Michaelangelo's, The Creation of Adam, has further expanded the way the people of the world view society, and by extension the world. The central figure in this work is a white penis that is burned on a wooden table. The flames are held in place by the wooden table and the fire, which is drawn in black ink. This is a symbolic example of the destructive force of violence. There is a dialogue between the body and the table, between the man and the table, between the black and the white, between those who are seated and those who are standing, between those seated and those who are standing, between those seated and those who are lying down. At the same time, the man is at once alive and dead, and his semen is spread on the table. This blood is the black sign of death, which in the physical act has become a sign of the death of humanity. The black penis, a physical presence, is thus an immaterial sign of the death of mankind and society. The point of the table is to produce the black sign of death, a sign of the death of the world. The table has become the setting for an intimate conversation between two people, a discussion that is, in the end, erotic.The three paintings from The Creation of Adam, one of which was also exhibited in this show, reveal the same dialogue between two people and a table. They show the table as a stage, but one where the conversation is not mediated by the viewer but occurs inside the table, at a moment where the artist can bring the two people together, as in The Creation of Adam, and, by extension, the whole world. The paintings demonstrate the symbolic, or, rather, symbolic, relationship between the table and the person. They show the table as the table of the world, a table at which two people have a table conversation, a table of exchange.
. The first work one encounters is a photograph of a farm in Italy. It shows a cattle herd, a grain silo, and the fish market. The only people in the picture are three cows, whose bodies, in contrast to the rest of the animals, are not wrinkled. We see their white skin, white eyes, and their red skin, a red sign of death. We see them for what they are, in comparison to the cowboys in the photo, and we see them for who they are. And in a gesture of transposition, the priest wears the face of the cowboys in the form of a hat, but the rest of the face is covered with the sheepskin of the cows. We see this, in the modern image of the cowboys and the sheep, as the symbol of both the preservation of the herd and of the human family. The image itself is familiar, and yet the meaning of the image remains elusive. It seems to point to something else, something that we cannot grasp. Perhaps there is a point to be made here, but it is not a work of art, and it would be better to leave it to others to decipher.
Michaelangelo's, The Creation of Adam, has further expanded the way the people of the world view society. The work is centered around two women, each of whom holds a knife. In an attempt to look like the other, they each strike a pose. One begins to hold the knife to her throat, but she jumps back at you. The other woman holds a knife, but she holds it in a vise. She turns around and holds the other in place. The knives blade glows with a gentle glow. The women stop, looking at each other. They say, I dont want to hurt you, but that doesnt make it any less real. They begin to slowly but deliberately slip between two states: one is in an agitated state, the other in a calm one. The last woman reaches a position where she is totally exposed. Her expression is that of a woman who is sexually assaulted by her partner. The person she is talking to is her own body. The world is at once fractured and united, and the two bodies merge into one. The knife-wielding woman becomes a symbol of power and of the assault that impels it.The works title is a play on the Greek roots of the word, because, as the artist states, the knife becomes the image of power. It is as if the two women were stepping out of the bounds of reality and were about to collide into one another. The two women share a certain relationship with one another, but their relationship is distorted by the fact that they are all women. The work thus speaks to the dangers of the struggle to live in the world. One is, in the end, a victim of violence. The other women are victims of power. Thus, one of the pieces takes on a number of meanings, as well as a specific place. Its importance lies in the fact that it presents an alternative vision of a world where things can be experienced as they are supposed to be. The identity of the person holding the knife becomes a question of identification. And that is the work of art.
Michaelangelo's, The Creation of Adam, has further expanded the way the people of the world view society, and the degree to which they are drawn to the realm of natural phenomena and nature. As in the earlier work, the most difficult aspect of this installation is that it is seen in its entirety. That is, the installation is a continuous vision of the world, in which the most profound and self-evident characteristics of the world are ignored. But this is not to say that the viewer is not attracted to the various traces of time in the installation. It is obvious that the artist's most direct approach to time is through his own memory. This is because the memory of the installation is the image of a collective identity that is not linked to any particular time period, and that is thus capable of neither the past nor the future.In this way, the work's conception is the result of the artists' vision of an international space. With this in mind, it is natural that the work's title—Muneo—becomes synonymous with the vision of a global space, which in fact appears to be a very global space.The works cast by Giacomo Manzù, among the most prominent Italian artists of the period, are also representative of the era's vast social and political changes, which, however, are framed within the context of the concrete, rather than the abstract, reality of the world. The artist's projections of images on the surface of earth, as well as those of photographs in space, are thus not only reflections on the new situation in Italy, but also on the international situation and the way it is perceived.Muneo's projections of images on the surface of earth, for instance, have been manifested in a number of works: photographs of the earth, accompanied by images of the earth, projected on a wall. These images are taken from various photographs of the earth—a World War II American reconnaissance photograph, for instance, or a piece from the new series of photographs taken by the US Army.
Michaelangelo's, The Creation of Adam, has further expanded the way the people of the world view society, one in which the past and the future are contained and written into the present. The artist's body as both the site of desire and the site of mortality is precisely what we experience in this exhibition. The body becomes both a symbol of desire and its symbol, a symbol of death, and the landscape becomes a graveyard of desire.The wall text takes on the role of a cry for help. It begins with a question: How can a search that is still in progress really take place when everyone is in danger of forgetting who is doing the searching and where he is going? The artist's question is followed by a request: Does someone who only appears in one's imagination have a right to remain alive? The words, which may be considered a declaration of love, are elaborated in a form of mythological comedy that involves an extraordinary act of memory.The search continues. For one day in November the search is extended to a large city. The word in the news story is, One can imagine the town in a place like Baroque Venice. A small, banal detail from the story: On November 7th, one day, the most densely populated city in Europe—Venice, which, after centuries of being under the rule of the Venetians, was finally won by the French Republic—was cut in two by a single gunman. The violence was carried out by an unknown assailant; the first of two soldiers who attempted to hold together a small group of people who were trying to flee the scene. It was not until the morning that the search began. It was accompanied by a multitude of notes, from the notes of the police to the notes of the artist's friends. The search takes place in the night, when the sunlight gives the figures who approach the scene a feeling of security. It is a search in which everyone is aware that one is a witness; it is an irresistible one.
