Descripción de la Exposición
The international exhibition entitled CONCRETE / DISCOURSE / CODE is another part of a recurring project carried out by Prof. Wiesław Łuczaj from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, combining various trends in contemporary geometric art. These trends are hidden in the trinomial title: concrete art (CONCRETE), Discursive Geometry (DISCOURSE) and generative art (CODE).
The exhibition features works by 60 artists from the USA, Canada, South Korea, as well as 12 European countries: Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland and Sweden.
Their works – originating from the realm of concrete art – touch upon such issues as the work’s matter, color, construction and structure, optical impact of elements, mathematical systems and their corresponding grid, along with other problems relating to form, because this art should be free from any connection with reality (except for the universe or transcendental reality).
As for the works representing the field of Discursive Geometry, they draw inspiration from everyday reality, from its various aspects: daily life, newspapers, magazines, architecture, landscape, cultural texts, artificial life simulators, statistical reports describing social behavior, mapping, databases and many other sources.
Finally, works from the realm of generative art addresses the subject of co-creation of works by computers. They are results of randomness, algorithms and computer codes. The works presented at the exhibition are real-time animations generated and visualized by a computer, which means that the projected images are never repeated.
The intentional multidirectional character of the exhibition indicates the vitality of art expressed in the language of geometry, its evolution, its extension beyond programme-related limitations, and the contemporary play with the theoretical context, regardless of where the artists live and create.
