NARCISSUS GUIDE

The 20th Century or the Realm of Reality mirroring Narcissus!

VII The 20th Century or the Realm of Reality mirroring Narcissus! The new battle-field is the realm of reality as an art, but as a language for truth and beauty!. .. What is the meaning of the real if we, for instance, through the appearance of what we see, discover the DECOMPOSITION of the seen? (Picasso). What if we discover the matter of color as a whole, waves of sound in the deepest of abstraction, and that coming from the realm of reality asking for "inner resiliance"?. (Kandinsky). What if instead of using colors for painting, we retake anything created already by humans (a bike, a painted glass, motorized constructions) , a meta-irony to awake from the sleepiness of the Retinian language?... (Duchamp) (7). What about"excels of irrationality: Art Brut, a rough, raw art"?.(Dubuffet). What if from our daily alienation we enter a new alienation of thought where the most rational of visual relationships questions our eyes and our hearts? (Conceptualism).The trivia hymn Brillo boxes of Pop... (Warhol)...And where the most inclusive meta-total 'happenings of installations' (Cage-Kaprow)... .The thrilled of packaging environments... (Christos)... The late eighties laser visions of the mexican Diaz Loya ...The amazing "uncumbering environmental artificial realities" of the american Myron W. Krueger.... Because today as never before the rev(b)elation of the Complex Realm of Reality, meaning the development of new aspects of consciousness, is so essential in order to keep away the alienation factor in our lives!. Because today as never before quantum-total reality is a key-poetry of propagations of several finites into the infinite...several infinities into the finite...eternities into parallel eternities... just a language, our presence on it, the presence of reality in ourselves: all the systems-non systems in which the realm of the real touch our beings, our souls, our eyes, our thoughts!. All visionaries like Picasso, Duchamp, Malevich and Mondrian, conceptual artists, minimalists, Kandinsky, Klee, Marinetti and Chirico, Breton and Dali, Dubuffet, Orozco and Siqueiros, Tapies and Moore, Pollock and Warhol etc., are truly related to our presence in reality, in fact, they are intimately related to our visions, dreams, thoughts, talking, doing, making... and of course with the infatuation of power structures in supermaking and mass-production making. But let it be said that today as never before, on the verge of a new millennium, we are going to address reality as something going along with us, developing despite us, dying from us... Whence, just some quanta-space beyond us...the distance of a poetry...and it is a fact NO DOUBT if we could recognize on the realm of the real a poetry of quantum's speed on which, systems-no systems (biological, physical, emotional psychic, aesthetic, spiritual) are born. WE SHOULD recover our total presence on reality!; and, perhaps, get our SALVATION by the MIRACLE of the REAL WHEN BEING CONDEMNED by the EVIL of NARCISSUS. (Is there any kind of SALVATION for our sense of plasticity(8) to keep in harmony with the universe?..I mean, where is the key-visual healing factor or factors to truly unite ourselves with the Universe?. And yes, a key to reach new levels of consciousness through visual resounding art should be the simple common sense to reinvent beyond the one dimensional Narcissus, the metaphore of a total-ourselves, on the Eternity of Eternal: the Complex Poetry of the Real!.
