Artist's Statement on Miths & Signs

 

La propuesta sugiere la exploración de una sistemática alternativa para tratar de entender el fenómeno del mito y el propósito de su recreación. La lectura individual del mito sería el producto de una búsqueda interna, que traduce el hecho, o su “imagen”, a partir de valores morales o materiales en un contexto virtual, pero sin el vínculo del tiempo como recurso. Tanto o menos efectiva es hoy dicha búsqueda interna, como resulta limitada la combinación favorable de realidad y mito en la visión particular de seres humanos desplazados por el bien y el mal.

 

El mito estaría circunscrito al alcance de los signos que le dan sentido y propósito. Es una enseñanza o un medio para lograr un fin. Con la sutileza de un disparo de cañón, el mito orada nuestra individualidad, pretende justificarnos, o aún, hacernos a todos iguales por la imitación o el gesto.

 

El arte, como instrumento, se involucra sistemáticamente en el juego, limitando nuevas lecturas individuales de la realidad multicultural. El valor del poder, la fe, la fama, la reliquia, el talento, la palabra, el sacrificio o la razón, serían solo la materialización del mito como u pretexto impuesto para alcanzar metas ajenas♦  RP

Pueblos en Juego, 2003-2004

 

El arte es un vehículo de expresión desde y hacia nosotros mismos. Es destino y ruta a la vez. Mi anterior propuesta surgió de la experiencia de visitar el Estado de Nuevo Mexico y algunos de sus Pueblos, encontrando una cultura fascinante acompañada de una realidad, hasta entonces para mi desconocida, sus casinos.  

 

En EEUU, el conjunto de los casinos adscritos a algunas comunidades 

indígenas americanas produce más de 12 billones de dólares al año y se cuestiona el real alcance de los beneficios a dichas comunidades (Revista Time, Diciembre 16, 2002).

Artist’s Statement

 

It’s very difficult to use words in order to synthesize any visual representation. This is not the intention of my message in "Peoples' Game". Instead, I would like to stress what was not the purpose of these series of images of the Pueblos in New Mexico.

 

            The paintings displayed here are not a representation of value judgments of two different worlds and just one reality.  The exhibit it’s not an announcement, claim, or moan, and least, a cartoon.  It’s not a solution essay, nor an academic exercise. Neither is the fruit of a synergy which can be reached as a result of the collapse of two life systems.  It’s not an excuse or explanation. Fortunately, every image is blessed through individual perception, who grant or not, its own identity.

 

Thanks a lot, Ricardo Penuela-Pava
