Indeterminate Lines in front of Hong Kong?s skyline with mostly determinate lines
As part of this year?s French May, Bernar Venet?s bending and twisting steel lines which swirl into space play with the idea of rationality. Steel does not bend easily, but the curling lines made of Cor-ten steel, which gets a rusty surface if exposed to weather, appear freely formed and free from geometric constraints.
Venet has been working on ?indeterminate lines? since the mid-seventies and his thoughts about the principles of artistic production may well apply for knowledge production:
?Artistic production can only result from curious, open thought. It functions as a system whose richness consists of accepting, at one and the same time, the principles of harmony and conflict. It is the competition between those two elements or givens that creates a whole; and thus the principles of anti-organization becomes a factor in the development, the indispensable dynamism of the creative process?. Bernar Venet, 1976, quoted from Exhibition Catalogue, de Sarthe Gallery 2012 www.desarthe.com

??????????????????? Yayoi Kusama , Accumulation of Faces No.2 1962, Collection of Barbara Bertozzi Castelli, ? Yayoi Kusama
Knowledge Economy and the Arts
At a major retrospective of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama at Tate Modern in London (9 February -5 June 2012), there is a collage from 1962 on display with the title ?Accumulation of Faces No. 2?. It is made of newspaper clippings of faces which are connected through lines drawn with ink on paper.
In the 1960s, sociologists discussed how urbanization changes the bonds between society and individuals, leading to greater interdependence and alienation.? In his ?Theory of Mass Society ? (1962) Daniel Bell describes how modern individuals are becoming closer but also more estranged. Kusama?s picture expresses this notion of alienation and connectedness in a striking way.
Artists often sense future developments in society, and this collage can perhaps be viewed as an early picture of social networks, several decades before the Internet and social media networking sites became part of our lives.
A review of the opening including some of Kusama?s work can be seen here http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2012/feb/07/yayoi-kusama-tate-modern-in-pictures?CMP=OTCNETTXT8118#/?picture=385626648&index=6
