Food Chains at Ujazdowski Castle
Apparently, ecological common sense (especially in the East) suggests for a very long time, in silence, to observe how nature around us is doing great.
Like a cycle of seasons, almost like a conjuncture in the economy in the father's way, with strict concern, it reminds various creatures that you have to cope, you have to hurry, you have to hunt for an opportunity. Let's hunt for global publicity of the capital's exhibition at the Ujazdowski Castle. In Western tradition, this wisdom, directly from its own observation, early, already in the cycle of archaic "myths of succession" (as Martin L. West) settled in "fairy tale" mythology. The exhibition was made by an artist from Melbourne, the exhibition upset the Chinese embassy, and interested the Australian embassy. What is the exhibition about? There is no way, we have to go back to the myth that the most powerful of the Titans, the youngest son of Gaia and Uranus - Kronos - first castrates the father of Uranus (Hesiod presents the matter as follows: "Kronos clever, / great, with these words he spoke to the venerable mother: Mother, I will do this work - since I promised - because I do not care about the father, whom I hate, although he is ours - he was the first to come up with an unworthy cause" Teogonia, 167-172′′), then he quickly turned out to be a tyrant much worse than Uranus, finally deceived by his loved ones he had to return (Vomitio, vomere, Is a reflex that drives every longer-term economy) what he ate from those closest to you. The order of spitting inverse to the order of swallowing turned the whole family order upside down. "(... in the hymn to Aphrodite it is directly said that Hestia was the oldest child of Kronos, and yet, by the will of Zeus, she became the youngest of all the offspring. In turn, Zeus, born the latest, became the oldest, and in any case in Iliad It is said that he is older than Poseidon."( Martin L. West, Op. cit., p. 395).
A long time ago (at least two hundred years), for some imaginary reasons, the old, deaf Goya painted on the wall of his own dining room Saturn devouring children. The painting remains in the memory for a very long time, unlike the works of a nice Australian. The latter are uncompromising iconographically, probably clear enough to draw attention to the artist, provide distinguishability and clickability. At least the paintings, including those painted in reference to Goya's painting, are not good paintings. This is an interesting situation from the perspective of the viewer (cultural policy) when we look at the paintings Right, showing what we think ourselves, but not good at the same time. This does not mean that the exhibition is not worthy of attention. On the contrary, as far as possible, you have to go through the Ujazdowski Castle during the holidays. You can learn a lot about the distinctiveness of Chinese iconography and history, as well as make sure that certain themes are as universal and ambiguous in art as old, forgotten myths. You won't find out from this exhibition How it will be, when it will be different. Because otherwise it will guarantee us all Chronos.
You will not determine what the new food chains will be, you will not make sure what place your life will take in them. Who will you feed with your own blood, who will bite you with impunity.
Nevertheless, it is worth it, if only to support a nice artist who after the Warsaw diplomatic brawl (For People's China) will no longer be freed from the role he may have chosen for himself, perhaps recklessly. Recklessness in the candles of arranged long-term strategies must always be supported.
Against the background of thousands of years of sudden twists, surprising reshuffles of the hierarchy of the world, working in diplomacy (the one that pays attention to art) looks like a simple job: if they come, we will not come, when they come, we will come.
Expecting political commentators and journalists to help us understand what we are watching at the Australian's exhibition at Ujazdowski Castle is as sensible as believing that the Greek couriers in the Hesiod era, who were flying in all directions on the sea, did not take their eyes off Theogonii Displayed on their still primitive Screens I Phonach (φόνος, φωνή? PI want to choose a better ringtone).
