Descriere:
Încă din anii 70, Matt Mullican este creatorul unui sistem semiotic privat care acoperă întregul univers. De la cosmologie la psihologie, de la infinitezimal la gigantesc, signalistica sa idiosincratică explorează existența, conștiința, nașterea, moartea, violența, dragostea.
Matt Mullican este unul dintre primii prestidigitatori vizuali ai ceea ce noi cunoaștem acum drept „icon”.
Transcendența este o năzuință de substrat a acestei construcții conceptualiste paradoxale, care are creștinismul doar ca fundal recesiv.
În enciclopedia sa signalistică, comunicarea informației este transfigurată spiritual.
În enciclopedia sa signalistică, comunicarea informației este transfigurată spiritual.
Tot din anii 70, Ion Grigorescu a generat o rețea de acțiuni cu realizări artistice și poziționări sociale care au circumscris cu mijloacele aparent precare același teritoriu – al spiritualității.
Enciclopedia sa de gesturi provocatoare, alfabetul său de forme tacit protestatare și limbajul său critic ininteligibil au vizat progresiv un teritoriu interior al experienței religioase, mistice.
Pictura murală de biserici, icoanele și proiectele sociale religioase au devenit în timp tot mai pregnante în conturul său estetic.
Și Matt Mullican și Ion Grigorescu s-au apropiat în întreaga lor operă, parcă de-a-ndoaselea, de orizonturi metafizice, prin text, desen, pictură, performance, fotografie, video. Prin numeroase tehnici avantgardiste prin care păreau că tocmai se îndepărtează.
Această întâlnire îi surprinde, unul lângă altul, pe acest drum pe care au ajuns din direcții opuse. (Erwin Kessler, curator)

Description:
Since the 70s, Matt Mullican is the creator of a private semiotic system covering the whole universe. From cosmology to psychology, from evanescent to titanic, his idiosyncratic sign language explores existence, consciousness, birth, death, violence, love.
Matt Mullican is one of the first visual prestidigitators of what we nowadays know as icon.
Transcendence is a latent desire of a paradoxical conceptualist construction, which contains Christianity only as a recessive gene.
In his encyclopedia of signs, the communication of information is spiritually transfigured.
Since the same 70s, Ion Grigorescu generated a network of actions with artistic stakes and social positioning that – through seemingly precarious means – charted the same territory, that of spirituality.
His encyclopedia of provocative gestures, his alphabet of tacitly remonstrant shapes and his unintelligible critical language had progressively mapped an inner territory of religious, mystical experience.
Mural painting from churches, the icons and socially religious projects kept growing in importance in his esthetic system.
Throughout their entire work, both Matt Mullican and Ion Grigorescu approached – apparently in spite – metaphysical horizons, through text, drawing, painting, performance, photography, video. Through various avant-garde media that seemed to deepen their gap with metaphysics. This dialogue brings them together, showing them on this road they reached from opposite directions.
