A light bulb. Glass, metal, an electrical arc or a tungsten wire. A lamp stands on top of Picasso's Guernica, symbol of evil and destructive force of war, is a sign of a light bulb flashes of genius, of great ideas that change history.
Many bulbs. A street illuminated at night, with plumes of many colors, during a village festival. But also many corpses of light bulbs, burned, which is now used, a sign of rampant consumerism and big waste of energy in which we are now immersed.
The bulb of Maria Teresa Gonzalez Ramirez is light, the small glass envelope is just the container that the artist uses to give us another light, that we can fully enjoy.
The many bulbs Maria Teresa of materials, colors and shapes, supported each other in his study as to form a small army that makes its way to bring the light bulbs that emerge from the most unlikely places to remember that in any time and place you can find a positive boost, which helps you stop and think to give the right sense to your life.
The bulbs used by this artist rigattiera are now unable to shed light in a conventional way, but they are bearers of light as it still held in, as a necessary condition of existence that will never end. Bulbs are second hand, now burnt, gathered with passion, bulbs are designed, made of ceramic, shaped metal; bulbs are accompanied by other items of recovery operation at the same time, ecological and ethical to nothing and no one is denied the possibility of doing something big sooner or later in life.
As each bulb, we too are bearers of light, without even being aware of: Maria Teresa wants to realize his bulbs send a signal, an electric shock that leads us to feel that there is something else in our lives, we have a light to grow within us to shine and to help others to shine.
It is not an imposition is an invitation to stop, take a breath of fresh air, to reflect and share more light. Bright as the colors and the glass of the artist's works, which will fascinate and capture the look, keeping you in suspense the time to decide to want to bring a little 'light of that away with you, inside you.
The desire to spread the light is evident in this event, in which the time allowed to shine in these bulbs is very low: only 24 hours to give the audience their full potential.
The artist's aim is to try to establish a lasting and fruitful dialogue with the public, and synaesthetic multisensory installations envelop the visitor and surround it with a new light to fully immerse into another dimension.
The main feature of contemporary art is precisely the relationship with the public, which is an integral and fundamental part of the artistic work. The works that have been made in the twentieth century are different from those of past centuries to their need to not only passively usable images from the viewer: the viewer participates actively in the work of contemporary and complete, its presence is necessary for define its meaning. Precisely due to this, the contemporary art extends into space, enlarging its facilities, making three-dimensional, investing and using the other senses the temporality, whether extended or reduced at the time of performance. The extension allows the viewer to enter into direct contact with the work, to pass through, to come close to making the most of his inconsistency, or of his monumental materiality: the contemporary art without the viewer would be nothing more than objects, clippings, signs or actions without meaning.
The bulbs of Maria Teresa breaking into the frescoed halls of Villa Rusconi, talking to the furniture and old paintings still exist. In one of the rooms, ancient and contemporary face, and to occupy the space with a play of mirrors and shapes that evoke the light there was, we have now and that by this time will be within us, ready to make a change to our existence. In the other shows the spiritual light like a prism breaks up and expands as the Breath of Light on the many small bulbs that the artist has collected and assembled with infinite care.
Villa Rusconi, destroyed by fire in the 90s, has not been an empty and useless, but was able to assert its light and is now home, almost in a game of Chinese boxes, other containers, apparently at the end of their lives, but in reality still as bright as the bulbs of Maria Teresa Gonzalez Ramirez.
The meetings in light of this exposure are the best way to get in touch with the essence of the artist: the light that is within each of us manifests itself and shines even more when we meet our partner and talking with him we open our minds to new horizons and a better understanding of ourselves and others.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
MARIA TERESA GONZALEZ RAMIREZ Born in Mexico City in 1967, but from years living in Varese Italy. The Gonzalez has progressively distinguished itself in recent years thanks to a job in the balance between the minimalist sculpture, site-specific installations, photography and conceptual art, constantly putting into question the limits and constraints imposed by contemporary society. So for years the artist has made its icon LIGHT applicant at all and drop one of his creations, making her a symbol that allows it to transmit his personal poetic language considered by journalists and critics of great expressive power, and great emotional impact.
"My works are the essence of what my eye sees, feel what my heart and odor that captures the sense of smell. My work can not stay inside then PRESET measures, but it breaks its banks like a swollen river and spreads everywhere eating everything meet to turn it into art. "
Gianfranco Ferre said: "I want to bring beauty,"
and I say in my poetic language: "I want to bring the beauty of the" LIGHT ".
In 2008 she was awarded in the category ART CULTURE Y with the prestigious "EL LATINO DE ORO 2008" by the city of Milan at the Teatro Dal Verme.
Selected for the Final of the 2009 Celeste Prize in the category Sculpture & Installations at Factory Borroni Bollate, Milan.
