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:

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.
