Flow Line Michael McGillis text by Rebecca Carrai Michael McGillis è un artista americano, laureato nel 1989 con un diploma triennale all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Detroit, the Center for Creative Studies. Nel 1998, egli realizza le sue prime opere d'arte che consistono in installazioni permanenti e sono intitolate: “Five Needles“, nel Michigan Legacy Art Park a Thompsonville, e “Passage“ a Clark Park, nella città di Detroit. Dal 1998 al 2014, la sua produzione artistica è strettamente legata al paesaggio e al territorio, i quali rappresentano punti di forza nelle sue opere.“Grommet“ (2001) nel Michigan Legacy Art Park, “Compounded Eye“ (2005) nella Riserva del Parco di Shihmen a Taiwan, “Wake“ (2006) nel Parco Franconia Sculpture in Minnesota e “Flow Line“ (2007), nella regione dell'Alvernia in Francia, sono opere temporanee che si distinguono per l'integrazione di pittura e colore nel paesaggio naturale. L'arte di McGillis è stata riconosciuta globalmente fin dagli esordi, a partire dal Sovvenzionamento Nazionale per le Arti e la Ricerca (Detroit Focus) ricevuto nel 1991 e 1993, alla sua partecipazione come membro nella Fondazione Jerome nel 2006.

Michael McGillis is an American artist graduated in 1989 at the Center for Creative Studies of Detroit (Michigan) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. In 1998, he created his first artworks that consist in permanent installations entitled “Five Needles“, in the Michigan Legacy Art Park (Thompsonville) and “Passage“ in Clark Park, in the City of Detroit. From 1998 to 2014, his career focused on sited works where landscape and the site represent the strong points. “Grommet“ (2001) in the Michigan Legacy Art Park, “Compounded Eye“ (2005) in the Shihmen Reservoir Park (Taiwan), “Wake“ (2006) in the Franconia Sculpture Park (Minnesota), and “Flow Line“ (2007) in Auvergne (France) are temporary and site specific works that distinguish for the use of paint and colorful elements into the nature. McGillis' art has been awarded worldwide from his start, beginning from the National Endowment for Arts (Detroit Focus) in 1991 and 1993 to the partecipation as a fellow in the Jerome Foundation in 2006.

Tracciare il territorio
Etching the landscape
Con l‘uso del colore, attraverso contrasti cromatici, Michael McGillis disegna e ridefinisce il territorio. Il rapporto dell‘artista con la natura è basato su una forma di complementarità. Ciò che il paesaggio gli offre naturalmente sembra non soddisfare la sua mente creativa, spingendolo a intervenire, interpretandolo e reinventandolo ogni volta, completandolo con il colore. Il risultato è quello di una produzione creativa che, nel corso degli anni, ha visto la tramutazione degli elementi naturali in un‘entità nuova, colorata e direzionale, come nel caso di “Flow Line“ (2007): una linea rossa nel territorio francese dell‘Alvernia. Questa linea di flusso, composta da fitti rami di salice piantati nel terreno, determina una forma organica chiusa, un recinto di 250 metri di circonferenza che scorge sulla vetta dell‘altopiano Puy de Chambourguet, nella località di Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise. L‘opera d‘arte temporanea è stato progettata in occasione della prima edizione di “Horizons Rencontres“ nel 2007, un‘iniziativa culturale, con campo di azione il Massif du Sancy, che annualmente invita dieci artisti ad investigare il legame dell‘arte con la natura, al fine di valorizzare il patrimonio naturale e mettere in discussione la società contemporanea. La natura di McGillis è tutt‘altro che immacolata. È una natura che ha subito un innesto, un intervento di addizione, in seguito ad un‘attenta analisi che ha condotto l‘artista ad alterare il suo territorio, a delimitarvi spazi prima inesistenti, a creare nuovi percorsi e luoghi di confine.
Through the use of colour contrasts, Michael McGillis draws and defines the landscape. The relationship between the artist and nature is based on complementarity. What the landscape naturally offers him appears not to satisfy his creative mind. Therefore, he intervenes himself, interpreting and re-inventing the landscape through colours. This has led to the production of a wide range of artworks that over the years has witnessed the transformation of natural elements into a new colourful and directional entity, such as “Flow Line“ (2007): a red line etched on the territory of Auvergne in France. This “Flow Line“, made of dense willow branches planted into the ground, create an enclosed organic shape, a fence with a 250-metre circumference, barely visible on the peak of the plateau of Puy de Chambourguet, in Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise. The site-specific artwork was designed for the first edition of the cultural project “Horizons Rencontres“ in 2007.
Every year, “Horizons Rencontres“ chooses ten land artists to exhibit in the Massif du Sancy, to explore the link between art and nature with the aim of enhancing the value of the natural heritage and questioning contemporary issues related to humanity and the environment. McGillis's nature is anything but spotless. It has been processed from additions, like a graft. After accurate analysis, the artist's intervention delimits new unexpected spaces, paths and borders.
