Lucio Fontana - Selecting the best Strategy

Inadequacy
Concepts such as art and life must mix with one another because there is no reason for not separating human work and the human. Life is art (creative energy sexual) Who said that? The most interesting art is that is about life, that reveals different experiences, recounts specifics, curiosities, or viewpoints.

In the realm of life it is essential to reject the idea of a flawlessness that is to be achieved (in response to expectations of this sort the only form of art that we can think of is the cinema). The nature of error is the essence of being Human The stumbling block into which we have all fallen at one time or another: impulsive judgment, impulsiveness, fear or anger, the unending need for control and security bad choices. Don't you dare say you've never made any of these mistakes?

Open: a new perspective to view the world from
If we fall, we injure ourselves more or less and are inclined to judge the fall as a mistake, or to make the error as a result of the expectations we have of ourselves and other people. The wound is actually the point where we can discover the truth. It is from here that we stop taking refuge in the false notion of perfect (which if it were such shouldn't be hurting) and examine the things that are broken: we look through the wound and examine our own self-image.

Fontana cut with the awareness the possibility of opening up, breaking or or tearing as destruction is often the most powerful creative action, and particularly in a culture in which, even from a young time, we are ensconced in a powerful, imprinted system of beliefs and models. It's not a coincidence that Fontana declared in 1963 during the course of an interview Nerio Minuzzo that:

"The critiques always maligned me, but I never worried about it, I went ahead anyway and I didn't take anyone's salute. Over the years, I was called "the one who has holes' with a little pity. However, today I can see that my holes and cuts have a cult following, are accepted, and even have practical applications. In theatres and bars they make ceilings with holes. Since today, as you can see, even the people on the street can appreciate the latest forms. It is the artists, unfortunately, who understand more '.

When Fontana speaks of street people, he is evoking the imagery of imperfection, in which the hole represents a form like every other, that the emergence of life can be seen. Fontana isn't afraid of dust nor the violent nature of his creative work: he throws tar on the sculpture of a man , and names it "Black Man".

Years later, the cut transforms into the conquer of space, as an overthrow of sculpture and painting through an entirely new space that combines both and a break with verticality to create the possibility of crossing.

This palpitation, inhaling and exhaling of the canvas is reminiscent from afar more sophisticated and bourgeois sense of the work Gina Pane later performed on her skin. The gesture is nonetheless the immortal character in the context of art is destined to be destroyed. The wound and the cut represent path, boundary and exchange. The artist herself opens the canvas by splitting it in two and declares it to be finite. the holes transform into black holes, which give an illusion of depth. They also reveal the infinite that we will never know.

Wait: new things we do not yet know
Fontana described the cuts as "Waits," which are openings that allow new and unique things emerge that we don't are aware of.

When we commit a mishap or injure the other, we have a waiting time before the response. The first reaction is the shock of the error and the failure to over, then figuring out what path to take to make up for it or get away with it; then we wait for the effects of that fracture, that mistake and the possibility of a new and great source. But it's not.

Many people do not understand (and understand) this philosophy since they constantly judge the way that human beings and reality ought to be, and how they should be compared to the dual nature of the canvas. We continue to defend with all our might the right ways, the best way to present and function in the world, so so that we resort to rules that eventually define the concept of normativity.

Nothing could be more incoherent. In our belief that we are experts, we apply our yardstick to every organism and ecosystem around the globe However, we see it from a narrow and biased perspective that has nothing to do with reality. Anthropocentrism, but also personal interpretations of the other which are often not the most accurate.

Accept: no perfection in the absolute sense.
The same is true of this society that wants us to be better at all cost, but without considering that, instead of increasing standards, we need to become more accepting of the world in the present. Do we accept pain? Do we accept death? Accept the bodies of others? Do we accept diversity? And, most importantly, once accepting, do we dignify?

Most of the time is it that we are able to hide what does not coincide with the "perfect" of our own little planet or the entire universe. This causes us to be feel angry, shocked, and disgusted to be pushed aside, or and swept under the rug, and so we manifest the very imperfection that we really are, yet refuse to accept.

Understanding one's own limitations is essential and so is understanding the interconnectedness of everything that is the world system: either we are ALL put in a position where we can give our best, or there is no reason to compete or exert effort to be put into it, unless for the motive of fostering inequality. It's all very well and good that some after much effort have made it as a result, just like those who have been so lucky. However, in a larger sense, constantly stretching the boundaries a little further it's a perfect' in an impermanent setting; there is no "perfection" in an absolute sense.

Can this be a reality?

Cut: let the truth in
We can conclude that Fontana tried, because from the beginning, he resisted the straightforward paths of success, preferring to try out the untested and the uncertain, that is to say, he renounced the pretense of being the only that was successful, he pursued the research path that led him to uncover some truths.

In my personal perspective, Fontana is the one who tears open the veil and lets the light shine through, even if the black sails are obscured in the background. A spatial artist and one of the forerunners of the art that is understood not only as a work but as a gesture, which is a gesture that revolves around and as a result of action on space, performance as the activation of a narrative, and this is the way it is practised today.

To  https://blog.openartimages.com/2022/11/25/open-wait-accept-and-cut-pain-like-lucio-fontana/ , his cuts illuminate all these, opening new perspectives to art, new points of view on the world and also new questions. The result of this wound is more than pain: the wound reveals the fragility, mortality, and fragility. The wound makes us think as well as make us doubt the way we think, and this is essential to keep our feet in the right place. As difficult as it is to suffer and as much as it is in a perfect story of existence it would be wonderful (and just) to gain knowledge only through positive reinforcements, as long that we as a nation do not want to be a part of the suffering of others as well like our own, we're bound to remain in the unsolved and incomplete reality.

So let's enjoy the cinema and the happy endings it brings, its perfection so taken for granted and which we mistakenly end up taking as a model for life as the visual arts contrary to what they appear, are the daughters of suffering, and any artist, in order to tell a piece of truth, has had to go through the pain.
