Social space and God, artistic research in historical perspective and the «Zeitgeist».
At the height of neoliberalism, living in post-modernity and its digital media, we are at the end of an era: the end of modernity.
In the 80’s and 90’s, the binomial scientific research versus art began to change, and questions began to be asked about whether science alone is research, with other ways of seeing and types of research. As knowledge is linked to the nature of the human being, then, research is conditioned by each era in which one lives, however objective it may seem.
Before this, modernity put an end to the ancient regime of the God-given order: absolute kings and nobility, church, and plebs. Science said that things could be changed by analysing and improving circumstances through rationality. Perfection seemed possible by only one way: scientific research. And along came totalitarian theories such as communism and fascism to establish this perfection. The result: two world wars and absolute disaster.
Artistic research, on the contrary, is an organic network of creative processes, it is like an embodied network, in which context and experience are mixed and developed with different artistic practices, such as photography, performance, painting, writing, etc. ART IS ABOUT UNMASKING.
Let us no longer look for more perfect worlds: they do not and cannot exist.
This does not mean that we remain passive, as Alberto Giacometti said, «we cannot escape from making decisions». Artistic practices open to all kinds of audiences a range of experiences, sensations, emotions, reflections, reasoning, knowledge. Connected to a community that consumes art, for what? To understand a part of the world explained in other ways and opening the imaginary and creative world to the reach of all, a way of understanding in a holistic way? To unblock the frozen imaginary, due to the excess of images that we consume day by day?
We are currently immersed in a bureaucratic world, full of big and small laws and rules that, instead of optimising the world we live in, destroys it.
We live in an incomplete world. This is due to our inability to see reality, because after millions of years of biological evolution we only see what we need to survive.
But, if we can recognise our limitations, we see that the meaning is in the imperfect world and not in the perfect one.
