Installation (by Luciana Rondolini)
On tumblr :: [Via Sweetstation]
Rondolini cosmic calamity was a topical version of tempus fugit, a metaphor for the destructive power of time. Working directly on one of the slogans of the call, ie, thinking the show in its spatial and temporal dimensions, Rondolini installed on a bed of light a large water ice was slowly melting. By the time the fair closed, a piece of ice floating in a large pool. The next day, stood another equal sized icy weather to devour.
For its colors and apparent triviality, the work of remembering the huge sculptures Rondolini pop Oldenburg (in fact, the Swede installed some years ago an ice cream cone of about 10 meters on a building of the main street of Cologne in Germany, which while it was steel and plastic, have fallen and melting simulated on the windows of the Neumarkt Gallery). This reference pop away to work ontological interpretations. Hyperbole has been one of the basic strategies of advertising. And, in a show where the works are objects for sale, greed and speed that melts the ice seemed to refer mainly to the consumer world.
Calamidad cósmica de Rondolini era una versión del tópico tempus fugit, una metáfora sobre el poder destructivo del paso del tiempo. Trabajando directamente sobre una de las consignas de la convocatoria, es decir, pensar la feria en sus dimensiones espaciales y temporales, Rondolini instaló sobre una cama de luz un gran helado de agua que iba derritiéndose lentamente. Para cuando la feria cerraba, un pedazo de hielo flotaba en un gran charco. Al otro día, se colocaba otro helado de iguales dimensiones para que el tiempo lo devorara.
Por sus colores y aparente nimiedad, la obra de Rondolini recordaba las enormes esculturas pop de Oldenburg (de hecho, el sueco instaló hace algunos años un cono de helado de unos 10 metros sobre un edificio de la calle principal de Colonia, en Alemania, que, si bien era de acero y plástico, simulaba haberse caído y derretirse sobre los ventanales de la Neumarkt Gallery). Esta referencia pop aleja a la obra de interpretaciones más ontológicas. La hipérbole ha sido una de las estrategias básicas de la publicidad. Y, en una feria en donde las obras son objetos a la venta, la voracidad y velocidad que derrite al helado parecía referirse, sobre todo, al mundo del consumo.

“Have I ever showed you my little blackamoor heads from Cartier with their enameled turbans? I’m told it’s not in good taste to wear blackamoors anymore, but I think I’ll revive them.”
