Izdelava zadnjega, desetega med kalupi za razstavo in dogodek, ki bo maja v Galerija Mulec.
V slovenski tradiciji deseti brat ali desetnica gre od hiše. V povestih v kruh zamesijo zlatnik ali prstan in kdor ga dobi, mora od doma...
V kiparstvu se kalup po odlivanu določenega števila kiparski del (do 12 se šteje za original) razbije.
A tudi kiparska dela se uničujejo/ evidence o tem obstajajo od starih civilizacij, kjer so iz "zgodovinjenja" določene osebe umaknili tako, da so vse njihove upodobitve in zapise na kamnitih spomenikih razbili, uničili. Prav tako so razbijali kipe in uničevali slike antičnih avtorjev v času ikonoklazma (o tem izjemna knjiga Catherine Nixey- The darkening age). Tudi v prejšnjem in zdajšnjem stoletju smo priča enakim procesom, ko ljudstva prehajajo iz ene v drugo ideološko sfero in razbijajo pomnike, če ne ustrezajo njihovi predstavi o svetu..
Ali bi razbili umetnino, ki ste jo pravkar kupili?
The production of the last, tenth mold for the exhibition and event taking place in May at the Mulec Gallery.
In Slovenian tradition, the "tenth brother" or "tenth sister" is the one who in the past had to leave home. In folk tales, a gold coin or a ring is kneaded into the bread, and whoever finds it must leave home...
In sculpture, after casting a certain number of sculptural pieces (up to 12 is considered an original), the mold is broken.
But sculptural works are also destroyed—there is evidence of this from ancient civilizations, where certain individuals were erased from "historicization" by smashing all their depictions and inscriptions on stone monuments. Similarly, statues were smashed and paintings of ancient authors were destroyed during iconoclasm (on this topic, there is an exceptional book by Catherine Nixey, The Darkening Age). In the previous century and the current one, we have witnessed the same processes, as nations transition from one ideological sphere to another, destroying monuments that do not align with their vision of the world.
Would you destroy a work of art that you had just purchased?
