Il MoMA prepara una mostra sull’11 settembre
Nessuno di noi potrà mai dimenticare le orribili immagini dell’attentato terroristico dell’11 settembre 2001 al World Trade Center di New York. Nella nostra memoria collettiva sono ancora incredibilmente vividi i fotogrammi del disastro, gli aerei che impattano contro i grattaceli, le deflagrazioni, la gente che tenta di mettersi in salvo in tutti i modi anche gettandosi nel vuoto, il crollo finale e la distruzione, i pianti dei superstiti il dolore per le vittime.
Tra non molto questa immane tragedia, una delle più grandi in tempo di pace, compirà il suo decimo anniversario ed il MoMa di New York ha deciso di organizzare un evento per commemorarla ma non si tratterà di uno dei soliti eventi commemorativi intrisi di stucchevole quanto inutile retorica. La prestigiosa istituzione ha infatti intenzione di attirare la nostra attenzione non tanto sulle immagini del disastro o su come l’arte si sia evoluta nel corso dei dieci anni passati ma su come da quel tragico 11 settembre abbia influenzato la pratica artistica e le nostre percezioni visive.

November 21st, 2009 On November 19th and 20th, Asia Society hosted one of 9 individual artists commissioned to conceive a piece of interactive art specifically for the 3nd Performa Biennial that has been remastering the landscape of New York art scene for the last two weeks.

By allowing the audiences to witness first hand the making of Jung’s video work, he activates the space between the artist and the public. Jung recognizes the importance of the creative process to the final product and thus implicates the audience in actively participating in creating the work. via the art observed
