Vedute Europene

Capitoul I

Impresii din metroul parizian

 

Ce poate fi mai fara sens decat o perspectiva sparta, gresita adesea, mai lipsit de orice conotatie politica, sociala, emotionala (vai, atat de contemporan!) decat niste linii de fuga necolorate? Lumina, daca traverseaza o prisma, o zona incarcata de umiditate se coloreaza, se desface in, curcubeul ROGVAIV. Albul, in schimb respinge lumina.

 

Inaintez prin culoarele inguste cu goluri murdare, standuri comerciale si asist la agitatia angoasanta a furnicarului de oameni. Peste tot sunt panouri publicitare, un bazar general, o curte a miracolelor din zilele noastre tare in culori, stridenta, urata dar vitala.

Un escalator care coboara, un trotuar rulant la Montparnasse, o colonada luminata alb, neutru si violent, vital, o orchestra de ucraineni care intotdeauna canta in acelasi loc la Châtelet, o echipa de politisti cu alura sportiva , elastici ca niste feline agresive cu gri-griuri atarnate la centura, un tigan acordeonist care ar fi putut fi talentat daca nu ar fi fost atat de sarac, de blazat; iata o mica omenire care alerga ametitor in toate partile.

 

Ma preocupa acest amestec (dintr-un peisaj imaginar) facut din linii electrificate, nori si marginile albe ale aripilor de avion care strabat vazduhul in hurducaielile componentelor din plastic ce se agita la toate turbulentele deasupra golului instabil. Avion in miscare, linii de fuga care raman agatate de cer in echilibre schimbatoare, incordari de nervi si semnul crucii facut cu limba in gura.

 

Klee impinge punctul in linie, linia in plan, planul devine spatiu in trei dimensiuni, iar eu caut sensuri acolo unde nu se mai vede nimic, unde desenul este urma alba a luminii pe peretele din faianta alba. Vad margini de zid acolo unde nu sunt, trepte multe la statia de metrou Abbesses, patul unui om al strazii si culoare inguste fara de capat, marginea aripii unui avion

 

Ideile imi vin brusc in contact cu mediul, uneori, fara semnal, uneori din disperare. Nu caut, nu ma "pun pe ganduri", nu incerc sa spun vreun adevar sau sa punctez realitatea.

 

Linii albe pe fundal alb - douazeci de desene cusute pe hartie e raspunsul in urma contactului meu cotidian cu geografiile punctuale care ma inconjoara.

Referintele mele sunt culese din amintiri, Olympia cea alba pe un cearseaf la fel de alb a lui Manet, David Hockney si fotomontajele lui in care distruge perspectivele clasice, rulourile vechi chinezesti in care artistul urmareste stari, gesturi si distorzioneaza liniile de fuga, filmele Neo Realismului italian.

Peisaje reale versus peisaje imaginare si peisaje intime versus peisaje publice

ALERT studio este un proiect independent initiat de Raluca Ilaria Demetrescu, Alina Buga si Catalin Burcea cu scopul de a crea o platforma de cercetare  si promovare a productiei artistice contemporane. Asumandu-si functia de spatiu laborator, Alert Studio propune o intalnire intre artisti, idei, directii si discursuri din zone conceptuale si spatii culturale diferite. Sunt importante si apreciate gandirea critica si interogatia ca metode de cercetare a contextului cultural-artistic contemporan.

ALERT studio functioneaza ca o galerie de proiect, conectand trei directii de explorare artistica - PINK | RED | WHITE - intr-un singur spatiu. Insa aceste coordonate nu inseamna indexare, restrictie si etichetare. Ele se pot intersecta si nuanta, pot oricand dialoga si declansa dezbateri.

European Cityscapes

Chapter 1

Impressions of the parisian Subway

 

What can it be more sensesless than a broken, often wrong persective, more lacked of any political, social or even emotional connotation (oh, so contemporary!) than some non coloured perspective lines? If the light passes through a prism, an area charged with moisture stains dyeds, it opens in the rainbow ROYGBIV. White, instead rejects the light.

 

I'm geting on through narrow aisles full of dirty gaps, trade stands and I'm witnessing the anxious turmoil of people's formicary. There are everywhere advertising billboards, a general bazaar, a nowadays court of miracles strong in colours, harsh, ugly but vital.

A getting down escalator, a travelator at Montparnasse, a white, violent illuminated colonnade, an Ukrainians orchestra who is allways playing in the same place at Châtelet subway station, sporty, supple looking policemen, with hanging gri-gris on their belts, a Gypsy acordeonist which could have been talented if he hadn't been so poor, so surfaited, a small humanity raning all over the place.

 

I'm preocupied by this mixture ( from an imaginary landscape) made by electrified tracks, clouds, the white edges of an airplane wings that go through the heavens in a big noise produced by the plastic components which are shaking at all turbulancies  above the unstable abyss. Moving airplane, landscape lines that remained hooked to heaven in changing balances, nervous tensions and signing crosses with the tongue in the mouth.

 

Klee pushes the point in the line, the line in a plan, the plan becomes three dimensional and I'm searching senses where nothing is to be seen, where the drawing is the white trace of the light on the white tiled wall. I see wall edges where they are not, a lot of steps at Abbesses underground station, a homless's bed and narrow, no ending corridors, the final line of an airplane wing.

 

The ideas are coming suddenly into contact with the environment, sometimes with no signal at all, sometimes with despair. I'm not searching, I'm not trying to say any truth or to emphasise the reality.

 

White lines on a white background - twenty sewn drawings is the answer for my daily routine meeting with the specific common geographies who are surrounding me. I collect the references in my memories, the White Olympia on the very white blanket by Manet, David Hockney's photomontages where he destroyes the classical perspective, the ancient chinese rolls in which the artist follows gestures and states of mind and disturbs the perpective lines, the Italian Neorealism movies.

Real landscapes versus fantasy landscapes, intimate landscapes versus public landscapes

ALERT studio functions as a pop-up-gallery.

Exhibition on view: June 12 - June 30. Visits will be programmed by e-mail.

 

ALERT studio is an independent project initiated by Raluca Demetrescu Alina Buga and Catalin Burcea in order to create a platform of research and promotion of contemporary artistic production. Taking on the function of alaboratory space, Studio Alert proposes a meeting between artists, ideas, directions and speeches from different areas of conceptual and cultural spaces. Critical thinking and interrogation are important and valued as research methods in the contemporary cultural and artistic field.

ALERT studio stands as a gallery project, connecting three areas of artistic exploration - PINK | RED | WHITE - into one space. But these coordinates do not mean indexing, labeling and restriction. They may intersect, combine in new shades, and may always communicate and trigger debates.
