“The man destroyed the large blue and white Porcelain Cube at a busy private opening for the exhibition “Who am I?” at Palazzo Fava in Bologna on the evening of September 21. Local police arrested a 57-year-old Czech man who has been identified in Italian media as Vaclav Pisvejc, a provocateur and self-proclaimed artist known for targeting important works of art.”
What it looked like before it was destroyed:
Am i just poor peasant who can’t understand art OR that sculpture looks like bunch of fancy PVC pipe glued together ?
It’s using old techniques from Chinese history and applying them in a new way. Ai had to experiment and go through a lot of failure to produce such a different object. I don’t think the cube wireframe was important, just the old method being used to make a modern art piece.
I like the idea of reinvigorating ancient crafting techniques by making modern art. I’m not exactly an art guy so I don’t know if it’s a unique idea but it made me think so I like it.
It’s modern art most of it aimed at a moral.
As a guess I’m going to assume the point is that it’s a fragile extremely delicate vase with literally no purpose as a vase.
You can’t put anything in it or on it, it’s vapid and empty like… Art.
I’m gunna guess this is collaborative in some way between the two.
It’s made out of extremely delicate porcelain.
Could’ve made it cheaper using PVC.
LOL, … and it also wouldn’t break as easily!
I saw that piece with my wife and just told her someone broke it and her reaction was “wait, that was actual ceramic? I always tough it was PVC”
It’s a cube but for grandma’s.
Yup
Damn, I saw that piece in Rio de Janeiro years ago. The banner on my profile if from that same exposition. There were also other things made of ceramic like a teddy bear and a security camera. Iirc, one of the pieces was a pendrive with a backup of wikileaks.
