Zeit lose Kunst*

Last week I was at a vernissage at Laura Haber Art Gallery. It was an exhibition of Enio Iommi`s Students.

At Iommi’s words Safety at Arts is a dangerous thing . Artists must move their energies to find their passion and identity to start creating. Contemporary Art is related to Contemporary Life and the Artists should put their own poetry in art-ideas.

From the whole exhibition I want to mention:

“Pasión Latina”, Artwork made by bones, plastic and flowers from artist Laura Vieyra.

“The way to Liberation”, Artwork made of wire and plastic by artist and architect Rosa Wolkowsky.

To finish I will thank Marité Ponisio who gave me the inspiration for the title of this note.

* German for : Only Art goes beyond Time.

Textile Art

Once again I have learned something which makes me renew my feelings, knowledge and convictions. More even when I have to write all this in English and the etymology of the language is so different:

At English Language “Textile”: not as cloth but as web.
With these three letters (symbols) I don’t have to explain so much.
At the Latin Language “ textere” : transmission.

Curator Florencia Battiti took also this idea to explain her curatorial axis at Palais de Glace. At the beginning of the exhibition a big glassbox with capital letters in the inside whose characters were filled with condoms making the word survive. This idea continued with clothes specially designed for dangerous conditions and the end a small tent connected with the others under the title: connected to survive.

The whole exhibition attemps to explain the internal and eternal connection between cloth and messages, cloth and history, cloth and human life.

Of this exhibition I have to mention :

Paraguayan Artist Feliciano Centurion’s Artwork made by bedclothes and crochet style and Natalia Rizzo ( Argentine Artist) who made an interesting scenario of life and death, and the movement of times inspired in Mexican Idea of Death, Dream and Memory , and childhood tales.
