Difference &Diversity

Questa mostra, attraverso un campione selezionato di artisti, si propone di illustrare l’attuale status della scultura contemporanea europea, senza pretesa di esaustività ma con l’ambizione di offrire un panorama realistico del “fare scultura” degli ultimi anni nel nostro Continente, in parte ancorato alla significativa eredità del vicino Novecento e in parte rivolto alla ricerca di una nuova dimensione creativa. Una mappa di esperienze rappresentative dei diversi paesi d’origine degli artisti invitati che, in qualità di curatore della mostra, mi ha indotto a non imporre un tema, poiché avrebbe certamente vincolato gli artisti o peggio ne avrebbe precluso ad alcuni la partecipazione. “Difference and Diversity”, il sottotitolo è la giusta chiave di lettura per capire il criterio che ha portato a questa selezione di 30 scultori da tutta l’Europa. Differenza e diversità nella pratica scultorea, nei materiali utilizzati, nell’approccio compositivo, nell’ideazione creativa, tutte variabili che caratterizzano questa straordinaria selezione di 150 opere, esposte per la prima volta in Italia. Multiformi e personali visioni della scultura contemporanea frutto della fantasia, dell’inventiva, della creatività e dell’immaginazione. La fantasia è forse la più libera tra le facoltà del nostro intelletto, non tiene conto della realizzabilità o del funzionamento di un oggetto, può permettersi di essere incredibile e impossibile. Proprio la fantasia ritengo sia il denominatore comune che caratterizza la scultura contemporanea e il segno distintivo di questa mostra. La scultura oggi non più legata al reale, libera dal giogo della mimesi e della figurazione, diventa un banco di prova su cui sperimentare materiali diversi e inusuali o interpretare in modo innovativo materiali tradizionali. Assumono rilevanza fattori nuovi, di natura percettiva e spaziale, la leziosità accademica è ormai un lontano ricordo che ha lasciato spazio alla ricerca dell’essenza intima, dell’energia oltre la forma. La materia rivendica la sua piena autonomia, si nutre della forza creativa dello scultore e acquista valore grazie alla sua fantasia. Già negli anni Quaranta, Arturo

Martini definì morto il linguaggio di una scultura ancorata al passato in quanto non più adeguata a svolgere le funzioni per cui era stata realizzata e inneggia ad una scultura che nasce dalle mani dello scultore semplicemente stringendo la creta. Se dal punto di vista concettuale, attraverso la scultura l’artista è ormai libero di rendere concreto e visibile il frutto della sua fantasia, dal punto di vista pratico egli deve fare i conti con la materia, qui sta la sua abilità. La totale libertà di pensiero che contraddistingue il momento creativo svanisce nel momento della realizzazione dell’opera, quando si presentano i vincoli imposti dai mezzi, dai materiali e dai numerosi fattori che ne limitano la creazione. Questo ostacolo è superato grazie alla capacità dell’artista di porre in relazione ciò che conosce e ciò che lo spinge a scoprire nuovi mezzi o materiali che gli permettono di inventare nuove soluzioni tecniche e di raggiungere nuovi traguardi comunicativi. Il passaggio concettuale da statua a scultura, da Marcel Duchamp in poi, ha dato il via alla possibilità di ritenere che ogni materiale o ogni oggetto compiuto è consono al fare scultoreo, ritenendolo prima di tutto una materia, inevitabile è quindi l’incessante processo sperimentale il procedere alla ricerca sempre nuova di mezzi e materiali diversi per fare scultura. Il livello di sperimentazione e le molteplici possibilità espressive dei nuovi materiali sono necessari oggi agli artisti che sono chiamati ad una produttività frenetica, espressione di una realtà rapida e in continuo cambiamento. Ciò non è privo di conseguenze. Attratti sempre più da nuovi composti plastici o addirittura da materiali deperibili a discapito di materiali come ad esempio il bronzo o il marmo, più duraturi, adatti per lasciare una traccia nel tempo, il risultato a volte porta a opere straordinarie ma la loro deperibilità le rende provvisorie e precarie. Al contempo, grazie alle infinite opportunità creative consentite dai nuovi materiali, la scultura contemporanea si distingue per la sua polidimensionalità percettiva e per una gestualità libera capaci di suscitare emozioni e di sollecitare la nostra fantasia.

Through a selection of artists this exhibition intends to illustrate the current position of European contemporary sculpture, by no means claiming to be exhaustive, but aiming to present a realistic panorama of “making sculpture” in Europe over recent years. The exhibition is partly tied to the important inheritance of the late Twentieth Century and partly directed towards the search for a new creative dimension. A map of experiences representing the different countries of the invited artists that, as curator of the exhibition, led me not to impose a theme, since it would certainly have constrained the artists, or worse, would have prevented some of them from participating. “Difference and Diversity”: this subheading is the key to understanding the criteria that led to this selection of 30 sculptors from all over Europe. Difference and diversity in sculptural technique, in materials used, in compositional approach, in creative conception: all variables that characterise this extraordinary selection of 150 works, exhibited in Italy for the first time. Protean and personal visions of contemporary sculpture, fruit of fantasy, inventiveness, creativity and imagination. Fantasy is perhaps the most free of our intellectual faculties, it does not take into account the feasibility or functionality of an object, it can permit itself to be incredible and impossible. I believe fantasy itself is the common denominator of contemporary sculpture and the distinctive mark of this exhibition. No longer linked to the real and free from the yoke of mimesis and figuration, sculpture nowadays becomes a test bench for different and unusual materials or for innovative interpretations of traditional materials. New perceptive and spatial factors gain importance, academic affectation is by now a distant memory that has given way to the search for innermost essence, energy beyond form. The subject reclaims complete autonomy; it feeds off the creative force of the sculptor and gains value through its imagination. The language of a sculpture anchored in the past had already been declared dead by Arturo Martini in the Forties, in so far as it no longer served the functions for

which it had been created and he instead praised sculpture that was born from clay simply being squeezed in the sculptor’s hands. If from a conceptual point of view the artist is now free to render the fruit of their imagination concrete and visible through sculpture, from a practical point of view they must confront the subject, herein lies their ability. The total liberty of thought that distinguishes the creative moment vanishes in the instant that the work is created, when the constraints imposed by the means, the materials and the numerous factors that limit creation present themselves. This obstacle is overcome thanks to the artist’s ability to interrelate what they know and that which pushes them to discover new means or materials that permit them to invent new technical solutions and to reach new communicative goals. The conceptual passage from statue to sculpture, from Marcel Duchamp onwards, made way for the idea that every material or every completed object is suitable for making sculpture, considering it above all a subject. The incessant experimental process is therefore inevitable, the constantly renewed search for different means and materials to sculpt with. Today the level of experimentation and the manifold expressive possibilities of new materials are necessary for artists who are called to frenetic productivity, expression of a rapid and ever changing reality. This is not devoid of consequences. Ever more attracted by plastic compounds, or even by perishable materials, to the detriment of materials like bronze or marble for example, which are longer lasting and more suited for leaving a mark on time, the result sometimes leads to extraordinary works but whose temporary nature renders them provisional and precarious. At the same time, thanks to the infinite creative opportunities allowed by new materials, contemporary sculpture is defined by its perceptual multidimensionality and free gestural expressiveness capable of arousing emotions and stimulating our imagination.

Difference &Diversity

Negli ultimi cinquant’anni la forma d’arte che viene definita Scultura ha avuto un’espansione eccezionale sotto il profilo concettuale. A partire dagli anni Sessanta la scultura comprende tutte quelle composizioni, allestimenti e azioni che investono lo spazio tridimensionale. Questo include azioni performative, installazioni nello spazio, Land Art, Arte Ambientale o Interventi d’Arte Sociale, e perfino l’architettura come nel caso di Frank Ghery nell’opera del Museo Guggenheim di Bilbao. All’interno di quest’orizzonte della categoria della scultura rimane ancora un nocciolo duro, per così dire un nucleo essenziale che non ha perso il fascino, ma anzi nei tempi recenti ha ulteriormente guadagnato in pregnanza e significato. Il materiale, presenza aptica di opere scultoree come una parte del nostro ambiente immediato è un contropotere rispetto al distaccato e volatile mondo sempre più governato dai media. L’incontro con la scultura presuppone un ruolo attivo dello spettatore con l’opera nella sua interezza, cioè apprezzare l’opera da tutti i suoi lati entrando col proprio corpo in relazione fisica con l’oggetto tridimensionale. A differenza di quanto accade con l’esperienza estetica della pittura, della Video Art, della Fotografia, questa esperienza include un grado di autenticità e di fisicità che può contrastare, almeno per un breve periodo di tempo, le somiglianze simulate con il monitor del computer e gli schermi touch. La maggior parte dei lavori creati dai membri di Sculpture Network, selezionati dalla giuria di questa prima mostra, si possono considerare una testimonianza dei principi fondamentali ora enunciati. Completamente indipendenti negli aspetti estetici o tematici, le opere evidenziano una dichiarazione di intenti unitaria rispetto all’apprezzamento generale per le forme fisiche tridimensionali, nonché per gli elevati standard di manualità artistica. Le diversità riflettono le varie tradizioni dei dieci paesi europei rappresentati (Germania, Italia, Norvegia, Polonia, Austria, Olanda, Islanda, Svizzera, Gran Bretagna).

The art form designated as sculpture has experienced an enormous conceptional expansion within the last fifty years. It has covered since the 1960’s all artistic compositions, settings and actions within three-dimensional space. This includes performances, installations in space, Land Art, Environment or Social Intervention, and even architecture such as Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Within this extreme scope of the category sculpture there remains yet a hard core, so to speak an essential nucleus which has not lost its fascination but has recently even gained in significance. The material, haptic presence of sculptural works as a part of our immediate environment is a counterforce versus the detached and volatile world increasingly governed by the media. An encounter with sculpture presupposes an active role of the viewer regarding the work in its entirety, appreciating it from all sides and relating his/her own body to the three-dimensional object. As opposed to the esthetic experience of painting, video art or photography, this includes a degree of authenticity and physical experience which counteract, at least for a short period of time, the simulated resemblances behind the computer monitors and touch screens. Most of the different works created by members of sculpture network and selected by a jury for presentation in this exhibition for the first time can be regarded under the above fundamental premises. Completely independent of esthetic or thematic aspects, they unify a declared dedication to three-dimensional physical forms, as well as to high standards of artistic craftsmanship. Their diversity reflects the various traditions within the ten European countries (Germany, Italy, Poland, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Great Britain).

Qualche anno fa fui coinvolta in un’iniziativa dal titolo “La diversità è valore”, una mostra dell’artista iraniano Hossein Golba all’interno dei Giardini di Boboli a Firenze. Questa frase ideata dall’artista mi è risuonata nella mente a partire dal momento in cui sono stata invitata a partecipare alla giuria di questo concorso. Sono profondamente convinta che la diversità è un valore in ogni campo dell’attività dell’uomo ma soprattutto in tutto quello che riguarda la creatività. La consapevolezza di uno stato eterogeneo delle cose apre numerose porte, dietro ognuna si nasconde un ambito di indagine e di libere scelte che comportano consequenze per le ricerche future. Forse la prima porta da aprire è quella dove l’artista si scopre tale, una figura che gode/soffre dello status del “diverso”. Le successive porte vengono aperte secondo il modo di operare, l’identificarsi positivamente o in opposizione ai ruoli di scultore, pittore, grafico, ballerino, romanziere, o compositore. Ad aprile ho ricevuto e sfogliato le foto inviate da 183 artisti di 20 paesi. Sul monitor ho osservato come ognuno dei partecipanti si proponeva, cercando di far emergere la propria “voce”, modellando quella pagina bianca che è lo spazio. Tutti avevano condiviso l’attrazione per il rischio, del mettersi in gioco attraverso il concorso, ma da ogni slide traspariva non solo la diversità del fare ma addirittura la diversa premessa artistica. Qualcuno ha saputo dare forma alla propria fantasia mentre altri hanno attinto al mondo intorno a noi per ricavarne gli aspetti più utili alla loro poesia tridimensionale. Le forme e figure comunicano la poliedricità della creatività del nostro tempo e anche se le pratiche, i materiali, e perfino il tipo di spazio immaginato aprono su mondi impossibili da sondare attraverso solo poche opere, il necessario limite posto alla corrente esposizione, l’operazione serve comunque a situarci, a porci davanti a una visione più ampia possibile. È l’inizio di un confronto con la vertigine dell’espressione, la vasta gamma di emozioni che gli artisti, nella loro diversità del fare, hanno saputo regalarci. Oggi non ci è più permesso pensare ad utopie totalizzanti ma gli artisti sembrano suggerirci, ognuno nel proprio linguaggio, che la forte affermazione di una visione autonoma e personale può prenderci per mano e condurci fuori da questo stato di disorientamento. Flaubert affermò che di tutte le bugie, l’arte è quella meno falsa. In questa mostra collettiva un coro di voci singole ci cantano forme che rispecchiano l’anima, ognuna è un passo significativo nella direzione della verità nelle sue diverse sfacettature.

In the Boboli Gardens in Florence some years ago, the Iranian artist Hossein Golba held an exhibition entitled “Diversity is a Value”. This artist’s phrase immediately came to mind when I was invited to participate on the jury for sculpture network’s exhibition in Turin. I am profoundly convinced that diversity is a value in any area of human activity, but this is especially true wherever creativity is concerned. Awareness of the heterogeneous state of things opens any number of doors; behind each one lies hidden a field of exploration as well as a set of free choices which will influence future investigation. Perhaps the first door to be opened is the one leading to the artist’s self-discovery as someone who enjoys or suffers his/her status of being “different”. Subsequent doors will be opened according to one’s way of working and to one’s identification, in a positive or a negative way, with the profession of a sculptor, a painter, a graphic artist, a ballet dancer, a writer or a composer. In April I received and perused the images of works by 183 artists from some 20 different countries. On my monitor I could observe how each of the participants presented himself/herself in an attempt to have his/her own “voice” heard, modellinging that blank page which is known as space. All were attracted by the risk of placing themselves in competition with others; however, each slide spoke of diversity: of the final artwork, obviously, but also and especially, of the various artistic premises involved. Some were able to give form to their own fantasy, whereas others plied the outside world in search of elements essential to their threedimensional poetry. The forms and figures illustrate the versatile nature of creativity in our time. Although the methods of implementation, the materials and even the type of space imagined open onto worlds which would be impossible to explore via only a few works (this was a necessary limitation for the current exhibition), this procedure serves in any case to establish our gaze and to promote a view which will be as far-reaching as possible. It is a first step in coming to terms with the vertigo of expression, with the vast range of emotions the artists have known how to present through the diversity of their practice. Today we are no longer allowed to conceive of all-encompassing utopias; however, the artists seem to suggest, each in his/her own vocabulary, that a strong affirmation of an independent and personal vision is capable of taking us by the hand and leading us out of this state of disorientation. Flaubert once stated that, of all the lies told, art is the least false. In this group show, a chorus of individual voices sings us forms which mirror the soul, each representing a significant step in the direction of truth with its multifaceted nature.

Scala: una storia sul concetto di scala

Scale: a story about scale

Mi è stato chiesto di tenere una lezione al IX° Forum Internazionale sulla Scultura organizzato da Sculpture Network.

I was asked to give a lecture for the IX International Sculpture Forum “European Sculpture: Diversity and the difference in practice”.

La mia lezione è sul concetto di “scala”.

My lecture is about SCALE.

Il concetto di scala non riguarda la proporzione o la misura delle cose. La scala non è relativa alle cose stesse. La scala è un concetto che riguarda sia le cose che le persone.

Scale is not just about the size and measurements and proportions of things. Scale is not just about things. Scale is about people and things.

Il concetto di scala è relativo quindi alla dimensione delle cose in relazione alla proporzione umana.

Scale is about the dimensions of things, related to the dimensions of people.

Spesso è necessario esplorare e conoscere un nuovo sapere a proposito di distanza, ampiezza, altezza e altre condizioni primarie sulle quali è costruita la vita. Questo sentimento si configura bene come ansietà. A volte per esempio qualcuno si avvicina troppo e provoca un senso di disagio nell’altro.

Often it is necessary to explore a new knowledge about distance, width, height and other primary conditions on which life is built. That feeling is as well relieving as anxious. Sometimes one just comes too close to someone which is undesirable by the other.

Quanto spazio c’è dentro di te? Quante volte un sentimento di libertà si trasforma in paura di perdersi? Vi è un punto di svolta, un limite, col quale ci si deve confrontare. La misura, il misurare, la dimensione: ciò deriva dalla necessità di collocarci nello spazio mondo.

How much space is there inside of you? When does the feeling of freedom turn into fear of getting lost? There is a turning point, a limit, we get confronted with. Measure, measurement, size: it derives from the necessity to dwell in the world space.

Sin dall’inizio la filosofia di Sculpture Network è stata quella di creare una rete di connessioni intorno al comune interesse rappresentato dalla scultura. Ciò ha portato ai simposi regolarmente organizzati che esaminano la Scultura in ambienti e relazioni diverse. L’architettura, il paesaggio e i luoghi pubblici sono stati tutti oggetto di dibattito, coinvolgendo eminenti oratori, curatori, storici, artisti e collezionisti. L’elemento base della nostra appartenenza è rappresentato comunque dagli scultori, che producono opere e le presentano. È avendo questo in mente che abbiamo organizzato la presente mostra intitolata “Scultura Europea - Diversità e Differenza”. Sono state presentate 183 domande d’iscrizione a prendervi parte, provenienti da 20 paesi; ne sono state selezionate 30, provenienti da 10 paesi. È la prima mostra di Sculpture Network e costituisce una dimostrazione del successo raggiunto, visto attraverso il lavoro dei suoi membri. Nel weekend di apertura della mostra, dal 16 al 18 settembre, il connesso IX International Sculpture Forum fornisce una piattaforma di discussione sui differenti approcci nei confronti della scultura contemporanea in Europa. I nostri ringraziamenti e la nostra gratitudine vanno alla Città di Grugliasco, alla organizzazione martin - Martini Arte Internazionale, alla sua curatrice Patrizia Bottallo e alla nostra giuria (Miranda Mac Phail, Marc Wellman e Auke de Vries) per il tempo che hanno dedicato a rendere possibile questa iniziativa.

Since its inception the philosophy of Sculpture Network has been to create a web of connections around our common interest in sculpture. This has led to regular organized symposia examining sculpture in diverse settings and relationships. Architecture, landscape and public places have all been subjects for debate, involving eminent speakers, curators, historians, artists and collectors. The core of our membership, however are sculptors who make objects, and exhibit them. It is with this in mind that we have organized this exhibition entitled “European Sculpture - Diversity & Difference”. 183 entries from 20 countries were submitted for the exhibition, of which 30 from 10 countries have been selected. It is Sculpture Network’s first exhibition and a testament to the success it has achieved, seen through the work of its members. The accompanying IX International Sculpture Forum on the opening weekend of the exhibition from 16 to 18 September 2010 provides a platform for discussion on the different approaches towards contemporary sculpture in Europe. Our thanks and gratitude go to the City of Grugliasco, to Martini Arte Internazionale, its curator Patrizia Bottallo, and to our jury Miranda Mac Phail, Marc Wellman and Auke de Vries for their time in making this possible.

Finalità dell’associazione è la promozione dell’arte contemporanea internazionale, la divulgazione della cultura e della sensibilità artistica.

martin, Martini Arte Internazionale, is an organization founded in the year 2000 with the aim of promoting, spreading and supporting the Contemporary Art so that to encourage the cultural interchange process through exhibitions and events that involve public bodies and international artists. martin organization was founded by a group of Turinese professionals that have accrued over the years a strong passion for the artistic world. Our main aim is the promotion of the international contemporary art, the spreading of the culture and the artistic feelings.

L’organizzazione dedica a bambini e ragazzi “martinED, martin EDucazione”, una sezione volta alla sensibilizzazione e alla formazione delle nuove generazioni, realizzando visite guidate e laboratori didattici. martin, tramite la sezione “martin Beats”, organizza eventi ed happening in cui interagiscono Arte e Design, Arte e Spettacolo, Arte e Musica, Arte e Moda e altre forme creative. Nel 2008 è iniziato il programma di residenzialità d’artista presso la sede storica in Cavagnolo, vicino a Torino. Artisti da tutto il mondo sono ospitati per un mese o due in una villa ottocentesca nella splendida cornice delle colline del Monferrato. martin si occupa inoltre di progetti di riqualificazione urbana attraverso la selezione, la cura della realizzazione e l’inserimento nel tessuto cittadino di opere d’arte pubblica.

We have devoted to children and teenagers a section called “martinED’which stands for “martin Education’. This section aims to sensitize and train new generation by organizing guided tours and didactical workshops. Moreover, martin through the “martin Beats’section organizes events and meetings in which Art and Design, Art and Performing art, Art and Music, Art and Fashion and other forms of creativity are involved. In 2008 the resident artist programme began at the historic premises in Cavagnolo, near Turin. Artists from all over the world are guests for one or two months in an nineteenth-century villa in the marvellous setting of the Monferrato hills. martin is also involved in urban redevelopment, selecting public works of art and overseeing their execution and integration with the urban fabric.

L’organizzazione promuove le seguenti iniziative: mostre di pittura, scultura, installazioni, tecniche grafiche, fotografia, design industriale e video arte, laboratori di scultura e pittura, operazioni artistiche di intervento sul territorio, incontri con storici e critici dell’arte, artisti e professionisti operanti nel settore, conferenze su argomenti artistici, culturali e scientifici in una prospettiva interdisciplinare. Favorisce l’interscambio culturale attraverso la collaborazione con artisti ed esperti stranieri e la partnership con accademie, musei, scuole, fondazioni ed enti privati e pubblici di tutta Europa.
