Icastica, Arezzo, Italy 2014. 14th June - 31st October.

ICASTICA significa “arte di rappresentare la realtà”. Icàstico – aggettivo, dal greco εἰκαστικός «rappresentativo», derivazione di εἰκάζω «rappresentare» – vuol dire rappresentazione efficace, incisiva, perciò suggestiva e, in questo senso, sintetica. Tale rappresentazione, nell’uso contestuale, rifugge il confine del riguardare un’azione sugli oggetti, e s’inserisce invece nella dimensione di atto espressivo diretto alla specificità di un significante modale anziché sostanziale…
ICASTICA 2014 è la seconda edizione di una manifestazione culturale che tratta l’estetica internazionale, attraverso arte, spettacolo, giornate di studio. ICASTICA 2014 s’incentra sul tema della rinascita, secondo il criterio della “crisi positiva”, quel fenomeno che si pone all’origine del tutto, poiché dal tutto origina. Quando si pensi al concetto di generazione, non è infatti possibile distanziarsi dai termini della violenza creatrice dalla quale scaturisce quiete e bilanciamento. Di qui il concetto del negativo quale opportunità…
L’arte, come dimensione dell’esperienza, dunque della storia, è qui chiamata a simboleggiare ciò che sta intorno al “punto di crisi”; è tutto quel che circonda la consapevolezza della soluzione; è catarsi, percorso sublimato

Symbolic Logic - Hong Kong - April 15 - May 31, 2014







http://identityartgallery.com/exhibition/symbolic-logic/

Symbolic LogicApril 15 - May 31, 2014Opening Reception: April 15, 2013 from 7:00-9:00pm
Expressionist lines, geometrical abstractions, surreal alterations and mythical figures are some of the visual clues presented in “Symbolic Logic”. The exhibition brings together 10 contemporary art practises from a cross-generational group of artists. “Symbolic Logic” demonstrates how paintings and their idiosyncratic set of symbols can polarise illusionary worlds.

George Boole in his study on Aristotelian logic aimed at creating a system of symbols and codes for translating the vagueness, equivocations and confusions deriving from ordinary language.

In a similar manner works in “Symbolic Logic” retain an inherent and codified language. Instead of subsuming to the incoherency of their codes, these works allow their visual narrative to penetrate the contingent logic of its symbols. In an interplay between realistic signs and optical abstractions, the viewer is able to dissolve into the enigmatic power of the works.

Jane Harris, Richard Kirwan, Dominic Beatie, Tim Ellis, Jack Newling, Mark Pearson, Rhys Coren, Luey Graves, Katy Kirbach, Steve Dowson.

…more scratched eyeballs

Beach towel.

Thousands of worms. Sat flat under grease arse.
Eating themselves to keep you from the world.
Every time a layer.
The skin needs help. Rub it some.
The patio is harsh. Drop it one.

More worms now. Slipping across eyes.
Much too bright the sky out here. All blush blue and magic.
Dancing round slick fingers all raised up.
These eyes are ruined. Scratched to bits.

Here by the pool or gallery wall.
Hard to escape these yokes made mess.
Chasing skid worms round render.
Find me a picture to get some rest.

Or

Plink Plink!

Give me plates. Or fat shrimp splat flat.
Chuck me ice. Rocks on the rocks on rocks.
Lose me on the dancefloor. Or just curl me a straw.
Papa Shango is an olive pip.
Leave the party in a lobster claw.

Throw all that you have. We’re rolling now.
Keep these goggles busy.
With bubbles and more.

Scratches will pass. Worms will sink low.
Glass comes up right
Scrubs up well.

Pampered.
All oiled and ripe and new each time.
You’re not made for this.



(48HOURS is a series of weekend long shows curated by Suzannah Pettigrew)
