SIMONETTA LUX CÉSAR MENEGHETTI’S DOUBLE EMPHASIS ART/REALITY The double emphasis art/reality specific to César Meneghetti’s work can/must be described also through other opposites: identity /nomadism, crystallisation / flow, otherness/ prejudice, remembrance/oblivion, normality/diversity, boundary/cross-boundary. Because it is precisely there, along these borders, that Meneghetti’s works and his art are fulfilled. It is no coincidence that the split-screen that, amongst the countless linguistic techniques he so knowledgeably uses, might have constituted until now a creation trope in the framework of the double emphasis centred along the border between things and conditions, has been discarded in his most recent innovative work, as if the boundary separating conditions and cultural contradictions had been disregarded. Is that the case? Before this current work, I/O IO È UN ALTRO, the crystallisation of a lengthy and challenging project/ process taken through verifications, César Meneghetti had given the dignity of language to splinters, traces, fragments, narrations, sudden parallelisms between distant and opposing worlds: Italy/Brazil, Europe/America, Africa and European science. And using all the devices now available to art – photography, editing, installation, sculpture, film directing and/or screen writing –, he established an antithesis in distance, bringing to light specific issues, making them universal and narrating them, intercepting them thanks to the nomadic or migrant condition he shares with the artists and men of this globalised world. Among his movies, I’m referring, to Landless/Sem Terra (12’30’, 2001) made with Elisabetta Pandimiglio or the abstract Montages that he has been making since 2000 or, closer to us, K_lab- interacting on the reality interface (2009-2011). Landless/Sem Terra narrates the fictitious / realistic tale of the life of a man who never #18
speaks marked by an exceptional event: his birth in the middle of the sea. Born on a ship crowded with migrants who believed they were going to make their fortune in “Merica”, with its vast arable land, this man finds himself growing up in Brazil where the ruling rural aristocracy had replaced slave manpower with more affordable European wage earners. The scandal of the film is at its start, when the man stops speaking, a man doomed from the first day of his life to seek his land without ever finding it. The inexplicability of his inner flare and the narrative through other voices, the voices of the women who loved him in two different corners of the world, the filming method used in a mode of composition that goes against classical movie-making (it lacks continuity in the story and the script) create expectancy and suspense. This work, that is open from the narrative standpoint, and this cinematographic object with no strict planning – its plot taken from a real event from days long past – provides a window on living conditions in Brazil and conditions shared by many in the world today. In K_lab- interacting on the reality interface, the identification and disjunction of two worlds, that on the surface are communicating but in fact are rigidly locked up inside their own borders, is once again unclear: the successful and productive world of Western science, the world of Africa, Niger, suddenly abandoned to a regression in development and the march of desertification. Meneghetti is called to describe the relationship between these two worlds, on the basis of the extended scientific documentation of the success achieved by the Italian governmental project to block desertification by planting 25 million trees and by building complex irrigation systems through techniques both culturally and effectively created by the local population. The artist’s work does not present any documents, large files or statistics relating to the success achieved by scientists and then discontinued by politicians. With his trans-genre capacity and transmediality, Meneghetti has organised his work in an indivisible semantic unity: it achieves complex artistic unity expressed through different parts that are they themselves distinct works: the projections, sculptures, audio/video installations, video-booths, constituting them. Video-booths have been invented by Meneghetti and involved an original procedure: the protagonists, in this case Nigeriens, are called to speak to us about their ideas of God, Love, life, the future and money, returning to us and universalising life and the views of that distant place that science had helped and politics abandoned. Both the works and the Montages involve building upon himself, i.e. upon his own personal history as an artist film-maker, the editing guided by editing itself (the abstract composition of his own movie fragments), a construction guided by his political and cultural subconscious. The prevailing element that has emerged is his technical mastery in giving some of his montages titles like jump, fade in, sequence shot: it is quite obvious that César Meneghetti is moulded by what he does, learning from his own works. As he himself has written “after all technique, Montage, only provides a cue to talk about something else, to investigate language and diversity in the cultures and worlds I myself #19
have experienced in South America, Great Britain and Italy, in search of a personal, transnational, horizontal identity” . A critical relationship with techniques is evident in this artist ever since his student days. Subconsciously but perceptively, César Meneghetti has, for example, used (in Montage 6 and in Montage 7) a split-screen, with the aim of establishing contemporaneity in time and place, the notion of a merging and indiscernibility of the streets of two cities as different as Sao Paolo in Brazil and Rome or Rome and London. As he himself has pointed out in the interview of 2006, a hyper-non-place, a reality conjured by a specific use of techniques and images are used. The different ways in which media can be used by contemporary artists and formal excellence brought to the limits of abstract art do not disregard the subject, on the contrary, we witness a rediscovery of the centre, a constantly moving centre, a nomadic centre, in an interminable interweaving of individuals, places or environments and so the critical and ethical component becomes a new protocol for art. A new subjectivity lacking expression but having wisdom. When I asked Cêsar Meneghetti to work on and with disabled people, the artist knew he was being called to a new representation of the truth through art; what he did not know was that he would break through the indefinite boundary between reality and representation, leading to a real upheaval in the reality of that condition and in his own reality through a shared creative process. Thanks to the relations set in motion by Meneghetti through a process shared with the disabled participants – and the use of media in educating to freedom, thus to the current concept of art – he brought about this upheaval at the peak of a process of revelation and liberation from a condition of reclusion and discrimination initiated years ago through practical institutional initiatives by the Community of Sant’Egidio, with Acts on the creation of non-differential curricula in schools (Act n.517 of 1977 and Act 270 of 1982), through the creation of businesses and jobs and through the creation of the Art Ateliers: we described these activities in the book written jointly by several authors Con l’arte. Da disabile a persona (With art. From being disabled to being a person). If the intelligence and ability to communicate of people with different physical and neurological disabilities has already been proven, thanks also to the tools of augmentative communication (W.O.C.E. Written Output Communication Enhancement), what more can art and artists do, and how? It wouldn’t be fair to say that Cèsar Meneghetti wasn’t a suitable artist. In I/O_IO È a ALTRO, the central theme of boundaries and the double emphasis persists, but the representation or metaphor of the insoluble contrast between opposite cultural standpoints (present in previous works and persisting in a number of contemporary artists), becomes a real move from one condition to another, a change in condition: it is a major step, it is a revolution, given that I know my diversity, I use my disability and my I\O_ OPERA # 16 _IO È UN IALTRO, fotografia digitale su alluminio 200 m x 180 m in inglese intelligence, I create, make2011-2013 light of things, I communicate. #20
One day, prejudice will die out, if I have suffered I can remember why and I can counter the wall of scorn with my new awareness that it is unfounded. Is it fair to say that change is in the language of art? Yes and no. “Yes - as César Meneghetti has written - we are all part of a single body. I/O, one/zero, (OPERA=05 MINIMAL BIOGRAPHIES) as if the ones and the zeroes were merged and formed a language, as happens with the new media art that is conceptually investigative, technologically innovative and socially/ culturally critical. The media used and the parallelism of I/O (one/zero) bring to the forefront the critical relations between digital culture and general culture (…) In this work, as in the new media, it is important to stay inside a pure flow of images so as to be authentic (…) Our commitment is no longer just to portray but to find a way of de-codifying. By de-codifying we might even change”. No: after the crisis in modern art, artists have gained unlimited opportunities in terms of using, in art, all media and all devices: what is new is only the altermodern taking place in the infinity of media that can be used and processes that can be chosen. Change is only in people, in an endless process of life and art creation. A work and its verification pass each other the baton, in a never-ending progression between the artist and the other that in this work crystallises the present that is always past, marking the time with signs. The twofold revolution or inner liberation, mentioned repeatedly by César Meneghetti for himself and the others in the relationship, is nothing but the boundary separating notions and conditions of diversity from conditions of forced conformity, a solution to the clash between the subject and a reality experienced and immediately lost. The work of art-object, the crystallisation or temporary sign of vital, relationship and perceptive processes is inadequate in its essence in portraying, bearing witness to the process of which it is, however, an integrating instance. But art is this multifaceted, boundless process.

SIMONETTA LUX DOPPIO REGISTRO DI CÉSAR MENEGHETTI ARTE / REALTÀ Il doppio registro arte/realtà è peculiare della opera di César Meneghetti può/deve essere declinato in altri antagonismi: identità /nomadismo, cristallizzazione / flusso, alterità/pregiudizio, memoria/oblio, normalità/diversità, confine/sconfinamento. Perché è lì, sul quel confine, che l’opera di Meneghetti si svolge e la sua arte si compie. Lo split-screen che, tra gli infiniti dispositivi linguistici da lui sapientemente usati, finora poteva costituire il tropo di una creazione nel doppio registro addensata sui confini tra le cose e le condizioni, non è un caso che nell’opera inedita più recente sia stato abbandonato, come se il confine che separa condizioni e contraddizioni culturali fosse stato fatto cadere. E’ così? Prima dell’attuale opera I/O IO È UN ALTRO, cristallizzazione di un lungo e difficile progetto/ processo passato attraverso verifiche, César Meneghetti ha attribuito la dignità di linguaggio a lacerti, tracce, frammenti, narrazioni, fulminei parallelismi di mondi lontani e contrapposti: Italia/Brasile, Europa/America, Africa e scienza europea e con tutti i dispositivi oramai disponibili dell’arte - fotografia, montaggio, installazione, scultura, regia e /o sceneggiatura - ha fissato una contrapposizione nella lontananza, ha fatto emergere questioni particolari, universalizzandole e narrandole, intercettandole grazie alla sua condizione nomadica od emigrante che egli condivide con artisti e uomini di questo mondo globalizzato. Mi riferisco tra i film a Senza Terra/Sem Terra (12’30’, 2001) realizzato con Elisabetta Pandimiglio, o ai Montages astratti che ha continuato a realizzare a partire dal 2000, o, per arrivare più vicini a noi, a K_lab- interacting on the reality interface (2009-2011). In Senza Terra/Sem Terra c’è il racconto ficticious / realistico dell’esistenza di un uomo #24
che non parla, segnata da un evento straordinario: la sua nascita in mezzo al mare. Partorito in una nave carica di emigranti convinti di andare a far fortuna nella “Merica” con i suoi vasti spazi da coltivare, quest’uomo si ritrova a crescere in un Brasile governato da un’aristocrazia rurale che aveva sostituito la manodopera schiava con quella - più conveniente - dei salariati europei. Lo scandalo del film è il suo incipit narrativo: quando quell’uomo ha smesso di parlare, un uomo destinato fin dal primo giorno di vita a cercare la sua terra senza mai raggiungerla. L’inspiegabilità di quello scatto interiore e la narrativa attraverso altre voci, le voci delle donne che lo hanno amato in due diversi angoli del mondo, i dispositivi filmici messi in opera in una modalità compositiva anticinematografica classica (manca continuità di trama e sceneggiatura) creano attesa e sospensione. Quest’opera narrativamente aperta e questo oggetto filmico non rigidamente pianificatocol suo soggetto tratto da un fatto reale di tempo lontano- si fa apertura sulle condizioni di vita nel Brasile e su condizioni condivise oggi nel mondo da molti. In K_lab-interacting on the reality interface, è irrisolta, di nuovo, l’identificazione e separazione di due mondi, apparentemente comunicanti ma rigidamente chiusi nei loro confini: mondo della scienza occidentale vincitrice e fruttuosa, mondo dell’Africa, il Niger, improvvisamente abbandonato alla regressione dello sviluppo e all’avanzamento della desertificazione. Meneghetti ê chiamato a raccontare la relazione tra i due mondi, in base all’enorme documentazione scientifica del successo ottenuto dal progetto governativo italiano di bloccare la desertificazione, con la piantagione di 25 milioni di alberi e con complesse opere di irrigazione attraverso tecniche culturalmente e operativamente realizzate dalla popolazione locale. Nell’opera dell’artista niente documenti, faldoni, statistiche del successo pur ottenuto dagli scienziati ed interrotto dai politici. Con la sua capacità trans-generi (trans-gender) e trans-mediale (trans-mediality), Meneghetti struttura l’opera in un’unità semantica inscindibile: vi è un’unità artistica complessa che si articola in parti che sono esse stesse opere individuali: proiezioni, sculture, installazioni audio/video, video-cabine, che la compongono. Queste ultime una invenzione di Meneghetti e la procedura originale: i soggetti, in questo caso i nigerini, sono chiamati a parlarci, della loro visione di Dio, dell’Amore, della vita, del futuro, del denaro restituendoci ed universalizzando la vita e le concezioni di quel luogo lontano, che la scienza ha aiutato e la politica ha abbandonato1. Sia le opere che i Montage sono il compiere su di sé, cioè sulla propria storia personale di filmaker artista, un montaggio guidato dal montaggio stesso (la composizione astratta di frammenti filmici suoi), la costruzione guidata dal suo inconscio politico e culturale. Emerge come fatto dominate la padronanza tecnica, quando egli dava ad alcuni dei suoi montage titoli come jump, fade in, piano sequenza: ma è evidente che César Meneghetti si fa fare dal suo stesso farsi, apprendendo dalle sue stesse opere. Come egli stesso scrive “in fondo la tecnica, il Montage, è solo uno spunto per parlare d’altro, indagare sul linguaggio e la diversità nelle culture e nei mondi che ho vissuto personalmente in sud America, Gran Bretagna, Italia, così ricercando una propria identità personale, transnazionale, orizzontale” 2. #25
É evidente nell’artista sin dagli anni della sua formazione il rapporto critico con le tecniche. In modo inconscio ma consapevole, César Meneghetti ha usato ad esempio ( in Montage 6 e in Montage 7) lo split-screen, volendo attribuire una contemporaneità di tempo e di luogo, l’idea della fusione ed indistinguibilità delle strade di due città così diverse come San Paolo del Brasile e Roma o come Londra e Roma. Come egli stesso scrive nell’intervista del 20063. Un iper-non-luogo, una realtà evocata dal modo d’uso della tecnica e dell’immagine. Il modo d’uso dei media tutti disponibili all’artista contemporaneo e l’eccellenza formale tesa ai limiti dell’astrattismo, non escludono il soggetto, anzi assistiamo a un ritrovamento del centro, un centro che si sposta continuamente, un centro nomadico, in un intreccio infinito di individui, luoghi o contesti, dunque la componente etico critica diventa il nuovo protocollo dell’arte. Una nuova soggettività senza espressione ma con sapienza4. Quando ho invitato Cêsar Meneghetti a lavorare su e con persone disabili, l’artista si sapeva chiamato a una nuova scena della verità attraverso l’arte, ma non sapeva che avrebbe infranto il confine ambiguo tra realtà e rappresentazione, portando con un processo creativo condiviso un rivoluzionamento vero e proprio in quella realtà di condizione e nella propria stessa realtà. Il rivoluzionamento grazie al processo relazionale messo in moto da Meneghetti con un processo condiviso con persone disabili - e con l’educazione alla libertà nel modo d’uso dei media, quindi al concetto attuale di arte- è azione che egli compie al culmine di un processo di svelamento e di liberazione da una condizione reclusiva e discriminata da anni avviato attraverso atti istituzionali concreti dalla Comunità di Sant’Egidio con le leggi sulla creazione di percorsi non differenziali nella scuola (legge n.517 del 1977 e legge 270 del 1982)5, con la creazione di impresa e di lavoro e con la creazione dei Laboratori d’arte: ne abbiamo parlato nel libro a più mani Con l’arte Da disabile a persona6. Se era già dimostrata la intelligenza e la capacità comunicativa delle persone con diverse disabilità fisiche e neurologiche anche attraverso gli strumenti della comunicazione aumentativa (W.O.C.E. Written Output Communication Enhancement), che cosa poteva fare di più l’arte e l’artista, e come? Non si può dire che Cèsar Meneghetti non fosse un artista adatto. In I/O_IO È UN ALTRO il tema centrale del confine, del doppio registro persiste, ma la rappresentazione o metafora della insolubile contrapposizione di visioni culturali opposte (presente in opere precedenti e persistente in tanti artisti contemporanei), diventa passaggio vero e proprio da una condizione ad un’altra, cambiamento della condizione: è un grande passo, è una rivoluzione, poiché ora io so la mia diversità, uso la mia disabilità e la mia intelligenza, creo, ironizzo, comunico. Morirà il pregiudizio, un giorno, se ho sofferto posso ricordare perché e al muro del disprezzo posso opporre la consapevolezza raggiunta dell’infondatezza di esso. Si può dire che il cambiamento sia nel linguaggio dell’arte? Si e no. “Si, come scrive César Meneghetti, siamo tutti parte di un corpo unico. I/O, uno/zero, #26
(OPERA=05 BIOGRAFIE MINIME) come se gli uno e gli zero si riunissero e formassero un linguaggio, come accade con la new media art concettualmente indagatrice, tecnologicamente innovativa e socialmente/ culturalmente critica. I mezzi utilizzati, il parallelismo di I/O (uno/zero) mettono in primo piano le relazioni critiche tra cultura digitale e cultura in generale (…) In questo lavoro come nei nuovi media bisogna rimanere in puro flusso d’immagine in modo di essere veri (…) Il nostro impegno non è più solo quello di rappresentare, ma trovare un modo di de-codificare. De-codificando possiamo anche cambiare”7. E no: dopo la crisi del moderno l’artista ha conquistato la possibilità infinita d’uso, nell’arte, di tutti i media e di tutti i dispositivi: il nuovo è solo quell’altro moderno(alter modern) in atto nell’infinità dei mezzi che si possono usare e dei processi che si possono scegliere. lI cambiamento è solo nelle persone, in un processo infinito della vita e della creazione stessa dell’arte. L’opera e la verifica si passano il testimone, in un processo infinito dell’artista con l’altro che nell’opera cristallizzano il presente sempre passato, iscrivendo il tempo con segni. La doppia rivoluzione o liberazione interiore di cui a più riprese parla César Meneghetti per sé e per gli altri relazionati, non è che la cancellazione del confine che separa visioni e condizioni di diversità da condizioni di conformità coatta, soluzione dello scontro tra soggetto e realtà vissuta e subito persa. L’opera d’arte-oggetto, la cristallizzazione o segno temporaneo di processi vitali, relazionali, percettivi, è inadeguata nella sua essenza a rappresentare a testimoniare il processo di cui pur tuttavia è momento integrante. Ma l’arte è tale articolato, sconfinato, processo

People and places, small fragments of sounds and images make up a video that develops along different planes/channels. This video-booth, a non-place, reconstructs a sense of culture and of belonging to mankind. The VIDEOCABINA #03 audio-visual project, as the two previous ones (Sabina 2006, Niger 2007), is both a part of and complementary to the photography one and its aim is to contribute to sketching a visual, audio and human atlas. Talking portraits of people inhabiting different parts of our planet, interviews given by entirely ordinary men and women describe the way they learn about the world, their views on fundamental aspects of existence, on the broader meaning of life. A spatial simulacrum of the human condition, within which different groups are connected and at the same time isolated in different places and conditions of limitation, generating in viewers a sense of deep intimacy and empathy. The ones who do not have the ability to talk, communicate by means of writing or through the Written Outputs Communication Enhancement (W.O.C.E.).

Persone e luoghi, suoni ed immagini che, a piccoli frammenti, compongono un film articolato su diversi piani canali. In questo non-luogo, si ricrea un senso di cultura e di appartenenza all’umanità. Il progetto audiovisivo della VIDEOCABINA #03, come quello delle due precedenti (Sabina 2006, Niger 2007), è parte insieme e complementare a quello fotografico, vuole poter contribuire a tracciare un atlante visivo, sonoro e umano. Ritratti parlati degli abitanti di diverse regioni del pianeta, interviste posate di uomini, donne del tutto ordinarie raccontano il loro modo di apprendere il mondo, alcuni temi dell’esistenza, il senso della vita più ampio. Un simulacro spaziale della condizione umana, in cui si collegano e si isolano allo stesso tempo i vari gruppi nei vari luoghi e condizioni di limite, ricreando nello spettatore un’atmosfera di densa intimità ed empatia. Coloro che non hanno l’uso della parola, comunicano attraverso la scrittura a mano o realizzata al computer grazie al metodo della comunicazione aumentativa (W.O.C.E.).

ALESSANDRO ZUCCARI The anti-heroic eloquence of the marginalised As confirmed by sources, it has been an established custom ever since ancient times to set up galleries of eminent individuals. Their purpose was not only to save philosophers, scholars, politicians or heroes from oblivion, but first and foremost to present them to contemporaries as exempla virtutis against whom they could measure themselves and live symbolically side by side. The tradition was revitalised in the days of pre-Humanism and Humanism that – on historic and literary grounds – reintroduced with vigour and, in a sense, codified these series of representations with the meaning of the illustrated tributes explained in words by tituli. As is widely known, this literary and iconographic genre was revived thanks to a rediscovery and re-interpretation of classical biographical models, from Diogenes Laertius to Plutarch to Suetonius, considering also the importance attached by Plinius the Elder and Marcus Terentius Varro to portraits of famous men. But it was Petrarch who, through his introduction of a new critical consciousness, was the leading figure in this rediscovery: with his De viris illustribus, he played a central role in creating, in Padua and elsewhere, important 14th century pictorial cycles of evident political and civil value (as to the female side, explored by Boccaccio De claris mulieribus based on Mulierum virtutes by Plutarch, it met with alternating fortunes). Galleries of famous men and women became common in cities and small towns a long time before Raphael presented in his School of Athens, The Dispute and the Parnassus, the harmonious and unifying “summons” of the best amongst both ancient and recent talents. The best known amongst the surviving series of this kind is Andrea del Castagno’s for the Villa Carducci in Legnaia of the mid-15th century. This cycle presents three Florentine #46

“captains”, three ancient “heroines” and the three most important Tuscan poets within a system of perspectives in which each is isolated (“framed” in segments against a dark background) so as to mark their identity and dignity. This triadic depiction brings to mind the cortège of the neuf preux, with the three pagan, three Jewish and three Christian worthies born from the jester literature of France and widely appreciated throughout Europe. But it is clear that to glorify Florentine virtus the artist favoured his compatriots, reducing by half the presence of “other” heroes including only three female characters (the Cumaean Sybil, Jewish Queen Esther and Asian Queen Tomiri). Arranged according to a noble and orderly sequence, with its inclusions and exclusions, this selection of eminent personalities provides us - as Eugenio Battisti has pointed out – with a clear “snapshot of the history of mentalities”. In the field of art too, indeed, election and exclusion are not dictated only by subjective judgements but are linked to a specific culture that, in its different forms and manifestations, either mirrors or reacts to the spirit of the times. But what is the connection between all this and the Opera #01 videocabina#03 developed, at Simonetta Lux’s invitation, by César Meneghetti with the Sant’Egidio Community’s Art Atelier? At first sight, the connection might be considered accidental, but this is not the case as Meneghetti’s stature as a cultivated and knowledgeable artist can be seen to surface in his works. He is certainly no stranger to the great themes of the art of the past. The cycle of eminent individuals is neither a starting point nor a fundamental point of reference for him but, rather, it constitutes a sort of dialectic counterpoint that has surfaced like the re-emergence of an underground river. Indeed, his research originates from different elements and is always informal, poetical and innovative, marked by a lively interest in global issues, as proven by I/O _IO È UN ALTRO, the Special Project for which the artist accepted to meet the challenge of a process “open to the unpredictability of encounters and the possibility of modifications and that has revealed an inner boundary even to the artist himself” (Simonetta Lux). In investigating the boundaries of “normality” and becoming involved the liberating/ educational process launched some time ago in the Sant’Egidio Art Ateliers, from the outset Meneghetti established a truthful relationship on a par with the disabled persons involved in the Ateliers. Having heard the tales of exclusion and reclusion (in psychiatric centres and hospitals) experienced by many of them branded by prejudice and at times wrong diagnoses, he launched a process of investigation and interaction without any pre-established outcome where “subjects and objects exchange roles” and everyone puts him/herself on the line, whether disabled or not (the artist included). Thanks to this process mentally disabled persons, general defined solely by their deficit, were able to manifest the keenness and depth of their thought processes often denied or ignored by others on the basis of unreasonable prejudice and a mechanism of social exclusion. Through the VIDEO BOOTH device – that “captures” all the interlocutors and registers looks, gestures, attitudes, words (including those of people who cannot speak but use a #48
I/O_WORK #01 VIDEOCABINA #3, 2011-2013, still from HD video, color, stereo, 38’ ”
computer keyboard) –, Meneghetti has created an effective sequence of single images that, set in a four-piece frame, can be exchanged and interact with each other. The result is a highly original Gallery of People who present themselves unfeignedly, with their dignity and their frailty, and express themselves following the principle of truth on fundamental issues (happiness, love, reality, solitude, death, reclusion, wealth, change, normality and diversity …). And here lies – with a disruption of the customary scale of values – the connectioncontrast with galleries of famous men: Meneghetti’s works (using different procedures and contemporary devices) share with them the basic pair of words and images. The artist has however changed the nature of his Gallery compared with the prototype. And, to underscore the inclusive procedure he has actuated, he has added a fourth element to the triad, and considerably expanded the presence of the “Other”: not famous personages but persons. Persons habitually viewed as incapable and marginal who, put in a position to exercise their freedom of expression, succeed in achieving a level of parity with normal or distinguished individuals. It is almost the opposite of a canonical gallery of heroes and heroines, because the way in which they present themselves is anti-heroic just as their beauty is anti-canonical: they are beautiful because they are authentic. Not exempla virtutis but rather almost exempla veritatis. Indeed, there is nothing artificial in the way they behave, just as there is no rhetoric in their words. They are what they are: they do not conceal their difficulties nor despise their own frailty. They do not seek to escape but are available for relations with others; they describe their experience of exclusion and discrimination with gentle straightforwardness; they candidly ask themselves and us questions about global issues. In full contrast with conformist self-sufficiency models, they give the impression of being wholly disarmed and disarming. The process actuated by Meneghetti and the structured system of video images documenting it, starting from the fringes and exploring the boundaries of “normality”, involve a patient and complex journey of discovery of all that is submerged. By taking into account objective and subjective communication difficulties, the process succeeds in enabling persons rejected by society to express themselves. The result is extraordinarily effective. It calls upon us to break down the barriers of prejudice that separate us from others who are “different”, encouraging us not to avoid them, as we normally do, but rather to listen and establish a dialogue with them. By presenting this anti-heroic eloquence of the marginalised that communicates with Humanism from a distance, on the whole Meneghetti is exhorting us to reflect upon and act within the perspective of a “global Humanism”.

Alessandro Zuccari Antieroica eloquenza deGli esclusi Sin dall’antichità classica, come attestano le fonti, era invalso l’uso di creare gallerie di uomini illustri con cui non si intendeva solo sottrarre all’oblio filosofi, letterati, politici od eroi, ma in primo luogo riproporli nel presente quali exempla virtutis con cui confrontarsi e convivere idealmente. Questa tradizione è stata rivitalizzata nell’età preumanistica e umanistica che – a partire da premesse storico-letterarie – ha fortemente rilanciato e per certi versi codificato tale tipologia di rappresentazioni seriali nelle quali, per mezzo di tituli, era esplicitato verbalmente il senso dell’omaggio figurato. Questo rinnovato genere iconografico-letterario, com’è noto, si deve alla riscoperta e rilettura dei modelli biografici classici, da Diogene Laerzio a Plutarco a Svetonio, nonché all’importanza che Plinio il Vecchio e Marco Terenzio Varrone avevano attribuito ai ritratti di uomini famosi. Ed è stato il Petrarca, portatore di una nuova coscienza critica, il vero protagonista di tale riscoperta: con il suo De viris illustribus egli fu determinante per la creazione, a Padova e altrove, di importanti cicli pittorici trecenteschi dall’esplicita valenza politica e civile (il versante femminile, esplorato da Boccaccio nel De claris mulieribus sulla scorta del Mulierum virtutes di Plutarco, ebbe una fortuna più discontinua). Si diffusero così nelle grandi città e nei piccoli centri vere e proprie gallerie di uomini e donne illustri, ben prima che Raffaello concepisse nella Scuola d’Atene, nella Disputa e nel Parnaso quell’armonica e unificante “convocazione” dei migliori ingegni antichi e recenti. La più nota tra le superstiti figurazioni seriali di questo genere è quella realizzata a metà Quattrocento da Andrea del Castagno per la villa Carducci di Legnaia. Questa allinea tre #52

“capitani” fiorentini, tre antiche “eroine” e i tre più celebri poeti toscani entro un’intelaiatura prospettica che isola ciascuna figura (“inquadrata” in segmenti dal fondale scuro) per marcarne l’identità e la dignità. L’articolazione triadica richiamava il corteo dei neuf preux, il canone di tre prodi pagani, tre ebrei e tre cristiani nato dalla letteratura giullaresca di Francia e propagato in Europa da un’immensa fortuna visiva. Ma è evidente come il pittore, per esaltare la virtus fiorentina, abbia privilegiato i connazionali e dimezzato la presenza di eroi “altri” concentrandola nel terzetto femminile (la Sibilla Cumana, la regina ebrea Ester e l’asiatica regina Tomiri). Impostata secondo una nobile e ritmica sequenza, questa selezione di personaggi illustri, con le sue preferenze e le sue esclusioni, ci mostra – per dirla con Eugenio Battisti – un nitido “fotogramma di storia della mentalità”. Anche in campo artistico, infatti, l’elezione e l’esclusione non dipendono soltanto da scelte soggettive ma si iscrivono in una determinata cultura che nelle diverse forme e manifestazioni riflette lo spirito del tempo o reagisce ad esso. Ma che attinenza ha tutto questo con l’Opera #01 videocabina #03, che César Meneghetti ha realizzato con i Laboratori d’Arte della Comunità di Sant’Egidio in seguito all’invito di Simonetta Lux a collaborare con loro? A prima vista tale associazione appare del tutto fortuita, ma non lo è se si considera che nel lavoro di Meneghetti affiora la sua statura di artista colto e consapevole, tutt’altro che estraneo ai grandi temi dell’arte del passato. Il ciclo degli uomini illustri non è certo per lui un punto di partenza né un decisivo termine di confronto, ma rappresenta una sorta di contrappunto dialettico sopraggiunto come una carsica riemersione. Da tutt’altre premesse, infatti, prende le mosse la sua ricerca, sempre sbilanciata, poetica e innovativa, connotata da un vivo interesse per le questioni globali, come dimostra I/O _IO È UN ALTRO, lo Special Project in cui l’artista ha accettato l’azzardo di un processo “aperto all’imprevedibilità dell’incontro e alla possibilità di cambiamento e ha svelato anche a se stesso un confine interiore” (Simonetta Lux). Indagando sul confine della “normalità” e confrontandosi con il processo liberatorio-formativo avviato da tempo nei Laboratori d’Arte di Sant’Egidio, Meneghetti ha in primo luogo istituito un rapporto paritario e veritiero con le persone disabili coinvolte nei Laboratori. Apprese le storie di esclusione e reclusione (in istituti e ospedali psichiatrici) di molti di loro, segnati dallo stigma del pregiudizio e persino da diagnosi del tutto infondate, egli ha avviato un processo di indagine e di interazione dall’esito non preordinato in cui “soggetti ed oggetti si scambiano i ruoli” e tutti si mettono in gioco, disabili e non (artista compreso). Grazie a questo processo, persone con disabilità mentale, generalmente definite solo per il loro deficit, hanno potuto manifestare tutta la loro acutezza e profondità di pensiero che irragionevoli pregiudizi e meccanismi di esclusione sociale portano a negare o ignorare. #54

Attraverso il dispositivo della VIDEOCABINA – che “inquadra” tutti gli interlocutori e ne registra gli sguardi, i gesti, le attitudini, le parole (incluse quelle di chi non può pronunciarle ma le digita al computer) – Meneghetti ha creato un’efficace sequenza di singole immagini che, montate in uno schema quadripartito, si scambiano e interagiscono. Ne deriva una originalissima Galleria di Persone che si presentano per quello che sono, con tutta la loro dignità e fragilità, e che si esprimono secondo un principio di verità su temi di grande portata (felicità, amore, realtà, solitudine, morte, reclusione, ricchezza, cambiamento, normalità e diversità…). Ed ecco – ribaltando la consueta scala dei valori – la connessione-contrasto con la galleria degli uomini illustri: con essa peraltro l’opera di Meneghetti condivide (con altre procedure e con dispositivi contemporanei), il basilare binomio parola-immagine. L’artista, dunque, muta di segno la sua Galleria rispetto al prototipo, ma non solo. Per evidenziare il procedimento inclusivo da lui attivato aggiunge alla tipologia della triade un quarto elemento, e dilata notevolmente le presenze “altre”: non personaggi famosi, ma persone. Persone abitualmente considerate inabili e marginali che, messe in grado di esercitare il diritto di espressione, ritrovano un piano di parità con soggetti normali o illustri. E’ quasi l’opposto di una canonica galleria di eroi ed eroine, perché antieroico è il loro modo di presentarsi e anticanonica è la loro bellezza: sono belli perché sono veri. Non più exempla virtutis ma quasi exempla veritatis. Infatti, non c’è artificiosità nei loro gesti, come non c’è retorica nelle loro parole. Si mostrano come sono: non nascondono le loro difficoltà e non disprezzano la loro fragilità. Non sfuggono ma si prestano al rapporto con l’altro; esprimono con mite naturalezza le loro esperienze di esclusione e discriminazione; si interrogano e ci interrogano con immediatezza su temi globali. In pieno contrasto con i conformistici modelli di autosufficienza, appaiono del tutto disarmati e disarmanti. Il processo attivato da Meneghetti, e l’articolato sistema di videoimmagini che lo documenta, partendo dal margine ed esplorando il confine della “normalità” prevede un percorso paziente e complesso che va alla scoperta di ciò che è sommerso. Tale processo, tenendo conto delle difficoltà di comunicazione oggettive e soggettive, giunge a dare espressione a chi è rifiutato dalla società. Il risultato è di straordinaria efficacia. Ci invita a smontare la barriera del pregiudizio che ci separa dall’altro, il “diverso”, e ci chiede di non evitarlo, come si fa abitualmente, ma di ascoltarlo e di confrontarsi con lui. In definitiva Meneghetti, presentandoci questa antieroica eloquenza degli esclusi che dialoga a distanza con l’Umanesimo, ci spinge a riflettere e ad agire nella prospettiva di un “umanesimo globale”.

BIOGRAFIE MINIME is the photographic section that is complementary to the VIDEO BOOTH and presents 200 photos of 200 persons with disabilities of the Sant’Egidio Art Ateliers where the project was carried out. This corresponding though independent work creates a visual atlas and captures something more, beyond images and words, about some of the 800 people who attend the 10 Ateliers in Rome. Portraits of people of different ages, religious beliefs and social backgrounds. I’d like to write something about a metaphor associated with these photographs, even in contrast with personal biographies, thoughts, written words, unintelligible sounds, catatonias, autisms. What do the portraits represent? The closer we come to them the more clearly we see their beauty as kalòs kagathòs. This is the beauty they portray: truth, reality. This aspect of the study is one of the pillars of the project/process and is to be found in the video booth, the encounters, work shops and VERIFICATION #2: the study’s theme is the notion of the beauty of non-beauty.

BIOGRAFIE MINIME è la parte fotografica e insieme complementare della VIDEOCABINA. È composta di 200 foto di 200 persone con disabilità dei Laboratori d’Arte di Sant’Egidio nei quali tutto il progetto si è realizzato. Questo lavoro parallelo ma indipendente crea un atlante visivo e coglie qualcosa in più, tra l’immagine e la parola, di alcuni degli 800 frequentatori dei 10 Laboratori romani. Ritratti di persone di diversa età, religione e ceto sociale. Qui vorrei scrivere qualcosa su una metafora che queste foto rappresentano, anche in contrasto con le loro biografie personali, pensieri, scritti, suoni inintelligibili, catatonie, autismi. Che cosa vuole rappresentare il ritratto? Quanto più ci facciamo prossimi, tanto più vediamo la loro bellezza come kalòs kagathòs, rappresentazione di questa bellezza: verità, realtà. Questo aspetto della ricerca è uno dei punti cardini del progetto/processo, già nella videocabina, negli incontri, nei workshops, nella VERIFICA#02: tema della ricerca, il concetto della bellezza della non bellezza.

kalòs kagathòs, literally beautiful/good>valiant, is a Greek concept Plato developed to indicate the ideal of human perfection: the combination in a single individual of beauty and ethical/moral values. The video shows a party, a night feast, a gig, a balada, it describes one of those late dinners so common in the drinking nights out in Milan, Rome, Tokyo, Berlin, London, New York, São Paulo. They attract only a standard and globalised aesthetic and social category in the rich and urbanised mega-cities that extends its influence on other cities dictating fashions and fashionable drugs. All is based on the myth of the outer beauty and wealth/power of the people involved. KALOS > AGHATOS instead, is the exact opposite: a group of people with disabilities join the artist in a social soirée and dance. In terms of the artistic journey with this group, I state the right not to stop at the beauty the five sense can perceive, but rather the need to cultivate the notion of beauty in itself that is typical of all ideas and can be grasped with one’s mind rather than one’s senses. Goodness goes well beyond the beauty of ideas. In the installation, the video of the group having fun on its own terms is shown inside the main hall, at the entrance of the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea (MLAC). The glass doors are closed, there is music playing, but when visitors seek to enter, they realise that the door is locked. Pseudo-spectators, museum users, pseudonormal people are put out of touch by this work.

kalòs > agathòs, letteralmente bello/buono > valoroso, è un concetto greco elaborato da Platone, con il quale veniva indicato l’ideale di perfezione umana: l’unità nella stessa persona di bellezza e valore etico-morale. Il video rappresenta un party, una notte di festa, una gig, una balada, una rappresentazione di una cena notturna molto comune nelle notti della Milano da bere, Roma, Tokyo, Berlino, Londra, New York, San Paolo, che coinvolge solamente una sfera estetica e sociale standardizzata e globalizzata delle opulenti metropoli e che estende la propria influenza sulle altre città dettando mode, droghe da usare. È basata sul mito della bellezza esterna e ricchezza/potere delle persone coinvolte. In KALOS > AGHATHOS, l’esatto contrario: un gruppo di persone con disabilità insieme all’artista si immettono in una serata mondana e ballano. Come percorso artistico insieme al gruppo affermo il diritto a non fermarsi alla bellezza riconoscibile con i cinque sensi, ma a tendere all’idea di una bellezza in sé, propria di tutte le idee e che può essere colta solo con la mente, non con i sensi. Il Bene è una realtà al di sopra della bellezza. Nell’installazione, il video del gruppo che si diverte nella propria realtà viene proiettato all’interno della sala principale del Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea (MLAC). La porta vetrata è chiusa, si sente una musica, ma quando il visitatore cerca di entrare, si accorge che essa è chiusa a chiave. Lo pseudo spettatore, il fruitore di musei, lo pseudo-normale, è posto fuori contatto dall’opera.

Ex-sistentia portrays the intelligence of Gabriele Tagliaferro (a person with a severe form of autism) and consequently the fact that he is aware of the distance that exists between his body and his plans for action or communication. Through Ex-sistentia, the artist César Meneghetti shows viewers how Gabriele perceives the space around him and how his thought processes develop. 30 small monitors show images of Gabriele as he slowly swivels while being filmed in the video booth. Every singles image ends with fragments of the words Gabriele keys into a computer. Each monitor shows a different movement and the simultaneous sound of words and tunes recorded from his voice leads us back to Gabriele’s message that “everything is words”.

EX-SISTENTIA visualizza l’intelligenza di Gabriele Tagliaferro persona affetta da una grave forma di autismo e quindi la sua consapevolezza di vivere una distanza tra il suo corpo e il suo progetto di azione o di comunicazione. L’artista César Meneghetti, con la forma di Ex-sistentia, svela al pubblico dell’arte come Gabriele percepisce lo spazio circostante, come vive il suo pensiero. Trenta piccoli monitor restituiscono l’immagine di Gabriele rotante lentamente, ripreso in video cabina. Frammenti di parole digitate da Gabriele al computer chiudono ogni singola sua apparizione. In ogni monitor il movimento è diverso e il suono simultaneo di parole e motivi registrati dalla sua voce ci riconducono al messaggio di Gabriele “ tutto è parola”.

A chair (the chair is a symbol of presence, of being and being present amongst a constellation of people) as opposed to a vertical monitor placed in a corridor, almost in seclusion. Slowly, from the light’s blinding whiteness, an image (a body, a depiction) emerges from the flow of images. At times, there are souls that are like the monitor in the corridor, secluded by bodies that do not submit to thought. All I can say is this: OPERA #04 stems from a vision I had, maybe a hallucination, in which I saw a person, remote, staring at me (like 0\0). Then, while we were shooting, this person was there, motionless, staring at me exactly as she did in my dream. Immersed in whiteness. In light. As if she wished to make some serious, strong, deep statement but was paralyzed by something. By his limitations, of words? It all became clear to me when I read that wonderful sentence she had written, published in the book that guided me like a script (SLAZAACC). The sentence was “and still it hurts, deeply”. This unpretentious, poetic sentence is universal. That is when this person established an empathic connection with me, with you and with everyone, as we are all connected also by the pain that lives within us.
#108
Una sedia (la sedia simbolo della presenza, dello stare e dell’essere presente nella costellazione di persone) contrapposta ad un monitor verticale, stretto in un corridoio come in una clausura. Nel flusso di immagini appare lentamente dal bianco accecante della luce un sembiante (un corpo, una raffigurazione). A volte certe anime sono come il monitor nel corridoio, nella clausura di un corpo che non accompagna il pensiero. Posso dire solo questo: OPERA#04 è nata da una mia visione o delirio di una figura censurata che mi guardava fisso (come 0\0). Poi, nei giorni delle riprese questa persona (come 0\0) rimaneva lì immobile e mi guardava fisso proprio come nel sogno. Immersa nel bianco. Nella luce. Come se volesse dire qualcosa di grave, di forte, di profondo, ma era paralizzata da qualcosa. Dal limite, della parola? Poi ho capito quando ho letto che aveva scritto quella frase bellissima, pubblicata nel libro che mi ha guidato come una sceneggiatura (SLAZAACC). La frase era “e assai mi duole ancora”. Questa frase semplice, poetica, è universale. In quel momento lei entrava in empatia con me, con te e con tutti, uniti anche da un dolore che ci segue.

Binary code: enter to understand. The basic elements in IT language have been used by CÊsar Meneghetti as a metaphor of messages and voices that need to be de-codified in order to become intelligible. A series of bits cannot be translated into words unless it is de-codified: the silence of some of the disabled persons in the Sant’Egidio Art Ateliers, a few words repeated insistently or, at times, just a shout, are not without meaning but we need to enter to discover how their thinking processes come alive. Thoughts that do exist: we can contradict the prejudice of non-thought. This is what the artist CÊsar Meneghetti can reveal.

Codice binario: entrare per capire. Le basi del linguaggio informatico sono state utilizzate da César Meneghetti quale metafora di messaggi e voci che hanno bisogno di essere de-codificate per essere intellegibili. Una serie di bit non possono tradursi in parola se non decodificati: il silenzio di alcune delle persone disabili dei Laboratori d’arte di Sant’Egidio, l’emergere di poche parole ripetute con insistenza o, a volte, solo di un grido, non sono senza senso, ma bisogna entrare per scoprire come vive il loro pensiero. Pensiero che esiste: possiamo contraddire il pregiudizio del non pensiero. È ciò che l’artista César Meneghetti può svelare.

I/O_WORK #06 LOVISTORI- PAT and VINZ, 2010, digit photo, cm 300x150
The photograph tells the story of Patrizia Nasini’s different life and new life with Vincenzo Camelia. Their old life, described by their voices, is no more and is not shown. A hallway. A kitchen. A bedroom. There is a large photograph towering over all others. She is wearing white, he a dark suit. An average, happy, ordinary wedding couple. But Patrizia was neither “normal” nor happy before then. Behind the effigy, beyond the picture, there is a story no image can tell.
#130
La fotografia racconta un’altra vita di Patrizia Nasini e un’altra storia con Vincenzo Camelia. La vecchia vita, raccontata nelle loro voci non c’è più e non appare. Un ingresso. Una cucina. Una camera da letto. Una foto grande sovrasta le altre. Lei vestita di bianco. Lui col vestito scuro. Una piccola, felice, normale coppia di sposi. Patrizia non era né “normale” né felice prima di ora. Dietro l’effigie, al di là della fotografia, c’è una storia che nessuna immagine è adeguata a raccontare, se non fuori di sé.

MIKE WATSON THE ABILITY TO EXPRESS ONE’S SELF ‘I is an other’ is Brazilian-Italian artist César Meneghetti’s response to the difficulties always presented to the artist who seeks to work with the wider community. Since March 2010 Meneghetti has worked with the Community of Santo Egidio in Rome, as part of an ongoing programme in which artists work with physically and mentally disabled people. Aside from the enormous benefits one can obviously imagine coming out of such interactions, there are of course a number of questions raised regarding the appropriateness of art projects carried out with and amongst disadvantaged people, whether they be disabled, homeless, mentally ill, prisoners, immigrants, or from any other of minority population you could care to imagine. The problem is it can all too easily appear that the artist - in general - exploits the community they work with, making of it a subject for their own gain. This perception is perhaps the inevitable outcome of a democratizing process that has its roots in the work of Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Joseph Beuys (1921-1986), who argued respectively that anything can potentially be art and that ‘we are all artists’. One outcome of this is naturally that the tools of the artist, which enable self-exploration and empowerment, are made available to all. However, the problem remains one over who is designating and channeling the artistic experience. The problem with Beuys’s proclamation that ‘we are all artists’ was Beuys’s seeming need to always be the particular artist making that same proclamation: Whereas if we were truly all artists anyone would be able to declare this truth. Two problems arise here, firstly many people simply do not want or are not able – due to lack of education – to be involved in artistic discourse. Secondly, if we humans are indeed all artists, there would be no art to speak of, or at least, being an artist would be no more novel than being a human, and the statement ‘we are all artists’ would therefore become banal. The solution to these problems arguably resides in a dis#172
MIKE WATSON L’ABILITÀ DI ESPRIMERE SE STESSI ‘Io è un altro’ è la risposta dell’italo-brasiliano César Meneghetti alle difficoltà con cui si confronta un artista che intende lavorare con la comunità intesa in senso ampio. Dal marzo 2010, Meneghetti ha operato con i laboratori d’arte della Comunità di Sant’Egidio a Roma, nel contesto di un progetto in progress all’interno del quale alcuni artisti hanno intrapreso una collaborazione con disabili fisici e mentali. Al di là del vantaggio che può nascere da un’interazione di questo tipo, rimangono tuttavia aperte una serie di questioni riferibili all’attribuzione di opere d’arte realizzate con o includendo persone socialmente “svantaggiate”, siano esse disabili fisici, mentali, senza fissa dimora, immigrati, o appartenenti a qualsiasi altra “minoranza”. Si potrebbe con facilità immaginare che l’artista in generale esplori la comunità con la quale lavora, trasformandola in uno strumento a suo profitto. Questa prospettiva è talvolta il risultato inevitabile di un processo di democratizzazione che ha le sue origini nell’opera di Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) e Joseph Beyus (19211986), i quali sostennero che tutto puo’ potenzialmente essere arte e che ‘tutti siamo artisti’. Questo presuppone naturalmente che gli strumenti degli artisti che consentono l’auto-esplorazione e la legittimazione siano a disposizione di tutti. Rimane comunque aperto il problema su chi è che progetta e dirige l’azione artistica. L’asserzione di Beyus, ‘tutti siamo artisti’, pone un problema poiché è l’artista stesso che lo afferma. Il problema è che se fossimo tutti realmente artisti, chiunque potrebbe essere in grado di dichiarare questa verità. Qui sorgono due problemi, il primo è che molta gente non vuole o non è in grado – per mancanza di strumenti culturali – di essere coinvolta nel discorso artistico. Il secondo è che se tutti gli esseri umani fossero realmente artisti, non esisterebbe arte da discutere; essere artista non vorrebbe dire altro che esistere #173
empowerment of the artist and a total democratization of the term ‘art’, to the extent that the term itself would be secondary to self-exploration. In this way artistic discourse whilst by necessity being initiated by the artist, would be open to interpretation by all, to such an extent that the privileged role of the artist as such would be effaced. In Meneghetti’s work I/O_IO È UN ALTRO this is not the core of the project. That process would involve inherent contradictions that cannot be easily overcome. For one, it would require a degree of knowledge of contemporary artistic discourse on the part of participants. For now there is no choice but to let the artist take control, so that this discourse can be transmitted. Yet the degree to which the artist subverts their control of artistic discourse and lets non-specialist participants lead can vary greatly. When dealing with marginalized communities, particularly where speech, physical movement and thought can be impaired (as with the disabled community) giving artistic control over to others becomes a complex issue, but an essential component in understanding how the artist may better deal with the wider community in general. Nevertheless, César Meneghetti does not want to be an “art professionist”. He wants to be an artist and as an artist he does not give up the artistic control. As many other artists, he works with and on common people who are not ready to grasp the matters of contemporary art, still, this is not the point as art is not the main subject of interest of the world and of the artist, but the world itself. In I/O_IO È UN ALTRO the heart of the problem is not art neither is the communication of the thought about art from people who “do not know”. The heart of the problem is the communication and the act of thinking itself, a possibility and an ability which the common prejudice does not recognise to disabled persons as they have a different way to express themselves.It is in this sense that César Meneghetti says “I is an other”, for we are all radically different to the other that we perceive. We are all the “other”. He says so also because of his way to place himself - at the same level - in the communication process. Thouths and sharing are there. Central to the project ‘I is an other’ has been the filming of each individual participant, invited to say what they want, but also what they can. For a range of disabilities can impair speech, even for the apparently ‘able’, non-disabled population. Speech, writing, creative activity are all-vital forms of communication which make us human, and which arguably make us ‘artists’ .But it is ultimately how we all communicate differently which is of importance, how we are all, above everything, individuals within a shared space. Throughout the video works (videocabina #3, kalos>aghatos, ex-sistentia, assai mi duole ancora, 2011, “Lovistory” e “Giovanni” 2012), the photograph series (2012) and the documentary film (notes on “I\O_I is an other”), which follow the creative process during ‘I is an other’ one sees individuals gain the confidence to communicate. This is not the documentation of the disability of a group of people by an able artist. It is the documentation of an ability: the ability to express one’s self. #174
quale essere umano e l’affermazione ‘siamo tutti artisti’ diventerebbe un assunto banale. La soluzione di questi problemi risiede senza dubbio nella delegittimazione dell’artista e nella totale democratizzazione del termine “arte”, al punto che il termine stesso potrebbe essere passibile di auto-esplorazione. Ma così il discorso artistico, iniziato per necessità dall’artista sarebbe aperto all’interpretazione di tutti, al punto di cancellare il ruolo privilegiato dell’artista in quanto tale. Nell’opera di Meneghetti I/O_IO È UN ALTRO non è questo il cuore del problema. Quel processo comporterebbe in sé contraddizioni non facilmente superabili. Innanzitutto richiederebbe ai partecipanti un certo grado di conoscenza del discorso artistico contemporaneo. Per ora non c’è altra scelta se non lasciare che sia l’artista a prendere il controllo perché questo discorso possa essere trasmesso. E il grado con il quale l’artista sovverte il proprio controllo sull’azione artistica e permette ai partecipanti non specialisti di condurla può variare enormemente. Quando l’artista lavora con comunità marginali, e in particolare quando parola, movimenti fisici e pensiero possono essere compromessi (come nel caso di un gruppo di persone con disabilità), cedere il controllo artistico ad altri diventa un discorso complesso, ma risulta essere una prova essenziale di come l’artista possa confrontarsi meglio con la più larga e generale comunità. Ma César Meneghetti non cede il controllo artistico. Egli non vuole essere “professionista dell’arte”, ma artista . Lavora – come tanti altri artisti scelgono di fare- con/su persone che come tante altre certo non afferrano il discorso artistico contemporaneo: ma non è questo il punto, non è l’arte l’oggetto di interesse dell’artista, ma il mondo stesso, la persona. In I/O_ IO È UN ALTRO il cuore del problema non è l’arte né il comunicare il pensiero sull’arte, da parte di persone che “non sanno”. La questione posta in campo in I/O_ IO È UN ALTRO è il comunicare stesso e il pensare stesso: una possibilità e un’abilità negata dal pregiudizio corrente alle persone con disabilità, poiché sono diverse nella forma espressiva. E’ in questo senso che César Meneghetti dice “Io è un altro”, perché siamo tutti radicalmente diversi dall’altro che percepiamo. Noi siamo tutti “l’altro”. Centrale nel progetto ‘I/O-Io è un altro” è stata la ripresa filmata di ogni singolo partecipante chiamato a parlare come vuole e come può. Varie disabilità possono compromettere l’espressione verbale, anche per chi è apparentemente ‘capace’, per chi è ‘non disabile’. Parola, scrittura, attività creativa sono tutte forme vitali di comunicazione che ci fanno umani e che ci fanno, in maniera discutibile, “artisti”. E queste forme debbono essere continuamente imparate, provate e superate. E in fondo noi tutti comunichiamo in modi diversi e tutti rilevanti – e tutti noi siamo alla fine individui in uno spazio comune. Attraverso le opere video (videocabina #3, kalos>aghatos, ex-sistentia, assai mi duole ancora, 2011, “Luvstory” e “Giovanni” 2012), le serie fotografiche (2012) ed il film documentario (Note su I/O, Io è un altro) incluse in ‘Io è un altro’ si vedono persone che acquisiscono coraggio nel comunicare. Non si tratta di una documentazione sulla disabilità di un gruppo di persone realizzata da un abile artista. E’ la documentazione di un’abilità misconosciuta : l’abilità di pensare e di esprimere il proprio Io.

Antonio Arévalo People, the one and the otherS All of the works by Italo-Brazilian artist César Meneghetti (Sao Paolo, class of 1964) have developed around creating opportunities for an analysis of the relationship between contemporary man and the visual arts, across the countless contradictions of civilisation, using the icons of cultural, political and moral devotion. His studies in the fields of audio-visuals and photography refer to important concepts in this particular sector, such as the truth and reality. The foundations of film grammar are merged with the metaphors of our imagination generating subversion in the order by which reality works. Merging geographical areas of the North and the South, his method aims to do justice to ordinary people, the oppressed and the unaware, and it calls upon us to analyse our own political and social experience avoiding formalities and generating a shift in thought and language, either explicitly or implicitly. His tactics involve a subversive use of the media, underlining modern control strategies and the new forms of nomadism within the contemporary world. Real images, superimpositions and rarefactions are taken to extremes where they are transformed into a pure flow, placing on a single axis both the visual angle and the object observed, impression and reality, remembrance and the present, the planet’s North and South, absolute simultaneity in space in the shape of time, a kind of mirror of globalisation. His study on the perception of landscape is also important: he re-writes it, dissolving the notion of time/space. He who observes may create, from Meneghetti’s works, a new reality to his own taste, a virtual and anthropogeograpichal reality, thus realising the artist’s effort to turn visual art into a medium for dialogue between different cultures. #176
Antonio Arévalo Le persone, le une e le altre Tutto il lavoro dell’artista italo-brasiliano César Meneghetti (San Paolo, classe 1964) si sviluppa intorno alla creazione di istanze di riflessione nel rapporto tra l’uomo contemporaneo e le arti visive, attraversando le infinite contraddizioni della civiltà, utilizzando le icone della devozione culturale, politica e morale. La sua ricerca nel campo dell’audio-visivo e della fotografia chiama in causa concetti rilevanti per il settore, come la verità e la realtà. Le basi della grammatica cinematografica si mescolano con le metafore del nostro immaginario, provocando una sovversione dell’ordine nel funzionamento del reale. In una fusione tra aree geografiche del Nord e del Sud il suo percorso cerca di rendere giustizia all’uomo comune, oppresso e inconsapevole, ci chiama a riflettere sul nostro vissuto politico e sociale con uno sguardo non favorevole ai formalismi, producendo spostamenti di pensiero e di linguaggio, esplicitamente o implicitamente. Fa sua la tattica che ha l’uso sovversivo dei media, il sottolineare le moderne strategie di controllo e le nuove forme di nomadismo nella contemporaneità. Immagini reali, sovrapposizioni e rarefazioni sono portate alle estreme conseguenze fino a diventare puro flusso, ponendo in un unico asse l’angolo della visuale e l’oggetto osservato, suggestione e realtà, memoria e presente, nord e sud del pianeta, prefigurazione, simultaneità assoluta nello spazio di forma tempo, una sorta di specchio della globalizzazione. Importante anche la sua indagine sulla percezione del paesaggio che riscrive annullando il concetto di tempo / spazio. L’osservatore può creare attraverso il lavoro di Meneghetti una nuova realtà, a suo piacimento, una realtà virtuale e antropogeografica, realizzando l’intento dell’artista di fare dell’arte visiva il mezzo di dialogo tra le diverse culture. #177
All this led him to make contact one day, four years ago, with the Sant’Egidio Community’s Art Ateliers in Rome and with the disabled persons involved in it and he has succeeded in putting himself and his art on the line. We can easily see the pleasure he takes in the poetry of images, the words of his interlocutors are viewed in a different light, far from any kind of prejudice, and his ease in manipulating the flows of thought and images and his efforts to find a new and penetrating way to describing it all are equally evident. Because art has a fundamentally critical approach to the environmental conditions in which it is produced. Complex mechanisms are always at play and, operating within the realm of aesthetics, they are able to question its logic and its relationship with the social space, presenting unforeseeable solutions and interpretations. In “I/O_IO È UN ALTRO” the artist shows that he feels a moral and spiritual obligation, because he rejects any kind of pretence and speaks frankly, because as Peter Handke had written “to describe things in a language that draws more attention to processes that are repeated daily and to which people have become indifferent, means to take possession once more of a world that is already half forgotten bringing it back to life using the senses as an instrument, and not only the senses of he who provides the description, but also of he who is willing, by reading, to follow the description”. César Meneghetti cannot conceive a synthetized, unique work, the relativity of concepts, the plurality of interpretations, the constellation of works is handled as a work in progress that is on-going and probably will never be completed. Atmospheres of perpetual disarray highlighting and marking the pages of novel we don’t want to forget, just as we underline a verse that we wish to preserve in our memory: “To see people, the ones and the others. Firstly, those who are on the face of the earth, in their variety of customs and attitudes: some white, some black, some in peace, others at war, some in tears, others in joy, some in health others in sickness, some who are born, others who die”. These thoughts and words by Ignacio De Loyola are perfectly fitting for the latest project César is presenting at the Biennale, “I/O_IO È UN ALTRO”, a project where the “others” have such a strong presence that, at times, they merge with the artist himself.

Tutto questo lo ha portato a confrontarsi un giorno di quattro anni fa a Roma con i Laboratori d’Arte della Comunità di Sant’ Egidio e con le persone disabili che lì operano, riuscendo a mettere in gioco se stesso e la sua arte. Ci appare evidente il piacere per la poesia delle immagini, per la parola dei suoi interlocutori guardati con uno sguardo nuovo, lontano da ogni pregiudizio ed è altrettanto evidente l’ estrema facilità nel manipolare i flussi di pensiero e di immagini e il cercare un modo nuovo e sensibile di raccontare tutto ciò. Perchè l’arte possiede un carattere fondamentalmente critico rispetto alle condizioni di produzione dell’ambiente in cui è stata portata a termine. In tutti i casi, si tratta di meccanismi complessi che, operando dentro il territorio dell’estetica, sono in grado di mettere in questione la sua logica e problematizzare la sua relazione con lo spazio sociale; opponendo soluzioni ed interpretazioni imprevedibili. In “I/O_IO È UN ALTRO” l’artista ci dimostra che ha un obbligo morale e spirituale, perché rifiuta qualunque tipo di finzione e parla direttamente, perchè come già scriveva Peter Handke “la descrizione in un linguaggio che acuisce l’attenzione i processi che si ripetono quotidianamente e nei confronti dei quali si è diventati insensibili, significa riappropriarsi di un mondo che è già per metà dimenticato e farlo rivivere usando lo strumento dei sensi, e non solo dei sensi di colui che lo descrive, ma anche di colui che è pronto leggendo a seguire la descrizione”. César Meneghetti non concepisce il lavoro sintetizzato, l’opera unica, la relatività dei concetti, la molteplicità d’interpretazione, la costellazione di opere è portata avanti in un working progress, che continua tuttora e che probabilmente mai finirà. Atmosfere di perpetuo disordine che evidenziano e segnano le pagine di un romanzo che non vogliamo dimenticare, così come si sottolinea un verso che vogliamo conservare nella nostra memoria: “Vedere le persone, le une e le altre. In primo luogo, coloro che sono sulla faccia della terra, in tutte le loro varietà di costumi e di attitudini: alcuni bianchi; alcuni neri; chi in pace, chi in guerra; gli uni in lacrime, gli altri allegri; alcuni prestanti, altri malati; alcuni che nascono, altri che muoiono”. Questo testo-pensiero di Ignazio Di Loyola calza perfettamente con l’ultimo progetto che César ci fa vedere in Biennale, “I/O_IO È UN ALTRO” un progetto dove l’altro è talmente presente da, a volte, confondersi con l’artista stesso.

My physical presence gives your eyes … Seven figures, 7 totems in black, glimpsed at. At the centre, the artist: the only one who is deprived of his primary sense, sight. The others draw with their gestures a sentiment. Thus they present on the scene a presence that is un-dreamed of for a disabled person. They stand before us and look at us. An instant, a symbolic gesture … A veiled expression is yet the expression of a person, in order to exist art needs to suggest some other thing or perhaps “other” person. This short sequence is revolutionary because, in it, art (a privileged form on which the formation of man, of the person, the citizen, of society is based) returns to the community, horizontally, beauty, truth and universality.

La mia presenza fisica restituisce ai tuoi occhi… Sette figure, 7 totem in nero, intravisti. Al centro l’artista: l’unico che è privato del suo senso primario, la visione. Gli altri disegnano, con i gesti, un sentimento. Così restituiscono sulla scena una presenza inaudita alla persona disabile. Sono di fronte a noi che ci guardano. Un attimo, un gesto simbolico … L’espressione velata è pur sempre espressione della persona. Per esistere l’arte ha bisogno di suggerire altro o forse “l’altro”. Una piccola sequenza rivoluzionaria perché in essa l’arte (una forma privilegiata da cui si sviluppa la formazione dell’uomo, della persona, del cittadino, della società) restituisce orizzontalmente alla collettività la bellezza, la verità e l’universalità.

Walking. A perpetual loss of balance. 3 monitors show real size images of people walking, vertically tense, left and right, with their eyes closed. A metaphor of existence on this earth: we are ephemeral, transitory. Ignored or unaware. Constant movement is the only way to avoid capture by the surrounding mediocrity. Moving in space involves a constant loss of balance. So walking, passing, moving is a metaphor of our condition of life on earth. The lack of balance and certainties is the only certainty.

Del camminare. Un eterno perdere equilibrio. In 3 monitor scorrono immagini di persone a dimensione reale che camminano avanti e indietro, ad occhi chiusi. Una metafora dell’esistenza su questa terra: siamo effimeri, passaggi. Ignorati o ignari. Stare in movimento è l’unico modo per non farci catturare dalla mediocrità circostante. Il dislocamento nello spazio è un costante perdere l’equilibrio. Dunque camminare, passare, transitare è rappresentazione della è propria condizione di vita sulla terra. L’assenza di equilibrio, di certezze è l’unica certezza.

In a few short workshops at the Art Ateliers, working with the people involved César Meneghetti and Cristina Elias have developed a lexicon without words that only uses the body. They compared their own bodies with the disabled persons’ and based the construction of the body/movement alphabet on the principle of equivalence and diversity. Going beyond the theories of Étienne Decroux, who believes all expressive movement can be broken into different parts and reproduced on the scene using this body-emotions alphabet, they have gone further than pure and simple reproduction: the movements of the two artists and of the people involved, acting on an equal footing in the same environment and within the same exchange, have created a performance with none of the usual uncertainty and beyond movement limitations. With this alphabet, everyone seems different from him/herself and the performance actions modulated by the senses put everyone on the indistinguishable edge of normality. In-visibility, by depriving them all of sight, has made them all equal in the lack of a sense. This zone of in-visibility paradoxically helps people see.

César Meneghetti con Cristina Elias, attraverso alcuni brevi workshop nei Laboratori d’arte, hanno costruito insieme alle persone coinvolte, alcune disabili, un lessico fatto senza parole e con il solo strumento del corpo. Hanno confrontato il proprio corpo con il corpo delle persone con disabilità, e hanno fondato la costruzione dell’alfabeto di corpo/ movimento sul principio dell’equivalenza e dell’alterità. Al di là delle teorie di Étienne Decroux, per il quale è possibile scomporre e riprodurre sulla scena qualsiasi movimento espressivo con la pratica corporeo-emotiva di quell’alfabeto, si è andati al di là della pura e semplice riproduzione: il movimento dei due artisti e delle persone coinvolte alla pari in uno stesso ambiente e in uno stesso scambio, ha istituito una apparizione al di fuori della solita incertezza e al di là della impossibilità stessa del movimento. Con questo alfabeto tutti appaiono altri da sé, e l’azione performativa modulata con i sensi colloca tutti sull’orlo indistinguibile della normalità. In-visibilità togliendo a tutti la visione, ha reso tutti uguali nella privazione di un senso. Questa zona di in-visibilità aiuta paradossalmente a vedere.
