Neuware - »Navel to the world«After World War II, the white cube acquired the status of an aesthetic convention. Dagmar Varady s studio, impressively presented in the book, though seems to be a place where art is produced and also an »exhibition space«. Rather than being viewed as completed works or paintings, her works are »permanently in motion«, as the artist emphasizes. Thus, in the studio, a personal (knowledge) order emerges in the context of art, something along the lines of »principles in chaos«, whereby guided chance (serendipity) also comes into play, which is quite evident in the structures, folds, and progressions in her series of »Brilliant-Blue« paintings. With all the breaks, deviations, intuitions, exceptions, and ambiguities that occur in her art, Dagmar Varady has set out on the »path of unintentionality« (Ernst Bloch) an unintentionality that promotes the processuality of art, but which in turn would not come about without a steady place of production, the studio. There, motifs meander from picture to picture in an indeterminate production process, enter into dialogue with one another, and undergo a protean transformation into ever new variants. As such, Dagmar Varady s studio is not simply a place of work but, in the artist s own words, her »navel to the world« and, as such, a kind of laboratory in which intrinsic processes play a significant role in determining artistic attitudes and objectives.; « Nombril qui la relie au monde»Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, le cube blanc/ White Cube a obtenu un statut de convention esthétique. L atelier de Dagmar Varady que présente magistralement ce livre donne par contraste l impression de se trouver à la fois dans un lieu de production d art et dans un «espace d exposition». Les travaux de l artiste ne doivent pas y être considérés comme des oeuvres terminées ou des tableaux, ils sont «en mouvement permanent», ainsi qu elle le souligne. Un système ordonné (de connaissances) personnel naîtrait ainsi en studio dans le contexte artistique, tels des «principes du chaos», avec aussi l intervention du hasard commandé (sérendipité) qu on retrouve facilement dans les structures, les plis et les tracés de sa série de tableaux «Bleu brillant». Avec toutes les ruptures, divergences, intuitions, exceptions et ambiguïtés qui apparaissent dans son art, Dagmar Varady a emprunté la «voie de la non-intentionnalité» (Ernst Bloch) une absence d intention qui encourage le processuel dans l art, mais qui serait elle aussi impossible sans un lieu de production pérenne, l Atelier. C est ainsi que les motifs y serpentent de tableau en tableau selon un processus de production indéfini, dialoguent les uns avec les autres et se transforment en variations protéiformes toujours nouvelles. En ce sens, l atelier de Dagmar Varady n est pas un simple espace de travail mais, selon le terme de l artiste elle-même, le «nombril qui la relie au monde» et en tant que tel un laboratoire dans lequel des processus intrinsèques contribuent pour une part essentielle à déterminer la posture artistique et la programmatique.; »Nabel zur Welt«Der White Cube hat nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg den Status einer ästhetischen Konvention erlangt. Das im Buch eindrucksvoll präsentierte Atelier von Dagmar Varady vermittelt demgegenüber den Eindruck, sich sowohl an einem Ort, wo Kunst produziert wird, als auch in einem »Ausstellungsraum« zu befinden. Ihre Arbeiten sind denn auch nicht als abgeschlossene Werke oder Bilder zu betrachten, sondern befinden sich »permanent in Bewegung«, wie die Künstlerin betont. So entstehe im Studio eine persönliche (Wissens-) Ordnung im Kontext der Kunst, so etwas wie »Prinzipien im Chaos«, wobei dann auch der gesteuerte Zufall (Serendipity) mit ins Spiel kommt, wie man es an den Strukturen, Faltungen und Verläufen in ihrer Serie der »Brilliant-Blue«-Bilder gut beobachten kann. Mit all den in ihrer Kunst auftretenden Brüchen, Abweichungen, Intuitionen, Ausnahmen und Ambiguitäten hat sich Dagma.

Riassunto

After World War II, the white cube acquired the status of an aesthetic convention. Dagmar Varady’ s studio, impressively presented in the book, though seems to be a place where art is produced and also an “ exhibition space” . Rather than being viewed as completed works or paintings, her works are “ permanently in motion” , as the artist emphasizes. Thus, in the studio, a personal (knowledge) order emerges in the context of art, something along the lines of “ principles in chaos” , whereby guided chance (serendipity) also comes into play, which is quite evident in the structures, folds, and progressions in her series of “ Brilliant-Blue” paintings. With all the breaks, deviations, intuitions, exceptions, and ambiguities that occur in her art, Dagmar Varady has set out on the “ path of unintentionality” (Ernst Bloch) – an unintentionality that promotes the processuality of art, but which in turn would not come about without a steady place of production, the studio. There, motifs meander from picture to picture in an indeterminate production process, enter into dialogue with one another, and undergo a protean transformation into ever new variants. As such, Dagmar Varady’ s studio is not simply a place of work but, in the artist’ s own words, her “ navel to the world” and, as such, a kind of laboratory in which intrinsic processes play a significant role in determining artistic attitudes and objectives.

Informazioni sull?autore

Paolo Bianchi, b. 1960, is a university lecturer, cultural journalist and guest editor for the magazine Kunstforum International in Cologne and freelance curator. Since 2004 lecturer at the Zurich University of the Arts, including in the Master Art Education. 2012 recipient of the Swiss Federal Art Award in the category of art education. Main areas of work: Art Education, Curating, Life Art Works, Crossovers in the Arts, Art in the City, Contemporary Art Practice, and Theories of Contemporary Art. He wrote several times on the work of Dagmar Varady. Dagmar Varady has buttressed a considerable and luminous career as a visual artist by magnifying her studio practice with forays into digital technology, biology, science fiction and environmental studies. By translating the intricate systems in play within these disciplines, she exposes the rich emotional potential of objective inquiries. Throughout, her work has remained assertively visual. The links between the rational and subjective reflection are made deliriously clear in her nuanced use of traditional, formal tools of color, light, composition, material, texture and space.
