Il mondo non è banale? ░ Il linguaggio conveniente del Sublime Prefetto

edited by in data
¨ Sutta  (vedico: s ū tra; letteralmente: filo * ) del linguaggio conveniente del Sublime Prefetto ** Mia Nonna dello Zen così ha udito: una volta dimorava il Sublime Prefetto presso la Basilica di Sant’Antonio, nel codice catastale di Padua. E il Sublime così parlò: “Quattro caratteristiche, o mio bhikkh ū *** , dirigente dell’area del decreto di espulsione e dell’accoglienza e dirigente anche dell’area degli enti locali e delle cartelle esattoriali e dei fuochi d’artificio fatti come Buddho vuole ogni qualvolta che ad esempio si dica “cazzo di Buddha” o anche “alla madosca” o “gaudiosissimo pelo”, deve avere il linguaggio conveniente, non sconveniente, irreprensibile, incensurabile dagli intercettatori; quali quattro? Ecco, o mio dirigente che ha distrutto le macchie: un dirigente d’area parla proprio un linguaggio conveniente, non sconveniente, un linguaggio conforme alla Dottrina del Governo, non in contrasto con essa, un linguaggio gradevole, non sgradevole, un lin...

Press Release:
1301PE is pleased to present its third solo exhibition of the groundbreaking artist Jack Goldstein. A central figure of the “Pictures Generation” with Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, David Salle, Sherri Levine, Troy Brauntuch, and others, Goldstein’s work included film, performance, writing, text, painting, sound, and sculpture. The exhibition will focus on two seminal works: Burning Window and Aphorisms.
From 1976 until 1984, Goldstein made a number of singular works that focused on spectacle and the cinematic. Burning Window (1977) is the most iconic installation. In it Goldstein created a relationship between the viewer and the object that is defined by distance rather than immersion.
This spectacle, which may be felt ambiguously both “real” and as a “cinematic” illusion, calls into question the “truth” of visual experience. – Jack Goldstein
Writing was always a part of Goldstein’s practice. In 1982 Goldstein participated in documenta 7, he included a series of writings on his artist page in the catalogue. He called them Aphorisms, considering them visual language. They would appear in his 1985 exhibition at Städtische Galerie Erlangen. This time text was set in black Helvetica with specific words in each line in red. The Aphorisms became works that shifted from book to wall and back again, the same way Goldstein wanted to turn thought into something tangible and then back to a thought.
Jack Goldstein (1945 – 2003) was born in Canada and lived in the United States. His work has been exhibited in the United States and internationally including major exhibitions: Gwangju Biennale, 2014; La Biennale di Venezia, 2011; Whitney Biennial, 1985; documenta 8, 1985 and documenta 7, 1982.
