Făptașa fără amprente a operei fără conținut se numește Lana Newstrom și expune lucrări care nu pot fi văzute. Publicul care vizitează galeria de artă în care expune artista admiră contemplativ spații în care nu se află nimic de la munte, etc. de orele lungi de lucru, criticii susțin că artista nu e tocmai originală sau, dimpotrivă, subliniază eliberarea sensurilor, pînă acum restrînse la limitele artei vizibile. O fotografie reluată de multe cronici înfățișează un public adîncit în observație și meditație studiind opere de nevăzut, aflate pe un perete gol, sub lumina unui spot care nu luminează nimic.
Viața declarativă și opera invizibilă a artistei Lana Newstrom au încă o calitate care a scăpat prea multor comentatori: sînt inexistente. Opera, artista, impresarul, declarațiile, galeria și fotografiile de la vernisaj sînt fabricații sau, cum se spune, astăzi, cu o formulă insuficient înțeleasă, sînt ”fake news”. Toată afacerea ”picturilor invizibile” e o glumă bine lucrată a unui cuplu de comici de radio canadieni care compun ficțiuni ironice și parafraze parodice, plecînd de la datele, curentele, clișeele, modele și manifestările cultural-politice ale lumii imediate. Totul e o invenție și toți cei ce au preluat știrea s-au lăsat înșelați naiv sau complice. Căci viața acestei știri frauduloase a fost susținută de două trăsături morale distincte.
Astfel, unii au lăsat naivitatea să lucreze și au cedat în fața dorinții de amuzament. V-am spus demult și nu ați vrut să ne ascultați! Iată confirmarea! Arta și, mai larg, lumea se duc de rîpă!
Episodul ”picturilor invizibile” e, însă, mult mai mult decît o glumă, o gafă sau un fel de a cădea pe spada ideologiei critice. De fapt, cazul Newstrom vorbește despre dedesubturile obscure și vaste ale așa numitului fenomen fake news.
The case of "invisible paintings" is a visible fake and repeats a well-known pattern: the long race of pranks or provocateurs who want to joke or amend mentalities and obsessions that they have come to understand very well. Or, in much more guilty cases: aggressive and lively misinformation in the media-political struggle. Thus, like so many other demonstrably false news cases, the episode of "invisible paintings" is based on a good intuition of the world around. The authors of these pranks understood, whether harmless or ill-intentioned, the direction of thoughts and the vulnerable sensibilities of the world in which they live.
In this case, "invisible paintings" are not completely aberrant news but a non-existent but credible fact, in a culture that has long flirted with the violation of common sense and has a proven track record in terms of absurdity. Newstrom does not exist and did not even paint his own "invisible paintings". But other people, professionally recognized as artists, did their best. Recently, I was dealing with the resonator story of the banana-work of art, glued to the wall and eaten by a spectator who declared himself, in turn, the author of a work of art (the burning of the banana).
The London Hayward Gallery, a major landmark for contemporary art, has organized an exhibition rich, theming "invisible art". Radical and post-radical gestures are a tradition always abrupt by artists in search of the theoretical limit that has got rid of representation. Under these conditions, a prank like Newstrom is not only possible but also, if you can say so, logically. The turbulent context until the disaggregation of contemporary art and thought no longer rejects such an aberration but invites it. That she first appeared in the version of a fake news hoax is almost a coincidence. The public and the general expectations were prepared for such a collision. As they say, with an old exclamation: nothing surprises.
The second circumstance that has facilitated the life of the farce about invisible painting but does the same service to political news or common news is the ideological frenzy. I swear around any public subject, the world is divided, today, into two fortified camps: left and right. And everyone is hungry to confirm their assumptions. In other words, he wants to believe more than he thinks. In Newstrom's case, the doctrinaire press of the right reacted or, rather, rejoiced at the appearance of the gigantic body of crime: here is the proof of the moral derailment of the world in all its great invisible dimension! And no one had the time or the desire to check reality.
The news was too good, too servile, and too edifying to be researched. This, given that countless other news, real and not false, send messages every day about the disappearance of meaning, limits, and norms in public life. An improbable bath has taken the place of reality and says that anything is possible.
The effect of this accumulation of information that breaks the meaning is enormous. Reality itself is negotiable, fluctuating, and deceptive like a skating rink on which meaning slides unpredictably and finds no firm ground. Any aberrant episode is plausible and the engines of multiplication of confusion are perfectly packaged. News like “invisible paintings” is taken over and confirmed with every astonished or scandalized comment, until it creates its own reality. Her denial is late and unrepaired. Behind it remains a living conviction.
Multiplied daily, in thousands of variants, this circular confusion ossifies attitudes and beliefs. Unreality creates its own reality. Nothing is certain anymore, although everything is or seems proven, photographed, recorded, and authenticated by countless sources - themselves fluid and never primary. The truth shrinks as it develops. Eventually, the truth becomes so small and its imitations so vast that the difference no longer matters. The climate is impossible for knowledge and ideal for fixed ideas.
