«CONVERTING A CITY IN POSTCARDS».
CONSTRUCTION SITE
Pedantic brooding over the production of objects- visual aids, toys, or books- that are supposed to be suitable for children is folly. Since the Englightenment this has been one of the mustiest speculations of the pedagoges. Their infatuation with psychology keeps them from perceiving that the world is full of the most unrivalled objects for childish attention and use. And the most specific. For children are particulary fond of haunting any site where things are being visibly worked upon. They are irresistibly drawn by the detritus generated by building, gardening, housework, tailoring, or carpentry. In waste products they recognize the face that the world of things turn directly and solely to them. In using these things they do not so much imitate the works of adults as bring together, in the artefact produced in play, materials of widely differing kinds ia a new, intuitive relatioship. Children thus produce their own small world must be kept in mind if one wishes to create things specially for children, rather than let one,s adult activity, trough is requisites and instruments, find its own way to them.
Walter Benjamin
«We will go to the market as merchants to sell our doods, or maybe, like that storyteller in a Damascus Café, to sell dreams or relate visual poems, like in a stand post in silk route, unraveling the laberint that time, in its skein of sticky threads, that have deposited as stratum on the wind, infront to the mountais, that here, minds all»
«If Photography itself is a simulacrum of life, phisical life, Postcard becomes, then, its physicity. Lacking of any artistic content, if we refering to classical Postcard, becoming practical object, gives it an entity that photography has lost in its function of simulacrum or representation. Somehow, it comes back to its real entity condition and daily object that contains a concrete function, valid entity, existing, independent, anonymous. If we turn round to all this, in a transposition of all values, transforming an exhibition of artpieces in a Postcards exhibition, converting them in the real Artpieces , decreased its size, a trip to the very small; lilliput inscribed in reality. Real Postcards, for writing and sending, in that moment, too, they loose however its function of an artistic object exposed to market speculation, taken out them in its simplicity and functionality to all the exclusivity and formwork or Modern Art World. We took out from Logos and expose them as simple daily objects. Postcards with his normal Postcards prices.
«Converting a work of Art in a everyday object, as a Postcard, happens everyday in all museums of the world, accesing so, to a miniature posesion of a work of Art by minimun cost. Now!, if we converted this daily objects, affordable, in the pieces of Art, What we are doing is a «Tiny Revolution».
«The thruth is that i Love antic Postcards, all in them fester for my poetry. Even the cars become a rear objects full of beauty, in that antic Postcars. Her satured and pastel colors are often fantastic, more than realistic, the image exposed there, generally landscape. What a simple landscape Can be to, impeccably framed, which denotes a professional look an a blameless behind them. The make us to travel accompanied by a imaginary friend to a remote places and give as the tale of another anonimus lifes. The signature that finish their writings are drawings trapped on time».
