| [Nettime-ro] Vernisajul expozitiei Paul Neagu Blind Bite, Ivan Gallery, marti 30 iunie 7PM |
Paul Neagu Blind Bite (scroll down for English version) Vernisaj: Marti, 30 iunie 2015, ora 19.00 Perioada: 30 iunie â 05 septembrie 2015 Galeria Ivan va invita marti 30 iunie, ora 19, la vernisajul expozitiei Blind Bite a artistului Paul Neagu, in cadrul careia va fi proiectat pentru prima oara in Romania filmul Blind Bite din 1975. Blind Bite este una dintre notiunile centrale ale gandirii si practicii artistice holistice dezvoltate de Paul Neagu. Desemnand planul subconstient, al impulsurilor si instinctelor primordiale care sustin, hranesc si perpetueaza fiinÈa si existenta umana, Blind Bite este dalta care ciopleste piatra, dintii in mancare, cutitul in carne, ratiunea dominata de impuls. (Paul Neagu, 1975). In interiorul iconografiilor artistului ea este reprezentata prin figura geometrica a triunghiului, plasata spatial la baza Hyphen-ului, fiind primul stadiu al conÈtiintei umane, urmat de Horizontal Rain (sistemul construit prin actiuni rationale, cultura si civilizatia umana) si de Going Tornado (actul eliberarii, transcendentei). Seria de performance-uri Blind Bite a debutat in 1971 la Sigi Krauss Gallery din Londra cu celebrul Cake Man â instalatie manjabila din waffles cu miere dispuse in forma unei siluete umane-figura antropocosmica, consumata de public - si s-a repetat in diverse variante in 1972 si 1975. In unele dintre acestea Paul Neagu isi lega la ochi audienta pentru a muta accentul de pe vaz pe celelalte simturi, mai pure si proaspete din punct de vedere perceptiv - in spiritul Manifestului Artei Palpabile redactat de artist in 1969 â amplificand astfel dimensiunea instinctuala, tactila, oflactiva si gustativa a actului hranirii: In operele mele, Blind Bite se poate referi la conflictele umane primare, o intamplare, o interventie sau un obiect palpabil, si se leaga intotdeauna de radacinile perceptiei. (Paul Neagu, 1975) Paul Neagu (Bucuresti, 1938 - Londra, 2004) a trait si a lucrat in Anglia incepand cu anul 1970, cand a parasit definitiv Romania. Artisti importanti precum Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Rachel Whiteread, Tony Cragg i-au fost studenti si au afirmat importanta cailor de explorare artistica pe care Neagu le-a deschis. Lucrarile sale se afla in numeroase colectii publice, precum Arts Council of Great Britain, Muzeul National de Arta (Romania), National Museum of Modern Art (Tokio), Philadelphia Museum of Art, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Tate Gallery (Londra), Victoria and Albert Museum (Londra). Blind Bite este organizata in colaborare cu Paul Neagu Estate (UK) Èi este cea de-a treia expozitie a artistului la Galeria Ivan, dupa reenactment-ul performance-ului Cake Man din 2012 si Going Tornado in 2014. Expozitia poate fi vizitata in perioada 30 iunie â 05 septembrie 2015, de marti pana sambata, intre orele 11:00 â 19:00. Lucrari de Paul Neagu participa in prima editie a Bienalei de la Viena, MAK, 11 iunie â 04 octombrie 2015, iar intre 13 august â 08 noiembrie 2015 Henry Moore Institute din Leeds, Marea Britanie, va organiza expozitia de anvergura dedicata artistului - Paul Neagu: Palpable Sculpture. EN Opening: Tuesday 30 June 2015, 7 PM 30 June â 05 September 2015 Ivan Gallery has the pleasure to invite you Tuesday 30 June, 7 PM, to the opening of Paul Neaguâs Blind Bite solo show, with the first Romanian screening of the 1975 film. Blind Bite is one of the central topics in Paul Neaguâs theoretical thinking and artistic practice. Referring to the subconscious area of primordial impulses and instincts that sustain, nurture and perpetuate human being and existenceâ Blind Bite is the chisel hewing the stone, the teeth in the food, the knife in the flesh, reason dominated by impulse. (Paul Neagu, 1975). Inside the artistâs iconographies it is represented by the geometric figure of the triangle, located at the Hyphenâs base, also a symbol for the first level of human awareness, followed by Horizontal Rain (human culture and civilisation, a system built through rational actions) and by Going Tornado (the act of breaking free, transcendence). The Blind Bite performance series started in 1971 at Sigi Krauss Gallery in London with the famous Cake Man â an edible installation made of waffles and honey arranged in the shape of a human silhouette-anthropocosmic figure, consumed by the public â and repeated in various versions in 1972 and 1975. In some of these, Paul Neagu blindfolded the audience in order to emphasise the perceptively fresh and pure senses, other than sight â in the spirit of the Palpable Art Manifesto issued by the artist in 1969 â highlighting the instinctual experience of feeding, with touch, smell and taste: In my work, Blind Bite could be about the basic human conflict, a happening, an intervention, or a tactile object, and it always connects to the roots of perception. (Paul Neagu, 1975) Paul Neagu (Bucharest, 1938 â London, 2004) has lived and worked in England since 1970, when he left Romania. Important artists, such as Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Rachel Whiteread, Tony Cragg, were among his students and asserted the importance of the artistic paths of exploration that Neagu opened. His works can be found in many public collections amongst which are The Arts Council of Great Britain, The National Museum of Arts (Romania), The National Museum of Modern Art (Tokio), The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, The Tate Gallery (London), The Victoria and Albert Museum (London). The Blind Bite exhibition is organised together with the Paul Neagu Estate (UK) and is the artistâs third solo-show at Ivan Gallery, after the 2012 Cake Man performance reenactment and Going Tornado in 2014. The exhibition can be visited between 30 June â 05 September 2015, Tuesday-Saturday, 11:00-19:00. Works by Paul Neagu take part in the first edition of Vienna Biennale, at MAK, 11 June â 4 October 2015, and between 13 August â 8 November 2015 the Henry More Institute in Leeds, Great Britain, will organise the solo-show Paul Neagu: Palpable Sculpture.
