"Stone Video Rubbing Wire" by Matt Mullican
Photographed by Roberto Marossi
On exhibit at the Galleria Massimo De Carlo in Milano, November 29 - January 18, 2014.
40 Granite tiles and canvas series realized through rubbing, the world’s
oldest form of image reproduction. Those are some seriously large-scale prints.
"Stone Video Rubbing Wire shows a synthesis of the cosmology that Matt Mullican created starting from the Seventies; an encyclopedia made by images, diagrams, pictograms and symbols that represents omtological ideas, synthetizing the whole subjective and objective universe. The American artist brings to Milan a monumental work dated 1987 constituted by 40 granite tiles and a new canvas series, realized using the most oldest reproduction technique of an artwork, the rubbing. Through these new works Matt Mullican represents the five worlds that creates the reality: the subjectivity, the language, the arts, the objectivity and the elements, wondering the existential questions of one’s self: “what happened before I was born?”, “Why the things happens in the way they do?”, “What happens after I die?”"
