MICHAEL PAREKOWHAI / THE MOMENT OF CUBISM / 28 NOV 2009 - 23 JAN 2010 / MICHAEL LETT
24 November, 2009
A woman being bundled into a taxi by two men; a lion and a lioness in their cage at the zoo; the imprint of a hand near Le Corbusier's modular man; the photograph of Guevara's corpse in a stable, surrounded by a colonel, a U.S. intelligence agent, a number of Bolivian soliders and journalists; Watteau's doomed world of aristocratic elegance; Leger's substantial world; the interaction between empty space and filled space, between structure and movement, between the seer and the thing being seen, in Cubist painting; the equation of art: the artist, the world, the means of figuration; a gallery attendant standing at a tall window, gazing down at the animated figures in the courtyard with a fountain, weeping willows, benches, statues, old people and women with children; the loneliness of Czechoslovakia; a demonstration in the Corso Venezia on 6 May 1898. (Stangos, Regarding Berger, London, Spring 1970)
