Vigna San Martino
Whoever attends to the great symphony of rhythms, sooner or later has occasion to observe that organic and cosmic tides constitute polarized forms of a rhythmical totality that corresponds to rhythms that occur in both the organic and the super-organic realms.
Ludwig Klages, The Symphonic Rhythms of Earth, from Vom Kosmogonischen Eros, 1922
To understand the contemporary world it is necessary to observe the global both as an integrated system and as a chaotic collection of signs, and to learn to navigate through this flow of sensation. The multiplicity is one level of the parts which together create an almost-whole, which is transformed with the variation of its elements. The three days’ events, organized by E-M Arts and Fondazione Morra, represent a particular occasion in order to delve thematic and reasons of the cyber space. The meetings aim, individually and collectively, at a synaesthesis of different arts and stimuli in which music, poetry, art, nature and philosophical pondering come together.
Making his debut in Naples, the English composer Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner will be in residence in some of the most vibrant artistic spaces in the city. For the first time, these places will work together on a polysemic project. Robin will show the whole spectrum of his work, offering the public an introspective journey into his poetic hemisphere. On June 19th there will be a workshop at the Oblomova store, where Scanner will take a look at his own work, and at the bookshop/bar Perditempo a Stanza d’ascolto listening room dj-set, where the artist will choose some of his favourite music - a kind of affective audio-portrait. On June 20th on the panoramic terrace of the Nitsch Museum, when natural light starts to mix with electric, during the concert Ghosts of the Present, Scanner will go through experimental territory, amid sound, space, image and form: these are layered, seductive musical pieces, which use technology in an oscillating, unconventional way, collages of electronic music which use intercepted phone calls, metropolitan noise and syncopated sensations.
Speculum Celestiale, conceived in 2007 by Maurizio Elettrico, Domenico Mennillo and Raffaella Morra for the Vigna San Martino, an extraordinary almost utopian environment of agricultural survival in the heart of a metropolis, recalls the artificial enchantment of a garden made paradisiacal through human art. A green space visible from a great distance, surrounded by imposing monuments, the Vigna San Martino represents one of the city’s best known symbols and in this natural-cultural uniqueness becomes the Speculum Celestiale, a mirror of natural and artistic beauties, an encounter-crash between art and nature held within the idea of rural regeneration on an aesthetic and spiritual level.
Symphonie Diagonale, the name of this event on June 21st, comes from an idea by Viking Eggeling; in 1920 the Swedish artist writes with Hans Richter the booklet Universelle Sprache, where is described a universal abstract language based on the polar relations of elementary forms bypassing national frontiers. Through a scientific analysis of contrasts and analogies between the elements, called Generalbaß der Malerei (dynamics of counterpoint), it is possible to reconstruct a language pre-existing in Eden, where the most simple and the most complex sensations, thoughts and objects take on the essence of abstract form. Art is the communal creative energy which organises the progress of humanity, and connecting to it the experience of change rediscovers its social function and concedes a clear communication of pure signification, of ideas and natural emotions, not contaminated by subjective reality, to develop new organs of perception. The result is the 1924 Symphonie Diagonale, a silent film in which lines, circles, shapes and light are objectively analysed following temporal intervals controlled by visual effects, which act in the same way as musical principles, such as rhythm, timbre and intensity.
The omnidirectional nature of the sounds which envelop the environment and reach us passively, mixing noise and organised structures, may lead us to a different way of analysing aesthetic and phenomenological change. When sound is no longer recognised from its original source, but listened to for its pure and immediate sensual qualities, only then will the path to understanding the multiple character of emotions be revealed, like a wave or flow of millions of tiny perceptible (micro) particles, all working together to spring out like (macro) molecules of consciousness, ephemeral as a rainbow.
For this occasion will be published the Speculum Celestiale second book, with texts by Raffaella Morra, Loredana Troise, Maurizio Elettrico, Domenico Mennillo, by the artists invited for Symphonie Diagonale, and the Garden of Visions’ botanical cards and those of the breeding butterflies in Ab Anima.
