Interesting thoughts Gregory Revzin .<!--~ one ~ ->

If you accidentally, from time to time, starting somewhere in the depths of the soul to worry that you do not understand modern art (which, for example, tend to me), then do not worry. The fact that you do not understand, just is an indication that you understand it, and the opposite is true. If you understand it, it means that it is not the original artist, in fact, largely repeating your personality, and therefore of little value. It is possible to understand what the artist says, is to disqualify him sign.

Second - is the idea of symbolization. It assumes that the direct embodiment of a matter of Genesis does not work and the artist uses indirect symbols. They can be arbitrary (and not very cultural coding system) and involuntary (metaphorical, analogical, psychological). The viewer performs some work on deciphering the contents of the artistic message, and sometimes finds: that he was not considered a symbol, just them and is open symbolic archetypes in themselves and in the universe, and all somehow expands your horizons. This is important and nice, but basically works when some basic similarities in the systems of symbolism between artist and audience is present from the outset.

That is the purpose statement is not that someone understood something, but on the contrary, that no one understood anything.

I think that we, art historians, it is necessary to adjust the position on the subject of that art produces a new understanding of the world, a new look, and this valuable. The situation is exactly the opposite. The art of producing a new misunderstanding of the world, a new waiver to look at him and join with anyone to communicate on this. The most valuable is saying: "Come on you ..." and it is a new articulation of this position is an art event. Moreover, it is absorbed from art related fields - architecture, or, say, movies.

Of course, this question - how can you sell misunderstanding? But basically it's even easy. Do something you do not understand, but bought it, and it is already yours. Money can not overcome the misunderstandings that make it possible to understand, and that can assign incomprehensible. Here, say, modernist architecture can not like it, but if it's yours, it is quite another matter. I bought it - and that you have something of their own do not understand. Well then will deal. General lack of understanding of something in itself - it is a normal human condition, even the creative and generous. Franklin Roosevelt about Samos senior put it this way: "Maybe he and son of a bitch, but it's our son of a bitch". That is the moment of assignment took questions misunderstanding. This may be a universal formula of the artist's position in the market. How would he be son of a bitch, but make it his own, and all questions they withdraw.

In the U.S., underneath all the questions sovr.iskusstva was drawn serious theoretical basis (my italics).

"pertseptualizm>" (from the Latin. Percepcio - perception) was created by us, by analogy with conceptualism. <Pertseptualizm> is the successor of surrealism, and at the same time, based on modern philosophy, "adjusted" under the theory of relativity and agrees that, very often the universe ruled by a small, discreet case at the time, as statistics is losing its rights.
 
Despite the fact that <pertseptualizm> is still in its infancy, it is possible to identify some key points that are its hallmarks. Perceptual art and literature from surrealism took primacy of personal perceptions and based on these associations of the artist, but from the post-modern philosophy - the realization of reality escapes from attempts to clothe it in the rigid frame, given once and for all. Such organic synthesis provides a large field of fantasy, without tying it to nabivshim nauseam cliche images, characters and plots. I want to emphasize that pertseptualist differs from surrealist primarily to the fact that bases its artistic world of real objects, not the fantasies of the subconscious. Subconscious is the only link between reality and fantasy. That is, the subconscious is a thread that leads from one area to another. But it should be emphasized that the mentioned synthesis of reality and fiction is not created with the help of the subconscious, and conscious work with the help of the artist over the product.

Pertseptualisty see the world as a metaphor, splitting into countless other metaphors. Naturally, in this case, each object can be understood and to transfer millions of different ways.

From the title of direction can be seen that it is the perception of the writer, artist, in a word, the creator, is the root of perceptual understanding of art and literature. That is, immediate perception, but not an idea, image, idea, meaning or morality seems to us that rock on which we must build the artwork. therefore primarily <pertseptualizm> involves the creation of images that are generally a microcosm of a sufficiently autonomous, but did not prevent the perception of other ideas.

As is known, the perception of ideas there are exactly the same as the perception of objects. Of course, most people do not create the ideas themselves, and use ready-thought-cliché. Thus, in works of art are displayed not so much the idea, as, again, the perception artists of these ideas. Honest creators should go to the end and admit to yourself that it does not work in a small degree of perceptual, he wants to or not. Our task in this regard amounts to getting <pertseptualizma> to its logical conclusion: the adoption of the thesis on the primacy of perception of ideas to the very idea of .

Of course, <pertseptualizm would not have been primarily a literary movement, if kept solely on perceptions. Of course, no matter how valuable not seem to us of perception, they find the imagery only when they process the brain and will be built a chain of associations, obeying their inner meaning. Perception, therefore, constitute the raw material and at the same time are the primary about everything that one can be created by the artist.
