| Popis: | I ovaj ćemo Bijenale, kao i nekoliko prethodnih, pamtiti po, kako je naveo jedan kritičar, „raskoraku između filozofske i teorijske dimenzije i banalnosti samog rezultata...” koji je „... toliko velik da se djelo čini apsurdnim.” I doista, između retorike umjetnika, ovogodišnjeg izbornika i samih djela na izložbi, zjapi praznina neusklađenosti. O izložbi ćete malo i ništa doznati iz tumačenja izbornika Ralpha Rugoffa, tek njegove motive koji su ga opredijelili za zanimljiva vremena i pripadnu umjetnost. Uopće ne morate znati za temu i pratiti teorijske sofisterije izbornika da biste pristupili djelima, ali to još i nije najveći problem izložbe. Mala količina doista upečatljivih djela ono je što zabrinjava u mnoštvu izlože- noga. S druge strane, izgubivši centar, baš kao i periferiju (ili možemo obrnuti: sve je danas centar i sve je periferija), suvremena je umjetnost, svjedoči to i Bijenale, izgubila i žarišnost koja je nekada emanirala iz središta događanja, iz jezgre pojave. Potiranje središta i periferije prouzročilo je situaciju u kojoj danas doista nijedna umjetnička pojava, grupa ili pojedinac nisu gravitacijska sila koja privlači ili emanira, a „duh vremena” tek je podsjetnik na prošlo svršeno vrijeme koje se ne vraća, čak ni periodično. We will remember this Biennale, just like a few previous ones, for, as a critic has put it, “a gap between the philosophical and theoretical dimensions on the one hand and the banality of the result on the other” which is “so big that the whole work seems absurd.” Indeed, there is a gap of incongruity between the rhetoric of the artists, this year’s curator, and the exhibited works. One learns very little or nothing from the interpretation of curator Ralph Rugoff, only the motives behind his choice of the interesting times and the related art. One does not even need to know the subject, or to follow the curator’s theoretical sophistries, to approach the artworks, but this is not even the biggest problem of the exhibition. It is the small amount of truly striking artworks among the multitude of exhibits that is upsetting. On the other hand, having lost the centre as well as the periphery (or to put it the other way round: today everything is centre and everything is periphery), contemporary art, as attested by the Biennale, has also lost the focus that once emanated from the centre of events, from the core of the phenomenon. The blurring of boundaries between centre and periphery has created a situation where today, indeed, no artistic phenomenon, group, or individual is a gravitational force that attracts or emanates, while the “spirit of the time” is merely a reminder of a past perfect time that does not return, even periodically. |
