Yesterday, during the Reading + Concerto Maditerraneo Blues performed by author⁄Iain Chambers and author⁄Mike Cooper, I’ve pinned some thoughts on my phone. It’s strange to see a white people performing black music and speaking about some Mediterranean problems in a contemporary art museum stage, but I decided to focus my attention on the words and on the music that they said and played. author⁄Ian said:
il suono viene in soccorso al pensiero.
And I thought about or if:
le arti definite “minori” e popolari siano espressioni profonde dell’identità resistente dei popoli.
author⁄Ian also said:
il corpo di una persona che suona uno strumento non è più lo stesso
And I thought about or if is the same for other artistic and craft practices, I thought about a corporal memory of a weaver for example, and probably the answer is: Yes, is the same, the body is no longer the same!
I wrote on my phone this highlight:
La memoria del corpo nelle pratiche artistiche.
