EGGLIPSE - Egg shells as a skin 2018


"A way to comprehend the subtlety of colour differences":

- Less importance to the color differences using egg shells (a material we normally discard)

- Clear reflect of different feed and habits

3D Printing for rebuilding ancient artefacts

I found this contemporary approach very interesting because of the dilema that is propossed: Is it possible rebuild or play in a "loyal" style an ancient piece? I think its true that the piece is not going to be completly the same (cause maybe the instruments, materials, techniques... Are not the same) but its never bad to learn from other times or contexts.

Even if the 3D printing lacks of the historical meaning of the art piece in tearms of the originis of the indigenous work I liked the possibility for the participants to remake pieces as "Felideo"

The irregularities of the 3D making were emphasized avoiding the perfection when working with machines.

Colective work respecting different points of view, for instance the indigenous way of think and tradition when trying to rebuild their art.

Rene Magritte reveals the strangeness hidden behind the most familiar things, The collective invention despicts a fish merged with a woman legs stranded on the beach.

This is a mockery of the tradicional mermaid. Rene´s painting strips away the beauty and the mystery surrounding the woman. He removes the beauty by using the opposites, this is true to surrealism but could be also a clear reflect of misoginy and the fear that exist around the woman´s power in Maguitte´s times (1898 - 1967)

Degas was one of the gratest draughtsmen in history for his masterful capture of the sensations of life and movement, especially in his works of dancers. His portraits are highly prized for the psychological complexity and sense of the truth reality.

According to this statements then the very current figure of the man, the autority, is very oftenly on the most representative position in thouse dance classes that Degas drew would be a reflect of the patriarcal and machist society of that moment in the late 1800 and beginings of 1900.

The story of Salome was very atractive for the artists in the romanticism but apparently not entirelly and that is why we can see differences between the story from the bible and the story that Oscar Wild rewrited.
