“Mutant
Aesthetics” (Transforming Aesthetics) This project represents the development of a series that I call Mutant Aesthetics, which began two years ago. This
production follows another series called Aesthetic Fusion, that
consisted of the production of black structures, built by stringing
wooden centrings. Aesthetic Fusion was itself the prosecution of the shaped canvas
technique, that I begun early in the eighties. With
the Mutant Aesthetics series I had introduced an intermediate element
between environment and sculpture, represented by white walls, giving
body and shape to the visual/spatial interval between sculpture and
environment in the exhibition space. This
present project, is part of a new Mutant Aesthetic phase, in which I
have put together sculpture and white walls in a single geometrical
structure, made of metallic colour wood and rope. In
this way the internal pillar is surrounded by an architecture which
separates it from the environmental space. This
change is in response to the conceptual development of my present
defensive perspective of the work of art, leading my sculptures to an
interruption of harmony between work of art and exhibition surroundings. |
