroad. The show explores the artistic and exhibition history of Jannis Kounellis (Piraeus 1936 – Rome 2017), highlighting key moments in the evolution of his visual poetics and establishing a dialogue between his works and the eighteenth-century spaces of Ca’ Corner della Regina. The artist’s early works, originally exhibited between 1960 and 1966, are presented in two spaces on the first floor of the Venetian palazzo and deal with urban language. In an early phase, these paintings reproduce actual writings and signs from the streets of Rome. Later on, the artist transferred black letters, arrows and numbers onto white canvases, paper or other surfaces, in a language deconstruction that expresses a fragmentation of the real. From 1964 onward, Kounellis addressed subjects taken from nature, from sunsets to roses— these latter represented on canvases using automatic buttons.

  • Press Luciano Fabro Frieze, April 1, 2008
    MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY Luciano Fabro By Andrew Bonacina (April 1, 2008) The word ‘Ricomincerò!’ (I will start again) was poignantly inscribed at the entrance to ‘Luciano Fabro: Didactica magna, Minima moralia’. Punctuating the end of an energetic, manifesto-like statement by the artist railing against the ‘reduction of the work to the status of an advertising gimmick’, this personal call to arms could not help but be read as Fabro’s unintentional last will and testament in the wake of his death in June 2007, during preparations for the exhibition. These potent last words revealed an undiminished ethical stance toward the value of a work of art: a stance that fuelled the artist’s creation of a remarkable oeuvre spanning almost six decades. Inevitably, Fabro’s untimely death burdened this exhibition with expectations of a broad and exhaustive survey, yet his adamant desire to focus solely on early works produced between 1963 and 1968 was fully acknowledged by curators Rudi Fuchs, Eduardo Cicelyn and Silvia Fabro, the artist’s daughter, who realized this coolly austere exhibition according to Fabro’s detailed notes and plans. The exhibition’s cut-off date somewhat pointedly marked the moment Fabro became associated with the Arte Povera movement, which reflected a period of intense social and political change in Italy, characterized by strong anti-war sentiment, scepticism of new technology and a growing hatred of the rampant ‘Americanization’ of culture. Arte Povera embodied an art of protest, an art which, wrote Germano Celant in Arte Povera in 1967, consisted in ‘taking away, eliminating, downgrading things to a minimum, impoverishing signs to reduce them to archetypes’.

  • The Politics of Arte Povera
    Living Spaces: the Politics of Arte Povera Against a background of new modernities emerging as alternatives to centres of tradition in the Italy of the so-called “economic miracle”, a group formed around the critic Germano Celant (1940) that encapsulated the poetry of arte povera. The chosen name (“poor art”) makes sense in the Italy of 1967, which in a few decades had gone from a development so slow it approached underdevelopment to becoming one of the economic dri- ving forces of Europe. This period saw a number of approaches, both nostalgic and ideological, towards the po- pular, archaic and timeless world associated with the sub-proletariat in the South by, among others, the writer Carlo Levi (1902-1975) and the poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975). the numbers relate to the workers who join a mensa operaia (workers’ table), a place as much to do with alienation as unionist conspiracy. Arte povera has been seen as “a meeting point between returning and progressing, between memory and anti- cipation”, a dynamic that can be clearly understood given the ambiguity of Italy, caught between the weight of a legendary past and the alienation of industrial develo- pment; between history and the future. New acquisitions Alighiero Boetti. Uno, Nove, Sette, Nove, 1979 It was an intellectual setting in which the povera artists embarked on an anti-modern ap- proach to the arts, criticising technology and industrialization, and opposed to minimalism. Michelangelo Pistoletto. It was no coincidence that most of the movement’s members came from cities within the Le trombe del Guidizio, 1968 so-called industrial triangle: Luciano Fabro (1936-2007), Michelangelo Pistoletto (1933) and Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994) from Turin; Mario Merz (1925-2003) from Milan; Giu- lio Paolini (1940) from Genoa.

  • A Nomad in the City Germano Celant
    A Nomad in the City Germano Celant When Charles Simonds embarked on his artistic career between 1969 and 1971, he oper- ated in a setting that lay outside the traditional bounds of art: the street. He immediately sought to make his interventions burst from a context experienced and shared by others, by people outside of the world of art. His intention was to create art everywhere, in all kinds of settings. Ever since his first interventions in the streets of New York (1972, facing page and top right), he has managed to avoid the distortions of the pristine and aseptic space of the gallery or museum, creating works that have blended into the landscape of the city—a setting where the public is not inveigled by the communicative power of the sacred place, which makes the artistic object a separate entity; where instead the work is immersed in the chaos of life; and where the poetic and visual impulse is entrusted to its autonomous power of persuasion, without any defense. Urban space, with all of its communicative characteris- tics, is taken on for its centripetal force, prior to any artistic intervention. Simonds chose the urban landscape for its tension and its secret power, which is not the repetitive power of the “white cube,” but one of drama and tragedy, of magic and singularity. His choice, which he shared with artists such as Gordon Matta-Clark (bottom right), questioned the abstract and ideal dimensions of minimal art.1 His aim was to reject the environmental homogenization of the intervention and to enter the reality of the urban and architectural configuration, thus introducing the notions of hazard, risk, and chance and plunging into real life.
