Grids on the Wall
My atittude is the destruction of the traditional space of representational illusion in the breakthrough to geometrical abstraction. This destruction, however, does not stop with the development of an abstract space in its reduction to the pictorial plane or on its pure means of production. Instead, working in the space of abstraction opens up the space between the work and the vision as its true space, that is, as the space to which drawing itself belongs. This ambiguous space of drawing, which spans the difference between the virtual and the real, is the space not just to work, but to live. It is, I would like to suggest, the space that is exposed in those unnamed works that have come to be called like the Wall Works (one of many actions classified under the ordinary expression of Street Art) and that reaches not only the art but the life.
