[Nettime-ro] vernisaj The Path of The Squares, Desa Petricic Vlahutin, Mogosoaia, 17 mai orele 17.30 |
The Path of the Squares   Basic geometric shapes purged of all metaphor. Accent on the materials. Equality and balance. Cold representation. Repetition. Less is more.  The works of young Croatian sculptress DeÅa PetriÄiÄ Vlahutin correspond to all these features mentioned above, characteristic of the minimal art, well-known in the 1960s and 1970s in Western culture. DeÅa PetriÄiÄ Vlahutin graduated the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb , class of professor ÂPeruÅko BogdaniÄ in 2006 and has a few public works in Zagreb . She is an authentic contemporary minimalist artist â in these post post-modern times - and she respects fatefully the rules and principles of minimalism in concept and formal approach. She works with classic and sometimes expensive materials without the evidence of the artistâs hand, for their direct aesthetic impact. She has an impressive vision for large sculptures destined to public spaces. The path of the squares is in fact the story of the squares seen through drawings, models and the final result in object. With a mathematical composition DeÅa PetriÄiÄ Vlahutin reveals the powerful presence of the squares, a physical presence given to the public without any other artistic distraction. There are no symbolic features behind the squares. They are exactly what they represent: squares. Nothing more, nothing less. The hidden emotion of the creator invites the viewer to react.  Â Olivia NiÅiÅ, curator Drumul pÄtratelor  Simple forme geometrice epurate de orice ÃncÄrcÄturÄ metaforicÄ. Accentul cade pe materiale. Egalitate Åi echilibru. Reprezentare rece. RepetiÅie. PuÅin ÃnseamnÄ mai mult.  LucrÄrile tinerei sculptoriÅe croate DeÅa PetriÄiÄ Vlahutin corespund tuturor acestor trÄsÄturi menÅionte mai sus, caracteristice artei minimale, bine-cunoscutÄ Ãn anii 1960-70 Ãn spaÅiul occidental. DeÅa PetriÄiÄ Vlahutin a absolvit Academia de Arte Frumoase din Zagreb, clasa pofesorului PeruÅko BogdaniÄ Ãn anul 2006 Åi are cÃteva lucrÄri publice Ãn Zagreb. Este o minimalistÄ contemporanÄ autenticÄ, Ãn aceste vremuri post post-moderne, respectÃnd cu fidelitate regulile Åi principiile minimalismului la nivel de concept Åi abordare formalÄ. Artista lucreazÄ cu materiale clasice Åi uneori scumpe fÄrÄ dovada lucrului manual, pentru un impact estetic direct. Are o viziune impresionantÄ asupra sculpturilor de mari dimensiuni destinate spaÅiilor publice. The path of the squares/Drumul pÄtratelor este Ãn fapt povestea pÄtratelor urmÄritÄ prin desene, modele Åi rezultatul final Ãn obiect. Cu o compoziÅie matematicÄ, DeÅa PetriÄiÄ Vlahutin dezvÄluie prezenÅa puternicÄ a pÄtratelor, o prezenÅÄ fizicÄ oferitÄ publicului fÄrÄ nicio altÄ distragere artisticÄ. Nu existÄ caracteristici simbolice Ãn spatele pÄtratelor. Sunt exact ceea ce reprezintÄ: pÄtrate. Nimic mai mult, nimic mai puÅin. EmoÅia ascunsÄ a creatoarei invitÄ receptorul sÄ reacÅioneze.   Â Olivia NiÅiÅ, curatoare  Olivia Nitis art critic&curator e-mail: [email protected] phone: 0747491279 http://olivia.experimentalproject.ro www.perspectiveproject.ro _______________________________________________ Nettime-ro mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ro --> arhiva: http://amsterdam.nettime.org/
