THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL® by McBett 1- THE GARDEN AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE I present the garden at the back of the house, as the first exhibition project of this project. (The work also includes the Garden in front of the house and the Plants inside the House). Upon this soil lies the residuals of the work lost in four other previous locations. When I arrived a year ago, the bad weather was already flooding the barren land, whose grass had immediately taken away. It was the end of August. Grass does not root by nature, it flows on the surface, leaving only the mud when it rains. In autumn the falsely green land, deluded by the grass that flows on the surface, becomes barren and muddy again. Other plants are mistreated by humans, like weeds, and killed with herbicides. Even my plants often suffer this fate, thanks to the abuse of neighbors. DISCONTINUITY A contingent discontinuity produces this organic activity and its an-aesthetics. OPEN ARCHITECTURE Rational projects, conventional plans... structural architectures are shattered. Today's work is extemporaneous, without remorse, pure practice, realized in presence. It accesses risk. It prefers confusion to order. The retreat of the human figure, leaves room for nature. Submission to nature REVERSE ARCHITECTURE Intelligence has already oc-cursed: In ten years of work, today I perform disorganically, in organicity only with my undisciplined daily life. Occasional and disorganic, an hourly circularity is born. AESTHETICS OF NECESSITY Remembering the lockdown, I listen to signs. I adapt to circumstances. I save energy. I accept the time that passes, or that is still. THE CAGE It concerns the house. The council house that welcomes me, then locking me in. I live in this house like a fish out of water. THE HYBRID GARDEN Coincidental will is not a rational choice. The external factors, spontaneous, are welcome, are new material along with ideas. There is an opening to the natural environment, even the violent, extravagant, incorrect one. ANTI-EUGENICS The mind is clear, structured only by a few principles, not imposing. THE DIRTY GARDEN Contamination is everywhere, before my arrival,in the dirty soil, in the mistreated plants,in the lack of current care, which is also care, in the occasional destruction produced by dogs, cats, lowland birds, rodents. In the invasiveness of the garden grass, in the implacable weather and time. In the dirty land of previous contaminations, waste, dump, coal, plastic that I only gradually remove or even include. Twenty-five years ago, in Dublin, contingent factors pushed me to work with found objects, found materials, when it was not in fashion and arte povera was a very rigorous and closed practice. Today my found object is alive, it takes root, blooms, grows, reproduces, dries up or dies. Today in Co. Wexford, as then, meantime the institutions are busy at establishing the human races, however, it is war. PALE GARDEN The rational intention to develop nature on pre-established whites, albeit natural, and the reality of an independent nature to allow a very slow and non-invasive transformation: It seems just a tissue of mistreated land. These are the plants it contains, but also that cannot grow. |
LA PREPARAZIONE DEL TERRENO® by McBett 1- IL GIARDINO SUL RETRO DELLA CASA Presento il giardino sul retro della casa, come primo progetto espositivo di questo progetto. (Il lavoro include anche il Giardino davanti alla casa e le Piante dentro la Casa). Su questo suolo giace la rimanenza del lavoro perso in altre quattro locazioni. Quando sono arrivata un anno fa, il maltempo allagava già la terra brulla, la cui erba si era subito sottratta. Era fine agosto. L'erba non radica per sua natura, scorre sulla superficie, lasciando melma quando piove. In autunno la terra falsamente verde, illusa dall'erba che scorre in superficie, torna brulla e fangosa. Altre piante sono maltrattate come erbacce ed uccise con i diserbanti. Anche le mie piante spesso fanno questa fine, grazie all'abuso dei vicini. DISCONTINUITÀ Una discontinuità contingente, produce questa attività organica e le sue an-estetiche. ARCHITETTURA APERTA I progetti razionali, i piani convenzionali... le architetture strutturali sono frantumate. Il lavoro di oggi è estemporaneo, senza rimorso, pura pratica, realizzato nella presenza. Accede al rischio. Preferisce la confusione, all'ordine. Il retrocedere della figura umana, lascia posto alla natura. Sottomissione alla natura ARCHITETTURA REVERSA L'intelligenza è già ac-caduta: In dieci anni di lavoro, oggi eseguo disorganicamente, in organicità solo con la mia quotidianità indisciplinata. Occasionale e disorganica, nasce una circolarità oraria. ESTETICA DELLA NECESSITÀ Memore del passato lockdown, ascolto i segni. Mi adatto alle circostanze. Risparmio energia. Accetto il tempo che passa, o che non passa. LA GABBIA Riguarda la casa. La casa popolare che mi accoglie, e poi mi imprigiona. Vivo in questa casa come un pesce fuor d'acqua. IL GIARDINO IBRIDO La volontà coincidente non è scelta razionale. I fattori esterni, spontanei, sono accolti, sono nuovo materiale assieme alle idee. Si verifica un'apertura all'ambiente naturale, anche quello violento, stravagante, scorretto. ANTI_EUGENETICA La mente è sgombra, strutturata solo da alcuni principi, non impositiva. IL GIARDINO SPORCO La contaminazione è ovunque, precedente il mio arrivo, nel terreno sporco, nelle piante maltrattate, nella mancanza di cura attuale, che è anche cura, nella distruzione occasionale prodotta da cani, gatti, uccelli di pianura, roditori. Nella invasività dell'erba da giardino,nell' implacabile tempo atmosferico e temporale. Nella terra sporca di contaminazioni precedenti, rifuti, discarica, carbone, plastica che solo gradualmente rimuovo oppure includo. Venticinque anni fa, a Dublino, i fattori contingenti mi spinsero a lavorare con oggetti di recupero, materiali trovati, quando non era di moda e l'arte povera una pratica molto rigorosa e chiusa. Oggi il mio trovarobato è vivo, radica, fiorisce, cresce, si riproduce, si secca o muore. Oggi nella Contea di Wexford, come allora, mentre le istituzioni si interessano a definire le razze umane, è, comunque, guerra. GIARDINO PALLIDO L'intenzione razionale di sviluppare la natura su bianchi prestabiliti, seppur naturali, e la realtà di una natura indipendente a cui permettere una trasformazione molto lenta e non invasiva: Sembra solo un fazzoletto di terra maltrattato. Queste sono le piante che contiene, ma anche che non può crescere. |
