se regæseøte într-o lume cu totul nouæ, legatæ printr-o minusculæ scurtæturæ digitalæ<br />

de universul paginii web. Conexiunea nu e logicæ, ci, în nemijlocirea ei, ea e mai<br />

curînd poeticæ, sistemul foietajului de asocieri care se naøte astfel e modelat doar<br />

de accidentele fanteziei utilizatorului øi ale mînuirii mouse-ului.<br />

Masa de informaflie care se desfæøoaræ în fafla ochilor noøtri e trans<strong>format</strong>æ în operæ<br />

de artæ nu doar de flesætura povestirilor, ci øi de un limbaj formal unitar. E limbajul<br />

vizual minimalist construit din elementele de bazæ ale geometriei, un limbaj care<br />

s-a ivit spre sfîrøitul anilor 1920 în Europa, chemat la viaflæ de <strong>idea</strong>lismul re<strong>format</strong>or<br />

øi de exigenfla de perfecfliune împærtæøite de modernism øi Bauhaus.<br />

Sæ vedem, în fine, povestirea însæøi. Povestitorul, Simon Starling, a studiat la Glasgow;<br />

din anul 2005 a træit la Berlin øi Glasgow, dar a început sæ petreacæ tot mai<br />

mult timp øi la Copenhaga, fiind totodatæ profesor la Stadelschule din Frankfurt. A<br />

primit Premiul Turner în 2005, pentru lucrarea Shedboatshed [Øopron-barcæøopron],<br />

a cærei concepflie indicæ deja metoda compoziflionalæ a expozifliei de faflæ.<br />

În cadrul acestei acfliuni, el demontase o colibæ, iar din piesele astfel obflinute a construit<br />

o barcæ pe care a folosit-o pentru a naviga în jos pe Rin, pînæ la Basel, unde<br />

a reconstruit coliba într-un muzeu. Povestirea spusæ la Budapesta a început, pentru<br />

Starling, la Torino, unde tocmai avea o expoziflie, cînd a dat cumva peste<br />

fotografia de nuntæ a maharajahului indian Jasvant Rao Holkar Bahadur (1908–1961)<br />

øi a descoperit astfel pe cineva care, la rîndul sæu, visa poveøti, dar cu optzeci de<br />

ani în urmæ. Cei care ar cæuta încæ de pe acum bifurcaflii øi adæugiri în aceastæ poveste,<br />

sæ meargæ pe pagina sa de pe Geocities (http://www.geocities.com/naneria/<br />

holkar.html). Putem afla de aici cæ Ráo Hólkár Bahadur, care a fost, pînæ în 1947,<br />

suveranul a 1.325.000 de supuøi în Indore øi cæruia i s-a organizat prima vînætoare<br />

de tigri la vîrsta de unsprezece ani (fiind, de altfel, øi un strælucit trægætor, care la o<br />

competiflie a obflinut maximumul posibil de 78 de puncte), fiind un artist înnæscut,<br />

îi sprijinea cu însufleflire pe artiøtii pe care i-a cunoscut cu ocazia studiilor sale la Oxford,<br />

strong element to penetrate objects and buildings, reflowing freely<br />

from one material to another. Starling makes the buildings fly<br />

in time and space: works which are far away one from another and<br />

people at great distances one from another reunite, surpassing continents<br />

and decades. While watching this exhibition, we feel the<br />

same spiritual joy which is felt by the compulsory internaut while<br />

surfing, when, after pressing buttons completely by accident, a new<br />

page opens up and he consequently finds himself into an altogether<br />

new world, tied to the universe of the web page through a tiny digital<br />

shortcut. The connection is not a logical, but, in its immediateness,<br />

a rather poetical one, as the multilayered system of associations<br />

which occurring this way is only shaped by the accidents happening<br />

in the user’s fantasy and while using the mouse.<br />

The in<strong>format</strong>ion mass developing before our eyes is being turned<br />

into an artwork not only by the weaving story, but also by a unitary<br />

formal language. It is the minimalist visual language built out of fundamental<br />

elements of geometry, a language occurring in the last<br />

’20s in Europe, which came to life due to the reforming <strong>idea</strong>lism and<br />

the perfection demands shared by modernism and the Bauhaus.<br />

Let us finally consider the story as such. The storyteller, Simon<br />

Starling, has studied in Glasgow; since 2005, he’s been living in Berlin<br />

and Glasgow, but he’s also started to spend increasingly more time<br />

in Copenhagen, while he is also a professor in Frankfurt. He has<br />

received the Turner Prize in 2005, for the work Shedboatshed,<br />

whose conception already reveals the compositional method of the<br />

present exhibition. For that action, he disassembled a hut and used<br />

the pieces thus obtained to build a boat, with which he navigated<br />

down the River Rhine to Basel, where he rebuilt the hut, within<br />

a museum. For Starling, the story told in Budapest started while<br />

exhibiting in Turin, when accidentally he ran over the wedding photograph<br />

of the Indian maharajah Jasvant Ráo Hólkár Bahadur<br />

(1908–1961) and thus found someone who, in his turn, dreamed<br />

about fairytales, only it was eighty years ago. Those already looking<br />

for bifurcations and additions should visit his Geocities web page<br />
