Otelo In Roma

21/02/2025: ARTISTS' ZOO. The Macro is an excellent cultural space, but I didn't like these ateliers much. The idea of ​​an artist working inside an air-conditioned glass cube seems to me to be something that lends itself to another type of reflection. Not the painter at the heart of creation, but the vision of a whole that makes us think of art as something that we want to cage and circumscribe. Not the artist who transforms the world but creation as a small mental and vital space in everyone's mind: the caged tiger does not own the territory. The meaning of these ateliers is therefore valid, but in a direction that is completely different from the one conceived, and it matters little if similar ideas also exist in Paris and elsewhere. The concept of the artist disturbed in his concentration who however receives vital stimuli is different, just as the idea of ​​the painter who works in his back shop or who while painting welcomes buyers of his paintings into the laboratory, who perhaps do not see what he is working on, is different. True creation is a process in the dark. The birth of humanity requires its dark room, the 'great miracles' occur in hiding, so is the genesis of any creation.
