La Biennale di Venezia 2009

This is a part of Pietro Franesi interview at the Opening of La Biennale di Venezia, June 4-6, 2009.

INTERVIEW

I HAVE BEEN TO THE OPENING OF LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA


5 DAYS WERE NECESSARY TO VISIT ARSENALE AND GIARDINI ( NATIONAL PAVILIONS ).
I LIKE THIS EDITION, I LIKE THIS CURATOR.
THIS EDITION IS THE BEST OF THE LAST YEARS.
I LOVE RUSSIAN , POLAND PAVILIONS AND LAMYA HUSSAIN GARGASH ( UAE PAVILION )
I WAS ENCHANTED BY WEIGHT, BY CLASS, BY ELEGANCE, BY BEAUTY, BY REFINEMENT OF THE UKRAINIAN PAVILION.
THE PROCESS OF CHANGE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, DESPITE THE ART AUCTIONS, GALLERIES AND FAIRS, CONTINUES, SLOWLY BUT INEXORABLY.
THE MAIN FACTORS ARE THE TRANSITION FROM THE OBJECT TO THE PROCESS, FROM THE REPRODUCIBILITY TO THE UNIQUENESS, FROM THE DEALER TO THE ARTIST, FROM COMMERCIAL MATERIAL SPACE TO IMMATERIAL SPACE.
YES WE CAN CHANGE THE CONTEMPORARY ART MARKET.
ADVISE TO VISIT THIS EDITION

THANK YOU MR DANIEL BIRNBAUM

Attila Csáji, after several successes all around the world revert whith a solo exhibiton "AGNUS DEI ", curated by Pietro Franesi, in Pécs, Hungary. He is a painter, a graphic artist, a lights artist and a holographer, so he's definable as a “scientist artist” because his art work can comunicate through particular scientific tecniques.

Attila Csáji's art works represent at all the idea of immaterialism, in fact, his installations want return to primitive idea of drawing: the pictograph of the prehistoric age reinterpreted with light. One of the particularity of his works is the contrast between the current world, the dynamism and progress, and the prehistoric painting which represent the first kind of visual expession. With some of most advaced technologies, laser and hologram, he bring at the pubblic primal and pure emotions. Tecnology is utilized for return at primordial sensations, where immaterial surpass material. This apparent antithesis represent, instead, one of strengths of Csáji's art. Csáji doesen't want represent some material object, his works don't would be a copy of reality but new visual creations. He want show a multimedial light sculpture, mobile in time and space also accompained by music. With light art all is possible, every shade of colour, different beam of light, sudden sparkle creating new sensations always different. The shapes created by Csáji with optical effects are always in evolution, every time new. In this case cooperation between science and art allow to raise art from a static material value to a dinamic and free immaterial one.

So dismiss yorself to this primordial sensations.

Good vision.
