#arscombinatoria

Inoue Takeshi, B·Group lnc. (Advertising Poster) Tokyo, ca. 1973.

Esta noche, con la actuación de #arscombinatoria en la Iglesia de las Concepcionistas Franciscanas de la Puerta Valencia ha concluido el X Ciclo de #CantoGregoriano de #Cuenca. Bajo el título "Polifonías y Códices Medievales. Entre conductus, motetes y organas", hemos descubierto una perspectiva y una interpretación completamente distinta del canto medieval. Me parece que ha sido un gran acierto por parte de @cuenca20aniversario recuperar este ciclo. Una maravilla.

The works draw on the traditional function of maps as navigation aids and illustrations of the physical features of a locality, but also to their ability to tell a story and describe a territory subjectively. Where traditional maps intend to record and present accurate representations of a space or topology, these cartographic diagrams document not the territory but the image of this one in order to state that images can replace written narratives and be sufficient carriers of information.          

Moons of Saturn by Alan Knox Just as Edmund Burke would claim greatness of dimension as sublime, the struggle of the imagination to comprehend the seemingly infinite division of matter into ever smaller particles is likewise a cause of sublime feeling in which, “we become amazed and confounded at the wonders of minuteness; nor can we distinguish in its effects this extreme of littleness from the vast itself.” Using macro photography to photograph individual fragments of my Grandfather’s remains, the remnants of cremation may be transformed into an alien, lunar landscape upon which a distant Sun rises and sets. Inspired by some of the earliest known lunar photography, my practice seeks to echo the grand tradition of the Burkian sublime in which all the wonders of the universe may be perceived in the tiniest of particles. From these molecules which are all that remain of my Grandfather, one may perceive the building blocks of the entire universe. (vía (102) Pinterest • El catálogo mundial de ideas)
