R7_THE BLACK ONE.
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.
THE BLACK COLOR IS AN EXPRESSION OF DEPTH AND ALLUDES TO SPACE FOR THOUGHT. FOR IMAGINATION. FOR REFLECTION. THE BEGINNING OF DISCOVERY. A STARTING POINT.
Tulio Pinto, 2016, “Cumplicidade #12”.
THE BEGINNING IS THE END, THE END IS THE BEGINNING. SIC MUNDUS CREATUS EST.
DISPLAYED IN THE CORNER OF A ROOM LIKE AN ICON. THE ELIMINATION OF EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN PRODUCED UP TO THEN AND ALREADY CONTAINS WITHIN ITSELF THE CENTURY THAT IS YET TO COME.
Kazimir Malevič, 1915, “Black square”.

THE CONTENT AND THE CONTAINER.
“WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CONTAINED”?
WHAT NEEDS TO BE CONTAINED IS AN EXCESS THAT WOULD BREAK THE CONTAINER. TAKING AWAY FROM THE EMOTIONS WHAT EXCEEDS COULD BE AN ACCEPTABLE DEFINITION OF THE ACTIVITY OF THINKING. WILFRED BION STATES THAT EVERY MIND AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE NEEDS ANOTHER MIND TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP IN A CONTINUOUS GAME OF PROJECTIONS AND INTROJECTIONS..
Marcius Galan, 2010, “Three sections”.
“WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO CONTAIN”?
IT MEANS GIVING MEANING TO EXPERIENCE, A FULL POETIC MEANING, A HUMAN MEANING. THE MORE WE CAN SUCCEED IN THE FUNCTION OF CONTAINING THE MORE WE ARE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNAL , THE NEED, THE DESIDE OF THE OTHER AND OF OURSELVES.
Poul Christiansen, 2013, “Grid armchair”.
AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WORK OF DISCOVERING.

THE EXPRESSION “CONTAINER/CONTAINED” OR BETTER TO SAY: “TO CONTAIN/TO BE CONTAINED” IS A PROCESS, A COMPLEX WORK OF COORDINATION.

AND “WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU SEE”.
John Lindsey, 2015, “Flagging tape”.
AND “WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU SEE”.
V+, 2015, “Chateau d’Eau”.
THE IDEA IS THAT THE ART OBJECT SHOULD BE AS FAR REMOVED FROM THE DESIGNER AS POSSIBLE.
Daniele de Battè, 2006, “S_001_Y_2006”.
THE FORMS WHERE OFTEN REPEATED. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER, IN REGULAR, NON-HIERARCHICAL ARRANGEMENTS.
Carl Andre, 1986, “Breda”.
“I COULD DO THAT” .
THERE IS A LOT OF ART THAT IS MORE ABOUT THE IDEA THAN IT’S ABOUT THE SKILL.
WHITE ISN’T REALLY A PURE THING .
WHITE IS ALWAYS TINTED IN SOME WAY.
Kazimir Malevich, 1918, “White on white”.
SUCH AN AMAZING OBJECT.
SUCH A POWERFUL OBJECT.
SUCH A RATIONAL OBJECT.
“IS THERE SOMETHING MORE ESSENTIAL THAN A WHITE CUBE?
“YES, A WHITE SQUARE”.
