    Sculpture May, 2011 Lee Bul: Phantasmic Morphologies Michael Amy Who we are is determined to a considerable extent by what we are. The what includes our origins in time and place, gender, race, social status, sexual orientation, education, and political and religious convictions. Once we have this information, we believe that we know enough about a person to be able to classify and judge him or her. We have a tendency to embrace stereotypical thinking The South Korean artist Lee Bul moves away from what we know - or what we think we know. Her work examines how the mind functions by exploring some of its dreams, ideals, and utopias. Interviews with Lee over the years have shown her to be a highly sophisticated and articulate thinker, with a wide range of interests in the history of ideas. The cultures of both East and West, and science and technology. Her work argues that everything is in a state of flux, that many of the notions we accept as laws are often the product of bias and can-therefore-be corrected, and that the imagination constitutes an all-conquering power. Surrealism is an important source for Lee's ideas and images. She understands imagination's ties to cognition and knows from firsthand experience how it can free one from physical and ideological bonds, thus becoming of critical importance to survival. Lee was born in 1964 in a remote village In South Korea during the military dictatorship of Park Chung-Hee. Her political dissident parents were almost constantly on the move, which she says, "taught me certain strategies of survival.

  • La Pittura Come Forma Radicale Painting As a Radical Form
    La pittura come forma radicale Painting as a Radical Form 1995 - 2007 Matthew Antezzo Nato a / Born in Connecticut (USA), 1962 Vive e lavora a / Lives and work in Berlin Il lavoro di Matthew Antezzo consiste principalmente nel recupero, e nella sostanziale rielaborazione pittorica di immagini della tradizione occidentale; “icone” cercate, trovate, e carpite in differenti fonti: spesso sono illustrazioni pubblicate su quotidiani o riviste, libri di storia dell’arte o di cinema, fotografie e più recentemente anche in internet. Le immagini scelte sono spesso quelle di personalità celebri (come quelle di artisti concettuali immortalati in occasione di mostre di portata storica o ritratti di importanti protagonisti del mondo della ricerca scientifica e culturale) nonchè fotogrammi di film conosciuti. Antezzo scegliendo e ri-dipingendo queste immagini, rimanda alla sua memoria culturale, nonchè visiva, creando il suo cosmo personale tra pittura e riflessione concettuale, mettendo in gioco il suo stesso ruolo d’artista tra legittimazione e autonomia. Utilizzando, e reiterando, immagini pubblicate allude al potere di suggestione della comunicazione contemporanea, estendendo il campo della pittura al mondo della tecnica e dei mass media. L’opera in mostra When Attitudes Become Form, An Exhibition Sponsored by Philip Morris Europe (Pascali) (1997) può costituire un paradigma del lavoro dell’artista; il titolo allude alla storica mostra che celebrò l’arte concettuale nel 1969, mentre sulle tele si presentano, in una, la celebre fotografia di Pino Pascali alla Biennale di Venezia del 1968, e nell’altra, che funge da didascalia, compare il nome dell’artista e le date di nascita e di morte, in quattro lingue.
