RICHARD NONAS
“una giornata particolare”
25 aprile
Sabato 25 aprile 2008 alle ore 18.00 si inaugurerá presso lo Spazio Pubblico Arte
Contemporanea nel Parco di Villa di Toppo Florio in via Sottomonte 17 a Buttrio
(UD) la mostra “Richard Nonas, una giornata particolare”, esposizione di sculture
realizzate per l’occasione e per il sito dall’artista americano Richard Nonas.
A seguire, incontro musicale con il Tristan Honsinger Trio (Tristan Honsinger violoncello,
Gabriele Cancelli tromba, Paolo Pascolo flfl auto) e, a fifi nire, Hybrida dj set
resistente. La mostra, a cura di Filippo Fossati, è promossa da Comune di Buttrio
e Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia - Assessorato all’Istruzione Cultura Sport
Politiche della Pace e della Solidarietà - con il sostegno delle Aziende Agricole Conte
d’Attimis-Maniago e Pontoni Flavio, della Cava di Sarone s.r.l., di Interna Group, de Le
Generali Assicurazioni e della Società Ferrovie Udine Cividale s.r.l., con la collaborazione
di Esso Gallery di New York, di Hybrida Space e della Pro Loco Buri.
Le opere, volute per ricordare la “Giornata della Liberazione”, verranno presentate in
concomitanza della 76° Fiera Regionale del Vino e costituiranno il primo nucleo di una
raccolta permanente di opere pubbliche ospitate nel Parco. Per Una giornata particolare
Richard Nonas ha realizzato una serie di sculture di grandi dimensioni in pietra
e legno, ideate nel contesto del parco disponendo ed accostando materiali raccolti e
scelti in Regione.
Richard Nonas é un artista anomalo nel panorama internazionale contemporaneo. Il suo
percorso non ha seguito la formazione professionale tipica degli artisti della sua generazione.
Nonas non ha frequentato accademie né ha prestato particolare attenzione alla
storia dell’arte, non ha partecipato alle turbolente discussioni sull’arte contemporanea
né si è insabbiato in teorie avanguardistiche transitorie. Nonostante ciò, ha condiviso le
esperienze e la storia degli ultimi 50 anni d’arte internazionale, compagno di strada di
alcuni fra i piú grandi artisti di questo periodo come Bruce Nauman, Gordon Matta Clark,
Laurie Anderson, Lawrence Weiner, Richard Tuttle, Robert Grosvenor, Mel Bochner, Carl
Andre. I suoi lavori sono ospitati presso le piú importanti raccolte pubbliche e private del
mondo come il Socrates Sculpture Park di New York, il Museum of Contemporary Art di
Los Angeles, il Detroit Museum of Art, l’Art Gallery of Ontario di Toronto, Canada, il Musée

de Grenoble in Francia, il Landesmuseum Francisco Caolinum di Linz, Austria, de Grenoble in Francia, il Landesmuseum Francisco Caolinum di Linz, Austria, la collezione
Vogel a New York, la Collezione Panza di Biumo a Varese, la collezione Ratti a Como,
la collezione Mattioli a Milano, per citarne alcune. Nato nel 1936, inizia a costruire le sue
sculture minimaliste a metá degli anni ‘60, dopo una laurea in antropologia a cui segue
un dottorato e un lungo periodo di esperienza sul campo fra le tribú indigene del deserto
del Nuovo Messico - gli indiani Papago - e poi presso la tribú esquimese degli Inuit nel
nord del Canada. Probabilmente è in questi soggiorni di studio e di scoperta che Nonas
incomincia a voler trasformare in oggetti tridimensionali le parole che in precedenza pensava
di riunire in un libro sulla sua esperienza. Richard Nonas è un artista alla stregua di
un esploratore che azzarda, che viaggia su di una mappa geografifi ca inesistente e che
lui stesso compone in maniera avventurosa. “Richard Nonas è il piú radicale degli artisti
minimalisti che ho collezionato negli anni ’60 e ‘70” - scrive nella sua autobiografifi a intitolata
Memorie di un collezionista il Conte Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, attento conoscitore
d’arte di quegli anni, che ha raccolto un considerevole numero di opere dell’artista nella
sua villa/museo vicino a Varese. Dice ancora Panza: “Richard Nonas ha trasformato la sua
ricerca antropologica per la natura primordiale dell’essere umano in scultura…” E queste
sue sculture non sono solo una verififi ca fifi sica delle possibilitá di riduzione oltre cui è impossibile
andare, ma anche e soprattutto una verififi ca fifi losofifi ca, la critica della ragion pura
di Kant applicata alla materia di cui è composto il tutto. Sono il massimo della semplicitá
e del rigore compositivo, sono il confifi ne ultimo delle possibilitá espressive, sono la forma
originale della realtà che prende il posto della forma originale del pensiero, sono l’inizio e
la fifi ne di tutte le cose fifi siche e metafifi siche, della materia stessa, oltre cui c’è solo l’ignoto,
ció che neppure l’artista esploratore puó descrivere o spiegare; sono, per dirla in poche
parole, delle sculture e dei luoghi.
Per Nonas, affermare tutto questo, cioè valicare i confifi ni e riflfl uire fuori da un processo
classico di creazione scultorea, da uno sviluppo lineare e progressivo, signififi ca affermare
una radicalità ed un radicamento; non collocare gli oggetti solo in rapporto all’occhio
specializzato dell’artista ma valutarli per la loro realtà propria, come modi e motivi di una
costellazione senza centri prestabiliti.
L’epilogo di queste affermazioni teoriche diventa, per Nonas, il linguaggio stesso. Il mezzo,
la scultura con i suoi materiali il suo peso la sua tridimensionalità, diventa protagonista
nell’intento di voler rappresentare null’altro se non se stessa.
La mostra resterà aperta, in concomitanza della 76° Fiera del Vino con ingresso libero,
dalle 10.00 alle 20.00. Per i restanti giorni dell’anno in concomitanza con gli orari di apertura
dello Spazio Pubblico Arte Contemporanea o su appuntamento.

TRISTAN HONSINGER TRIO
Tristan Honsinger violoncello
Gabriele Cancelli tromba
Paolo Pascolo fl auto
Il violoncellista statunitense Tristan Honsinger è uno dei più affermati esponenti della
musica improvvisata contemporanea, il suo percorso, che spazia dalla classica al jazz, alle
composizioni di musica da concerto, alle musiche per spettacoli di danza, di teatro, alle
performance, ai testi sia scritti che improvvisati, lo porta ad essere un artista unico nel suo
genere, un protagonista della scena della free music sin dagli anni settanta, facendo parte
delle più importanti formazioni - quali Cecil Taylor Unit, ICP, Globe Unity Orchestra - e
suonando assieme ai più importanti musicisti dell’area improvvisativa. Per la performance di
stasera sarà accompagnato da Gabriele Cancelli alla tromba e da Paolo Pascolo al fl auto.
