Hardcore Heritage on the edge of
paroxysm.
Beste
Hilde,
Bedankt voor de Powerpoint, ik heb die met veel interesse beluisterd. Ik was nog niet bekend met het begrip paroxisme dus ik heb een hoop geleerd, interessant!
En wat een ontzettend mooie foto's heb jij toch gemaakt van Bunker 599 en Deltawerk //.
Ik zag ook een link met werk dat ik gedaan heb over disability voor een lezing in het Van Abbe Museum (bijgevoegd) en voor een recente filosofische publicatie. Dit is de link: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01162/full

RAAAF
(Rietveld Architecture - Art - Affordances) operates at
the interface of visual art, architecture and philosophy.
Erik and Ronald Rietveld started
their multidisciplinary studio in 2006. RAAAF acquired great
fame since with location-specific art installations that
engage the existing environment and its historical context.
The projects RAAAF not
only broaden the concept paroxysm, they are striking
examples.
Paroxysm is about extremes,
about trying to escape from a category in which one is
willy-nilly caught. Paroxysm refers to the questioning of the
border (mutually exclusive) pairs of concepts such as action
and crime, love and hate, pleasure and pain, peace and war,
inside and outside, the norm versus the exception to the norm.
Paroxysmal images move on the razor's edge. They investigate
the line between madness and genius, eroticism and
pornography, between human and inhuman. They question
entrenched categories and force to push the custom look. The
severity of borderline experiences, the inner explosion and
often last attempt to escape it are the hardcore, the explicit
hard pit of the imaginary core that is constantly questioned
and shifted. The search for an alleged essence from the need
for certainties is undermined. After all, there are no
essences. Essences are pushed forward characteristics that one
prefers, for one reason or another. So there are many essences
in function of subjectivity. Nobody understands "everything"
from semiotics. Especially when signs precisely contemplate
the ambiguity of life and the world and have a layered
meaning, and then as changing codes. Paradoxically, "hardcore"
(hardcore porn, hardcore punk, hardcore heritage) will
liberate people in an anarchist way, stimulate thoughts and
soak off stuck opinions. During tight-rope dancing, all senses
are fully focused. Paroxism and hardcore stimulate the haptic,
tangible experience into the square and into the zenith.
The paroxysm is found in visual
images and projects pregnant with contradictions. It's not one
or the other but the simultaneity of two opposites: the one
and the other.
Through a cultural-philosophical
reflection on paroxism, new meanings are created supported by
new texts.
The last word is never said.
