The Sudden Irruption of Nothingness
Artist: Marius Tanasescu
June 26 - July 7. 2017
.
Most of the times, embarrassment is a natural response to failure. We are surrounded by situations in which, because of a failure/defeat, the close ones see us, genuinely, as worrying and avoidable characters. The derisory of a failed experience brings with itself the failure of some objects. There are also some artifacts of the fiasco, products of the defeat.
There are times when the artists intrinsically take responsibility for the failure: e.g. John Baldessari’s Wrong (1967), Martin Kippenberger’s Metro-Net (1993-1997) or Bas Jan Ader. In this type of approach, the mistrust in inaccuracy is seen as a negative source. This genre of art works appear in the vicinity of failure, where the paradox is the king, and dogma and safety are sent away. One can find new outlines and paradigms in the space of the moving sand of failure.
Precisely practicing in the territory of nothingness, instability and inconsistency, one can imagine objects and situations which circle other class of concepts, which can be consequently described, ostensibly or allegedly. Requested incidents.
Authentic fake. The unsuccessful completion of fulfillment. Sublime defeat. Lack of commitment. Amateurism. Intentional inconsistency. The vacuity as an expression of failure.
The fortuitous and sudden irruption of nothingness. (Marius Tanasescu)
