The Third Paradise by Michelangelo Pistoletto at Trent
Ugo Morelli.
E 'frankly exciting for those who had the good fortune to study and reflect with a student of the psyche and the human experience as Luigi Pagliarani find that a great artist Michelangelo Pistoletto which takes as its basis, to conceive of the Third Heaven, just by 'navel.
What does the navel, you might ask. Well, for Pagliarani the navel was a tangible sign of their common origin, the participation of everyone to the same fate. The navel is indeed proof that we are all children. We were and are popular in the billions and billions planet earth and yet we humans are unique, and there is a human being equal to another. So what we have in common? The condition of our children is the factor accomunante: for there must have been born and the proof is, in fact, our navel. For Pistoletto the navel is the crucial point remains the central point.
The presentation Pistoletto Trento's book, The Third Heaven, published by Marsilio in 2010, and the inauguration of the exhibition of his work and secular multi-faith temple at Chapel Vantini, are an important opportunity to meet and talk with one of the items more expressive and original contemporary art world.
Recent work, but in many ways all the way artistic Pistoletto, can be read in light of a question: will be able, contemporary woman and man, to come to an awareness of their condition on planet earth that will lead to self-founded a civilization and harmonious with nature livable? According Pistoletto the creativity that is characteristic of man can go beyond the boundaries of art and may be responsible for the creation of the Third Heaven. In this sense, the Third Heaven is an evolutionary step in which the human mind finds ways to cope with nature's intelligence. The entire project is engaged in research and experience Cittadellarte, a reality created by Pistoletto in Biella in the '90s, and became the programmatic vision. A
Cittadellarte experts and researchers working with a multidisciplinary approach and linked to different contexts of social life. The focus is to transform the present in a possible future and livable. Dialogue with the Last Judgement painted by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, Pistoletto defines its mirror fresco, commissioned by the artist, who intends to put humanity before itself the "Judgement" in the current time. The invitation is the assumption of responsibility by both the artist that by each person to become involved in shaping Third Heaven on earth, here and now. Just as the symbol of the Third Heaven is represented the union between nature and artifice, both crucial for human existence on the planet, in the perspective of male and female live together to create an awareness of the fact that we can become the founders of our experience. "If we understand the biological function of the parents," Pistoletto writes in his book, "you may also encounter the policy that gives rise to opposite poles of a balanced domestic administration of the entire society."
Nothing of hope and metaphysical in the Third Heaven, but an invitation to a responsible transformation covering all areas of human life and the energies of all mental and practices to achieve the balance between nature and artifice, reason and emotion, individual and society public and private, global and local levels. The human being is invited by Pistoletto to take responsibility for his sign and his signature, his presence in the world.
The reflection on the responsibility of the artist is a declaration of commitment compared to what art can do to promote the emergence of a consciousness of ourselves in a position to plan a future civil and livable. Integration between art and science is part of this design. This is the second Pistoletto to integrate art and science with the various sectors of the social structure such as production, economics, politics, education and communication so as to herald a new classicism. A classic no longer seen as a phenomenon exclusive to Western culture, but as a practice of balance and proportion, which is shared by the entire human race. Humanity is the second Pistoletto, faced with a veritable mirror that reflects its location. That take is probably the most important choice when there is a man. We can look in the mirror reflecting the history of what we lived and create a new Renaissance.
Each field experience is seen as crucial and language, effective as its artistic signs, makes the book Pistoletto a word of advice for today's humanity and his destiny. This represents a shift from wealth as sharing, how to sustain production and exchange in a global dimension. It considers the survival of populations in relation to the containment and education is recognized as the primary means of social transformation. Pistoletto considers democracy as a balance between differences and freedom as a generator of responsibility, to think about art as spirituality and principles of a new morality.
The symbol of the Third Heaven embraces the entire human community, as the multi-faith and secular temple that will be exposed to Trento. The installation consists of five sections arranged like flower petals around a central element. Each section has one of the symbols of major religions, from the Tables of the Law of the Jewish tradition, the bust of Christ of Christianity, from the prayer rug facing Mecca, Islam to Buddhism the lotus flower, which adds a secular space represented by the Third Heaven, what people can create by themselves for themselves. The Cubic Meter of Infinity, a work of Pistoletto 1966, is at the center and consists of six mirrors with the reflective surface to the inside. The large number of reflections offers us the image of a shared manifold that is both opportunity and plan for mankind today.
