di ciò che siamo e che vogliamo rimane in realtà ben poco, sopravvive una polvere infinitesimale e il resto, Pierre Loeb, cos’è? il resto, non siamo noi. noi siamo 50 poesie | Antonin Artaud

A translated-into-Italian excerpt from the essay Devenir minéral, written and curated by Giuliana Prucca, has been published by Antinomie, a collective blog on writing and images.

The aim of Antinomie is to keep track of the forms of writing (poetry, literature, essays, philosophy, criticism, etc.) which, by overcoming disciplinary boundaries, have placed the relationship between the word and images at the heart of their practice

Echoing Jean Dubuffet's idea that thought should arise from material in artistic practice, Giuliana Prucca reinterprets a moment in the history of 20th-century art using materials such as stone, sand, earth, and dust to illustrate that the creative act would be a trace of the body's disappearance.
Building on Antonin Artaud's influence, she establishes critical and poetic connections between the texts and works of various artists, writers, and thinkers, spanning from Dubuffet to Fabre, Kiefer, Klein, Gutaï, Bousquet, Bryen, Ponge, Bachelard, Deleuze, Bataille, and Warburg. Questioning the arbitrary linearity of a conventionally assimilated art history, she applies the principles of poetry to criticism, creating a critically inventive approach that celebrates anti-critique.
The essay disrupts traditional reading habits and challenges the conservatism of art criticism by inhabiting writing space differently, providing a physically engaging experience.
