TEXTS BY THE DIRECTOR AND THE SENIOR CURATOR OF THE MUSEUM

Text by the Director of the Museum:

"Fin dalla notte dei tempi i nostri antenati guardavano al firmamento come luogo del trascendente. Una distanza che appariva infinita, quella tra il Cielo e la Terra – ha spiegato Giuseppina Napoli (Direttrice MacS Catania) -. Nonostante oggi il Cosmo sia sempre meno lontano e meno sconosciuto, in quella stessa distanza ancora risiedono i più grandi e assoluti interrogativi dell’Uomo. È un bisogno insito nella sua fragilità temporale la ricerca di Dio o la sua negazione. Prima dell’Idolatria, della divinazione, della Religione, della Filosofia, della Teologia viene sempre l’Uomo con le sue domande. E ancora oggi, mentre la robotica conquista il nuovo millennio nessuna Scienza e nessuna Religione hanno risposte certe da esibire,lasciando ai singoli e alla loro personale e intima ricerca una risposta o un dubbio perenne. Ed ecco che l’Arte, chiave magica di ciò che si pone tra l’Uomo e l’Altrove, torna ancora e ancora a porci l’eterno quesito. Marc Vinciguerra esplora con rara sensibilità attraverso la matericità delle sue opere la strada della spiritualità umana, atea, laica, credente, ma sempre umana. Ed è all’Uomo e alla sua ricerca tendente all’infinito o al finito cui l’artista dedica un trittico di grande intensità espressiva ed emotiva, un momento di sosta tra la ricerca e il credo”.

Text by the Senior Curator of the Museum:

"IL Trittico ‘The Religion of Atheism’ che Marc Vinciguerra espone negli spazi del MacS, sovverte l’imperativo darwiniano ed al contempo rinnega ogni possibile dogma – dichiara il Professor Adriano Pricoco (Accademia della Belle Arti di Catania) -. Per comprendere la metodologia operativa dell’artista francese bisogna sottolineare che l’uomo è l’epicentro della sua ricerca. Non l’istanza paradigmatica di un pool memico all’interno del quale possano trovare terreno fertile asserzioni di natura dualistica. È evidente che la figura umana si erga a metafora di identità contrapposta all’alterità del dogma religioso. Del resto la figura dell’artista ha già un ché di spirituale, l’atto della creazione contiene in se una componente dogmatica. Ma soffermiamoci sulla figura metaforica: come afferma lo stesso artista, l’intento è trovare una spiritualità post-Dio, una identità non deliberatamente laica, bensì consapevole, intellettualmente conscia che possa portare ad una nuova definizione di Sacro, sebbene non di natura teleologica”.

THE VAN-GOGH OF MIAMI

I am very happy to share a show with the legendary Purvis Young. I call Purvis the Van-Gogh of Miami. Purvis was the anti-Koons, he was poor and only riveted to his art. He was a mystic instead of a parasite. He spent his life getting always closer to his vision. Now the price of his paintings are skyrocketing and I am sure that if he was still alive he would not have even noticed. Charles Peguy the French poet use to say in 1900 you have the mystics in life who find something to live for and you have the parasites who live from other people inspiration. He was a rare artist, the only kind of artist. You can still see him with the eyes of memory on his bike in the streets of Miami with his huge book of visions on his steering wheel.

THE NEW MYSTICAL RACE

                                           

THE NEW MYSTICAL RACE

A

POEM

WE ARE THE FOUNDERS OF THE ATHEIST THEOLOGY

TO SPEAK LIKE A PEGUIST

WE ARE THE RACE THAT IS TEMPORALLY EXHAUSTED

AND SPIRITUALLY MAGNIFIED

WE ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE LOST TEMPORALLY

AND WON SPIRITUALLY

WE ARE THE RACE OF THE MYSTICS

THE RACE OF THE NEW MYSTICS

THE RACE OF THE THEOLOGIANS OF THE DEATH OF GOD

THE ONES WHO HAVE OPENED THE PORTAL OF SACRED NIHILISM

THE NEW SAINTS OF ATHEISM

WHO BATH IN THE MYSTERIES OF NIHILISM

THE NIHILIST REVOLUTION IS THE FOUNDER OF A NEW RELIGIOUS ORDER

A SACRED ORDER WITH NO GOD

YOU KNOW THAT THE GODS ARE COMING BACK ON EARTH

WHEN YOU WALK

AND YOUR HEART IS ONE WITH THE DAWN

I SEE THE MYSTICAL RACE

WALKING TOWARDS THE LAST GOD

THE NEW MYSTICAL RACE OF THE BUILDERS OF THE SECULAR RELIGION

JUDAS SAVED MAN FROM GOOD AND EVIL

BY GIVING MAN DIRECTLY TO GOD

JUDAS HAS GIVEN OUR HEART TO NIHILISM

SO WE COULD SEE GOD

A NEW MYSTICAL GENERATION HAS RISEN

THAT WILL DESTROY NIHILISM

BY REVEALING ITS DIVINE ESSENCE

THAT WILL MAKE NIHILISM ''LA NOUVELLE MYSTIQUE

LA MYSTIQUE NIHILISTE''

THAT WE CAN LIVE FOR

THE NEW MYSTICAL RACE BRINGS THE GOOD NEWS TO THE CITY OF NIHILISM

GOD IS DEAD! AND HIS DEATH HAS REVEALED THE DIVINE!!!

GEORGES BATAILLE USE TO SAY OF NIETZSCHE

THAT HE HAS REVEALED THE ABSENCE OF GOD

THE NEW MYSTICAL GENERATION GOES FURTHER THAN THAT

YES! GEORGES BATAILLE IS RIGHT ABOUT NIETZSCHE

BUT THERE IS MORE TO THIS

THIS REVELATION OF THE ABSENCE OF GOD

MAKES NIETZSCHE THE GREATEST SAINT OF THE NINETEEN CENTURY!

BECAUSE IT IS THE ABSENCE OF GOD THAT REVEALS THE DIVINE

SO US TODAY

WHO ARE TEMPORALLY DESTROYED

AND SPIRITUALLY VICTORIOUS

WE DISCLOSE, DECLARE AND SIGN

THE FIRST ATHEIST THEOLOGY.

Marc Vinciguerra

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF RELIGION

I am delighted to disclose that there will be a lecture on my work as a Sculptor and as a Philosopher of Religion at The American Academy of Religion this year. The American Academy of Religion was born in 1909 and is the world's largest organization of scholars devoted in the field of theology. They publish a Journal with Oxford University Press which is the most respected journal on the field of religious studies. A lecture will be presented on my work during the 2019 Annual Meeting. The greatest theologians of our time will gather with 10 000 attendees. The lecture will discuss my body of work as a Sculptor from The Triptych of the Religion of Atheism to The Transfiguration and also my poems will be discussed, studied and explained. I am honored and fascinated to hear this lecture on my body of work. All my life I have worked towards a theological intuition that I displayed through statues, poems and philosophical writings. I always encrypt theological cyphers in my compositions before I even sculpt. It is therefore an immense joy to hear the remarkable research of Theologians who believe today that there is something new in the field of theology that is blooming in my work.

MY TRIPTYCH ACQUIRED BY A MUSEUM

I am deliriously happy to announce that the Museum of Contemporary Art of Sicily is acquiring my Triptych of The Religion of Atheism for their permanent collections. What destiny this Triptych had. Last year the Triptych went from the harbor of New-York to the harbor of Venice for a 6 months exhibition and this year it goes from the harbor of Venice to Sicily to be for ever in an old Benedictine Monastery protected by the UNESCO as world heritage. I am very proud to be part of this Museum, the MACS is building a very important collection thanks to the extraordinary eye of its director. This collection has been recently praised very deservedly by the New-York Times. After I signed the contract, I felt that my heart belongs to Sicily.

THE TRANSFIGURATION ON ITS WAY TO VENICE

My Transfiguration is on its way to Venice for a 6 months exhibition in an old 15th century Palazzo. My heart is beating high.

SUSPENSION TEST FOR VENICE

IN THE STUDIO MOUNTING THE TRANSFIGURATION FOR VENICE

58TH BIENNALE OF ART VENICE 2019

I am very honored to have been invited by a Venetian Foundation to exhibit my new sculpture The Transfiguration in Venice during the 58th Biennale of Art in 2019. My monumental statue will be suspended 6 feet above the ground by cables attached to the magnificent ceiling of a 15th century Palazzo. This year the Foundation is excepting 500 000 visitors during a period of 6 months. I could have not imagined a better place for the world premiere of my Transfiguration. We are working with an architect to have the installation floats above the crowd like if we were to witness a real Transfiguration. As said William Blake ''Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow''.

The Artist and his Muse

HEIDEGGER A PROPHECY

                                    

HEIDEGGER A PROPHECY

WHY ARTISTS IN TIME OF DESOLATION ASKS HEIDEGGER

THE ARTIST IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS TRACK OF THE GODS


EVEN IF THERE IS NO GOD ANYMORE

THE HERO IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS TRACK OF THE GODS IN THE AGE OF NIHILISM

TODAY THE NIHILIST KEEPS TRACK OF THE LAST GOD

THE AGE OF NIHILISM IS THE AGE OF TRANSITIONAL NIHILISM

THE AGE OF TRANSITIONAL NIHILISM IS OVER

THE LAST GOD IS NIHILISM IT-SELF

THE DIVINE EMERGES FROM THE CONFRONTATION WITH NIHILISM

WE CAN NOW FULLY RECONNECT WITH THE SACRED

WE ARE ALL VICTIMS OF A PHILOSOPHICAL ERROR

THE ERROR OF THE 20th CENTURY IS TO HAVE CONFUSED

TRANSITIONAL NIHILISM WITH THE ESSENCE OF NIHILISM

THE ERROR CARRIES ON IN THE 21st CENTURY

WE STILL ASSOCIATE NIHILISM WITH PESSIMISM

INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY FROM NIHILISM

ONE MUST CONFRONT AND ATTUNE WITH NIHILISM

THIS ATTUNEMENT WITH NIHILISM IS GOD

PESSIMISM IS THE BEGINNING OF THE NIHILIST REVELATION

LETS BURN THE DICTIONARY TO DISCOVER THE DEFINITION OF THE REAL

AND LETS DISCOVER WHAT TRANSFIGURATION REALLY MEANS TODAY

THE TRANSFIGURATION IS THE INCARNATION OF THE LAST GOD
