95213 - The need of artistic creation

Ν. Lygeros

An artistic creation is a way to stay. You need firstly to go but in order to stay. And this can’t be only a move. It has to be an action. And for a settlement, we need an accumulation point. It’s a kind of supported added value. It’s not only a point in space. It shall also be a process in Time. This is the trace of continuity. We have to create a continuum. It’s the only way to create a dimension. With the degrees of freedom it is possible to make the difference. The artistic creation is the difference between the past and the future. That’s why it’s a way to write History. And you don’t need to wait for any hospitality. The miracle of artistic creation is possible even in an occupied territory. The settlement is a way to liberate a territory of oblivion. An artistic creation is a combination of intelligence and memory. It works like a strategic mix because it has also  to be robust against the attacks of barbarity. An  empty space can be interpreted as an occupied territory by oblivion. So, in order to put memory with our intelligence, we have to consider a reconstruction. A simple rock has no memory but if you can add a value on it with a painting or even a sculpture, then it becomes a support of memory and a kind of accumulation point for the artistic creation.
