Since when I started to be interested in the magazine, I had the chance
to scout for new talents and find out new and most evolved techniques,
from the hyperrealism of some, to the graphic novel style of others,
going through incredible free hands.
Talking about modellers, I often defined them as artists, it is an impor-
tant word, that poses anyway a question: are our beloved figures an
art?
It’s a long-standing issue, some says no, some acts like a new
Michelangelo.
It would be easy to say if there was an unique final definition of the
word “art”.
During centuries it indicated several things: for Plato art is the craft-
sman translation, e.g. it is the copy of an object that is itself the copy of
an idea.
Immanuel Kant says instead that art is a series of properties, percepti-
ble and formal, identified by particular human mental faculties, like
taste and aesthetic , that generate pleasure.
On the other hand, Arthur Danto claims that is not a kind of different
perception that characterises the aesthetic object in respect of another
one, but the different cultural contest (and therefore Duchamp calls
“fountain” a simple urinal and exhibits it in a museum). So I think that
our beloved figures could cross the borders of our showcases and exhi-
bits, they could deservedly stay in a museum! Am I exaggerating?
Maybe but before leaving you to the reading of this brand new issue,
allow me a quote that maybe will make change your mind, think about
your “entropic” workbenches when you read it:
“One has to have the chaos inside to give birth to a dancing star” (I.
Kant)
