Doubt,
skepticism and the philosophical skepticism of the well- meant but
badly realized ideas and actions of protagonists are thus not only
advisable but for self-social-protection in the context of survival
even necessary! With the idea of a 'Shared Space' (visitor: "....oder
die Kunst nicht gelyncht zu werden" - ...or the art not to be lynched)
a stab is taken at protecting the only seemingly auto- nomous
individual
in its social entanglements by a space that is to be used
commonly - and this by the social, moral and psycho- logical ability of
the protagonists to share the fought over habitat equitably out of
reasonable judiciousness. This justified utopia is at the core of life
experience however nothing other but decreed madness with utopian
glimmer of hope for gullible and fatuous people, and those who believe
in the reality of the civil democracy. Only who is
capable to recall the genesis of skepticism evolution-historically as a within the
capitalistic competition accrued consciousness for protection of life
and survival will develop an ability "mit ihrem
{seinem}Wissen um die Bedingtheit der Wahrheit durchs psychologische Individuum"
(with his
knowledge about the conditionality of truth because of being a
psychological individual
who has a psyche)**** to bring to a protective balance the inadequacy of
material and term, a priori imagination and reality a posteriori: to
swing into and to settle, as well as a art- and culture-historical
concept for analyzing psycholo- gical energies of life and art since Aby
Warburg will have to give the measure of beat, Schlegelns* and swinging
- also coming from the etymological term - as motor and motivational
support. Der Takt macht die Musik***** - and with this we are directly within the Protektion Installation of the artist and keen thinker Llaura I. SŸnner.
Stability and lability The art of Laura's thinking, chaffing and designing consist in the ability to invent and put into effect sensual as well as poetical, |
satirical,
humorous but still melancholic if not death-serious objects, sculptures
and installations. Thereby in an act of perception between linguistic
and sensual finding within dialectics of term and material, word and
image the materials, term ap- propriations and the forming combinations
from this are recast to a synthetic imagination: alchemy. The soft
against the hard, the unstable against the steady are turned around and
entangled against the normed tenor. Thus in the aesthetic pretense it
results in an ironic or satiric realism and surrealism (G.F.Gerlach); in the
reflective level the artist philosophically raises and makes visualizes
with this the subject of the failed utopias as well as the question for
meaning, function and essential core of a matter, that is a 'sensing
thing' (S.Tretjakov).
In this creative swinging-into and settling thus swinging and
schlegeln* in indetermination - where according to Walter Benjamin
truth may be located only - the hard to endure flame of tragic comedy
is burning continuously. This artistic method floats like a sword of Damocles above our thinking and our senses and as strategy of artistic exercise (compare: G.F. Gerlach, Kunstforum, vol.76 1984) it is assured brilliant company of Marcel Duchamp, Claes Oldenburg, Sylvie Reno, Bogomir Ecker and Michael Dšrner. The pendulum that strikes and schlegeln* out here is thus fully literally understood an emerging ancient percussion instrument in ornamental decoration which offers us beat with syncope, social sharing and radical cutting as a peaceful and militant instrument at the same time for protection against the decreed madness. "Death for reforms, death for 'small' ideas" the artist announces, because "Wir gehšren einer Zeit an, deren Cultur in Gefahr ist, an den Mitteln der Cultur zu Grunde zu gehen" (we belong to a time where culture is in danger to perish from the means of culture) Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in "Menschliches, Allzumenschliches" (human, too human) in the year 1878 (MA I 520; KGW IV/2, S.336). It is the wrong world of |
