write on the train, surrounded by people who occupy the mind games with the phone so tiny as to be incomprehensible and free newspapers, You know, those sheets of paper that you see to convince you to be updated on what's happening around you.
and reflecting on a paradigm shift. When you look at women who are moving around, there is a mechanism automatically associated with the protagonists of the last TV show or the hottest porn stars (which are the same thing, ultimately). Caparezza calls it the revolution of sex in all . It also speaks Roberto Recchioni , in some ways, I point out in passing. Even if what he identifies as subversion seems rather trivial as a totalizing neurotic perversion (and I say, it is clear, without any bias values. In key psychopathological , rather). In this I feel closer to Shoot . But back on topic.
Alessandro Baronciani is tied to an old paradigm, the romantic / nostalgic. The face of a woman, her hair, his pace him back to the protagonists of old French films. This would be enough to describe the look in his latest book Baronciani The girls in the study of Munari (Black Velvet). This work is an author incapable of telling the present, and a leading unable to live the present . The bookseller in love with the art of Munari and three women at once (or just clear?), Who is the protagonist of the book, seems stuck in an eternal past, made up of memories, nostalgia and melancholy abysmal. Nothing happens in this book . Nothing is not a frame of an event already closed, an eternally present time, but always out of phase.
I grew up between the ideas and symbols Bruno Munari. The first memory is The tales of the phone Gianni Munari Rodari cover page. The second is the monkey Zizi, even today among the games of my son. Then his ideas, his writings on design as a new art form (as a profession Arts), the only, he said, able to combine the aesthetic with the practical. His ideas on creativity, education and texture, yes consistency is The term is most useful to me, the consistency of artistic expression. There is a project underway for over ten years in Reggio Emilia which is owned by Reggio Children that is structured based on his ideas about teaching and education. It can read in these magazines . Are extraordinary, revolutionary and, alas, totally the antithesis of the ideas currently in vogue in the political arena on the school. Munari
do not know if you ever interested in comics, but I think I would have appreciated some developments. As the work of Baronciani, and found its papermaking, which results from an exploration of the artistic possibilities of the master. Work Intelligent, full of love and care.
Munari There is a game that I sometimes still use today, is called + e - (more or less) and is composed of many glossy papers with simple stylized designs. The cards can be stacked and the game is to invent scenarios and different stories depending on the compositions of multiple cards. There is a movie that exemplifies the operation.
Baronciani It is with this game that opens his book. Let's stop here. Baronciani builds on the perspectives of narrative and visual Munari, and proposes the comic. The same ago with some principles, such as troubleshooting, noted that, boh, useful? Maybe. Our mind follows the mysterious paths. Yet this attempt to transform the emotional relationships in design seems to contradict the very essence of the approach of Munari. This pause, hide in the past, it seems a intellectual sentimentality a bit 'sterile . Lacking in cruelty, or concrete, there is a suggestion that intellectual unconvincing. An attempt to force the eye of the Italian creative to subject him to something old, static, monolingual.
Baronciani, on the other hand, made even more personal own style, finding a balance formal rewarding for the reader. Sa move, you know show the fragility of the affections, unable to become adults. But if everything turns blue when his eyes icy and melancholy, in relation to the disease, appears happily delicate and anti-pathetic, in The girls in the study of Munari appear translucent and deafening isolated because of the concreteness' existence. Perhaps this thin film that should raise Baronciani to find a relationship with life that, of course, can dirty, but can also allow a steady development of its expressive potential.
