Â

Prezentare artist:

LILIANA BASARAB la Facultatea de Arte din IaÅi

str. Sarariei 189

Â

miercuri, 19 februarie 2011, orele 14-16

ÃntÃlnire la Sala "Istoria Åi teoria artei"

Â

Titlul:

Castigatori si invinsi / Capcane si drumuri batatorite

Proiecte vizuale colaborative

Â

Liliana Basarab va vorbi in special despre proiectele
sale colaborative desfasurate in perioada 2003-2010, despre asteptarile si
capcanele acestui gen de proiecte.

Â

Â

"In
anumite proiecte ale mele, lucrarea finala se bazeaza pe ideea de vot 'democratic'.
Si daca initial se pare ca lucrarile se adreseaza unui public cat mai larg, pas
cu pas, sunt din ce in ce mai putini 'participanti', ca in final sa fie un
singur 'castigator'. 

Â

Limitarea proiectului pe
parcursul procesului creativ, cvasi-ratarea generozitatii sale initiale,
insotita de o critica asumata a proiectelor colaborative - sunt cateva din
ideile care vor puncta aceasta prezentare. Proiectele artistice pot fi
realizate in orice context, dar fiecare context in parte determina produsul
vizual final. Si-atunci: Care e 'puterea'
pe care si-o poate asuma artistul? Cata 'putere'
mai poate avea el? Ce fel de 'putere'/independenta/autonomie
isi doreste sau isi poate dori? Care e itinerariul unei lucrari de arta in
proiectul participativ, cum se construieste ea?

Â

Reciclarea permanenta, critica
si ironica a simbolurilor (de la 'frumusete' la 'adevar', la 'normalitate' sau 'individualism'),
transpunerea vizuala a conceptelor abstracte si mecanismele de reprezentare
concreta a acestor abstractiuni, cautarea unor noi modalitati de transpunere a
conceptelor abstracte in limbaj vizual, conceptele supuse schimbarii, dar care
in esenta raman aceleasi, acestea sunt punctele centrale in cautarile mele
creative.

Â

O parte din lucrarile mele se
bazeaza pe procesul creativ si se materializeaza ca rezultat al suprapunerii de
straturi ale diverselor stadii ale acestuia." (Liliana Basarab)

Artistâs talk:

LILIANA BASARAB at the University of Arts in Iasi 

Â

Wednesday, February 19, 2011, hours: 14-16

'Art History and Theory' Room

Â

Title:

Winner and losers/Traps and walked paths,

Collaborative projects, 2003-2010

Â

"In
some of my works based on human interaction process, the final outcome is
structured around the idea of âdemocratic voteâ. If, initially the work seems
to be addressing a broad audience, gradually less and less participants are
involved, leading to a âwinnerâ.

The narrowing down of the project
during the building process, a failure of the initial generosity accompanied by
a critique of the collaboration based projects are some of the ideas to be
discussed in this presentation.

The
projects can be realized in any context but each context will determine the
final visual outcome. And then: Where is the power that an artist can wish for?
Is there any power left? What kind of power/independence can she/he wish for?
Which are the building mechanisms of an art project? And what are the stages of
negotiation?

Â

The
permanent recycling of symbols has always played a paramount role in my work
and made me always attempt and search for ways of translating abstract concepts
into a visual language; those concepts are changing and yet are being more or
less the same. Therefore my works become these slow
and long process based projects, materialized as the result of a multitude of
layers between different stages within the artistic production." Â(Liliana Basarab)
