Suely Farhi
Text about art performance made in exhibition at FUNARTE/RJ, "ILUSION", in the Palavreiro series /1997: All elements of the gallery were appropriated and became visual poems specialized. In this case, the viewer was the basis of the work. They were clothes made of black plastic and the letters are made in transparent plastic . This text participated in the magazine "Global" nº10
BOUNCING NAILS
Today one of the major aesthetic concerns is exactly space and its non-establishment. The space that gradually dissolves to get tangled in its own constitution as a formal element, as being. Suely Farhi is a clear example of an artist who crosses space to investigate everything that exists in her surroundings, without letting these issues stifle the plastic reality she provokes. Your place is the place in transit. A desert place that, by its vastness and its intelligence, evaluates the vacuum of the presence itself to rediscover the rhythm and the joy of what reverberates in consistency and dance.
The object chosen is the nail and its marks, permeated with certain doubts, as a ballast, as footprints that reveal themselves to indicate other possibilities of orientation, of trait, of the fundamental impression of human expressiveness in the face of the endless exercise of knowledge and ignorance of yourself.
Nails hold nothing beyond their concreteness, though they are clearly aware of supporting the world that holds them there, on display without representation. Without drama, without exaggeration and without anguish (post?) - modern. Opting for the singular simplicity of metrical existence in plurality, full of pulse in visual score, to make itself sound (n) in elegance, awakening the audience from a distant sleep.
And then, in chords, we perceive the subjectivity present in every object, as well as the inherent objectivity of the subject that overflows us as historical legacy. While the artist smiles symphonic, so that together, we can then see the lost horizon of a hitherto hazy language.
