Sebastian Moldovan in dialog cu Razvan Ion :

O ROSIE ARE INTOTDEAUNA NEVOIE DE UN BASTON

07 Octombrie, 19.00

Gradina ta de rosii, dorinta ta de a crea un spatiu de creatie
divina, planta careia nu ii poti controla evolutia, tu care exploatezi
aproape obsedant perfectiunea in instalatiile si obiectele tale. Pare
nevoia de a lasa macar o data la voia intamplarii dezvoltarea operei
tale. insa te opresti la proiect, la schita de ansamblu. Va deveni
pana la urma o realitate curajul subconstient al lipsei de control?

Spatiul de creatie divina este pentru mine un spatiu de rearanjare
(divin de naturala) a elementelor intr-un sistem. Il gasesc benefic
pentru ca pot sa invat despre aceasta rearanjare si pot sa intervin /
interactionez cu ea - pana la urma asta fac eu ca artist: rearanjez
elemente in diferite sisteme - constient de numarul infinit de
interactiuni intre parti, constient ca nu pot sa le controlez sau
macar sa le cunosc pe toate. De aceea tind sa ma intorc la o lucrare
de multe ori inainte sa spun gata. Pe de alta parte, am inteles un
lucru foarte important: daca e sa compar o lucrare cu un sistem ale
carui elemente interactioneaza, atunci e destul sa gasesc un numar
(mic) de elemente pe care le pot controla, sa alcatuiesc sistemul si
sa-i dau drumul in lume - el urmand sa evolueze in modul cel mai
natural, interactionand cu alte sisteme - vezi public, critica,
vanzari, notorietate sau cutremure si inundatii.. Asta e teoria mea
care se verifica cu "End of Paris" - lucrarea m-a parasit de cativa
ani si a evoluat in directii pe care nu le-am dictat si poate nici nu
le cunosc. (Extras dintr-un dialog realizat de Razvan Ion cu Sebastian
Moldovan pentru PAVILION - journal for politics and culture, 2009)

Sebastian Moldovan In dialogue with Razvan Ion :

A RED TOMATO ALWAYS NEEDS A WALKING STICK

07 October, 19.00

Your tomato garden, your desire to create a space of divine
creation, the plant whose evolution you cannot control, you exploit
perfection almost obsessively in your installations and objects. It
seems to be the need to leave to chance, at least for one time, the
development of your artwork. However you stop at the project, at the
general sketch. Will the subconscious courage of the lack of control
eventually become a reality?

To me, the space of divine creation is a space of a (divinely
natural) reorganization of the elements in a given system. I find it
favorable because I can learn about this reorganizing and I can
interfere / interact with it - after all, this is what I do as an
artist: I reorganize elements in various systems - aware of the
infinite number of interactions between parts, aware that I cannot
control or at least know them all. And that's why I tend to come back
on a work many times before saying 'it's done'.

On the other hand, I understood a very important thing: if I were to
compare one of my works with a system whose elements interact, then it
would be enough to find a number (minimum) of elements which I can
control, to build the system and deliver it (set free) to the world -
then it would evolve in the most natural way possible, interacting
with other systems - see public, critics, sales, notoriety or
earthquakes and floods. That is my theory that verifies itself with
the "End of Paris" - the work that has left me for some years and has
evolved in directions that I haven't dictated and maybe don't even
know.
