FOUR FLAGS

William the Red

Negative Flag, 2020

Sublimation on polyester

Gifted artist, 2020

Colors that you can connect with national sentiment often form the subject of Willem de Rooij's research on image and meaning. This is how he referred to the color orange in a work. Orange stands for the Netherlands because the color belongs to the royal house. But orange is also the color of clothing worn by political prisoners in Guantánamo Bay, the disputed American detention center in Cuba. So it depends on who 'reads' the color and in what context it happens. Red-white-blue, the Dutch tricolor, also refers to feelings of national attachment. In a society where inequality and exclusion are at the center of the debate, some, however, wonder who the national tricolor is actually waving at. The Red, with its 'Negative Flag', refers to the current moment, in which social and political relations are being minted again. He has turned the red-white-blue into photographic color negative with a reverse version of the Dutch flag as a result. The Red characterizes the image itself as "a nostalgic representation of a symbol of nostalgia. ”

Cui nu îi place cartoful? Exact, nimănui! Că tot se ceartă lumea cu steagul orașului, propunerea mea pentru pentru steagul Municipiului Sfântu Gheorghe. O plantă de cartof pe fundal alb. Rădăcinile (tuberculii) cartofului simbolizând tradiția, sămânța, trecutul, iar partea aeriană, optimismul viitorului, fundalul alb, pacea. Mai intreb odată: CUI NU ÎI PLACE CARTOFUL?

Stefano Calligaro

Poetrick (No.104)

Flags, 150x100cm, edition of 5. Materialized by Serena Becagli

COURTESY Gelrie Emmanuel Hervé, Marseille, France

SABOT , Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Stefano Calligaro is an Italian visual artist based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. His heterogeneous work plays into play a host of strategies that question with irony and anarchic sensitivity the essence of art and the artist’s role in contemporary society.His current textual work ("Poatry," as he likes to call it) made of textual "Poetricks", "Poetrickal-materializations," and "Self-portraits" challenges established social and cultural codes through visual simplicity and the (meta)use of language. Posters, books, flyers, balloons, postcards, and other ephemeral printed material and wallpaint installations are the vehicles used to convey Stephen's verbal defects to the world and welcome the viewer into a new mallable territory made to be explored. The attempt to engage the viewer in an active enjoyment of the artwork is evident in Calligaro's Poetrickal-materializations (literal print versions of Digital Poetricks) where the physical artwork itself is "materialized" in collaboration with other people such as art publishers, galleries, independent art spaces, collectors, institutions, or simply art enthusiasts. art ai which are entrusted with the task of producing and distributing, without specific instructions given by the artist, the physical work itself. Each "poetic materialization" therefore assumes an innumerable variety of forms and directions, making the digital Poetry of Stefano eclectic and tangible. This participatory quality of the work not only helps to demystify the importance of the artist, but also allows Stefan to explore new visual and conceptual territories by freely questioning the essence of art in a society that constantly provides us with cultural and intellectual models to follow.

Steven Horton Jr. wants to create a flag specifically for Black Americans, who he feels have not been represented by America’s current star-spangled banner.

Healing Arts Venice: ‘The Future is Fragile, Handle with Care.’ Agnes Denes flag installation.

A Glasgow-ban zajló COP26 klímacsúcs zárónapjai előtt, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a WHO (World Health Organisation) főigazgatója a Twitteren tette közzé Agnes Denes egyik munkáját. A Healing Arts Installation projekt keretében készült videó megörökíti Agnes Denes velencei helyspecifikus installációját, egy lobogó felvonását helyi halászok közreműködésével. A WHO főigazgatója posztjában ajánlja a videót és úgy fogalmaz: “kulturális akciófelhívás, válasz az emberiség és a bolygó válságos egészségi állapotára”.
