Giardini-Arsenale: Mind to Matter (Venice Biennale 2013 ) Glistening water, sparkling stone, sea breeze, humid sun. From this sensible world, enter Giardini-Arsenale, Super sensible Venice Biennale 2013. Long tunnels lead to and from Body and Unique Personal Worlds of Wonder. Overarching theme: Aesthetic Body beckons the Mind. Cindy Sherman sends a flare to the conditional body, to resemblance and replacement. Belgium effigy of St. Sebastian’s love. Thought follows the body through torturous transition to consciousness, as dark passages lead to possible light and media screens. Israel golem. Holy See, mediated center, reflection. Entropy. Multiple tendencies to passage through darkness. A transition or holding point? Blackness so profound, the walls swallow up the floors unlevel to challenge human perception. Korea endless reflection of body only to be gently engulfed in the soft darkness of the abyss. Finland takes this darkness and feeds the trees, and measures the escape of heat from the transposed animal body. Obsessive, collect, construct. The eclecticism of the inward mind and frustrated material. A donkey sailor in Austria, song and dance with reanimated nature. Winged creatures from all other corners throughout stare inward, as mask they are in transit from mind to material and back again. The Venetian’s silken threads knotted human female form drapes to acknowledge our solid steps, and waves to the crystal male body in the Bahamas- inside out and encased. Yet not- he is différance - the impression of the inside out as seen by clear crystal. He is only through what he is not.
