Transcending the Understanding: September 2012

"Introduction"

As a consequence of the iconoclastic turmoil that stormed through every area of artistic activity during the past century, we have witnessed drastic transformations of discourse, as well as mutations and multiplication of narratives - which, stripped of their externally imposed 'purpose', have begun to realize fictional, as well as actual roles in bringing deeper affective-cognitive ties to the surface, as well as mercilessly severing them.

Modern art is non-conformist - unrestrained, drunk on freedom, fighting against the slavery under the dictatorship of 'meaning' and is, as such, often declared 'impossible to understand' by those unwilling to tear away the veil of safety from their eyes, the veil which obscures the view into the deeper, intimate spheres of reality, idiosyncratic foundations of every human activity, as well as the primal need to become the creators of the world around us and bravely engrave our individuality in it by way of our creations.

This blog aims to approach the modern art from the place of immense respect that such a feat deserves, and open the minds of the viewers to the endless expanses of hidden layers of meaning invisible to those casting a mere superficial glance at modern art.

Uvodna riječ "Art kritičara":

Kao posljedica ikonoklastičkih previranja na svim umjetničkim poljima u proteklome stoljeću, svjedočili smo drastičnim transformacijama diskursa kao i mutacijama i multiplikacijama narativa, koji su, ogoljeni od eksternalno nametnute 'svrhe', počeli ostvarivati fiktivne kao i stvarne uloge u iznašanju dubljih afektivno-kognitivnih poveznica, kao i kidanju istih.

Moderna umjetnost je nekonformistička, nesputana, opijena slobodom i opire se ropstvu diktature 'shvaćanja' te je kao takva, često proglašavana 'nerazumljivom' od strane onih koji nerado odbacuju veo sigurnosti koji im zapriječuje pogled u dublje, intimne sfere pojavne realnosti, idiosinkratične temelje ljuskog djelovanja kao i praiskonsku potrebu da i sami postanemo tvorci svijeta oko sebe te svoju individualnost hrabro i upečatljivo urežemo u Svijet putem svojih kreacija.

Ovaj blog nastoji modernoj umjetnosti prići sa strane respekta koji tako veliki poduhvat zaslužuje, te otvoriti um slučajnih promatrača prema bespućima skrivenog značenja nevidljivog površnom shvaćanju umjetnosti....
