Vittore Baroni, ITALIA



Vittore Baroni (Viareggio, I) and Günther Ruch (Geneve-Peney, CH) invite you on Saturday May 24th at the festival Creativa 2008 – The place of crossing destinies in Rignano sull’Arno (Florence), at the school plexus in via della Pieve, to draw the unconscious joining them in the obscure action
BLINDRAWING
Günther and Vittore met in the second half of the Seventies inside the international Mail Art circuit, collaborating in various reciprocal and joint projects. The two networkers first met in person in August 1987 at Vittore’s home in Forte dei Marmi. In that occasion they created together a drawing, executed in a few minutes while blindfolded (blindrawing).
Twenty years later, to celebrate their second meeting, Günther and Vittore will again perform together a “blindrawing”, inviting then also the other artists and the audience of Creativa to create a large collective work blindfolded.
The two brief “obscure actions” will have the same lenght of the song Let’s Network Together, composed in 1992 by Le Forbici di Manitù as the hymn of the Decentralized World-Wide Networker Congress, reproposed in the versions of Emma Peel Sons and Teho Teardo (from the double cd Tagliare, 2004).

MONUMENTO A LA GENTE en el PARQUE HUDSON
Como suele recitar Fito Paez: "Lo importante no es llegar; lo importante es el camino."

En el PARQUE HUDSON, el MONUMENTO A LA GENTE (ver VIDEO ) seguirá en evolución, hasta el fin de los tiempos, aunque sea simplemente por acción de la naturaleza.

Justo cuando la producción mundial de petróleo estaría alcanzando su cenit ("La gran emergencia", James Howard Kunstler, Barrabes Editorial), poniendo en marcha el fin de la civilización consumista, en el frente sur del MONUMENTO A LA GENTE comienza a crecer una nueva cumbre (ver http://www.husmeando.com.ar/hudson.13may08.htm), desde donde pronto podrán detectarse las cúpulas de la Catedral de La Plata.

El MONUMENTO A LA GENTE es una pirámide multiforme, de papel, tierra y vegetación. Se trata de un homenaje a todos nosotros, a quienes perderemos nuestra civilización quemando petróleo, gas y carbón.

Adelante con los faroles. Hasta la victoria siempre, … siempre que el automóvil deje de ser tan importante.
