WHAT IS ART? IMPRINT OF TESTAMENT: "ADDIO ALLA RAGIONE (GOODBYE TO REASON)", AUCTION IN PROGRESS

What is art?
It is a condition that sees the inevitable capitulation of pre-existences, the overwhelming domination of the ambiguous collection of autobiographical data and 'art as document', opposed and interspersed, broken, exposed to the listing of moments in succession, in which the aesthetic forms laboriously survive. with difficulty to the totalizing documentation of the current era. Art is raped in the alternative by the news of the health bulletins. It arranges the form in the collation, in the indexing, in the cataloging and organization of useless forms as opposed to useful one, in the juxtaposition of surfaces recognized as pseudo contrasts characterizing symbols, etymes, families of words that have gone into disuse and neologisms of virtuality.
What remains of this visual and psychological digestion process, the second step in the nutrition of visual culture (which is mechanical), transforms and reduces the nutritional principles taken in complexity, pouring out complex structures, destined to leave a pre-formed imprint.
We have thus produced: the conceptual and narrative collection of objects witnessing artistic life with cuts, demonstrations of lacerations and stitching, as a recomposition of the organic fabric of the unknown art world as the artist body.
