Martin Creed, Sculpture West's addiction to fate leads her to believe that "everything is written." Passwall history is saturated with predictions misunderstood, that we have endeavored to enforce them, disdaining liberty. In 1936 Walter Benjamin said that the artwork for their extraordinary condition of authorship, originality, permanence and uniqueness has an aura that makes it a cult. Mechanical reproduction of the work the aura rob and worship to her. Analyze a wrong prediction by a misconception based on false terms.
Walter Benjamin.
Admiration and worship are different attitudes to the observed object. Art from its beginnings, is an intellectual process that detonates in contemplation multiple reactions. Not passive contemplation, worship and religious aura are terms that denigrate the position of the viewer in front of the artwork. Religious worship is irrational and prevents the questioning and investigation. He who worships not doubt their object of worship. The faith that motivates the cult is a state of unconsciousness before the fact, the absence of analysis. The impact of great art work on the viewer, as a unique piece for your bill and splendid issue has nothing to do with fetish worship intellectual nonsense, for example, religious relics. This designation of aura became a goal to fight for that is distance between the viewer and the work. The aura of superiority imposes a condition: the work is bigger than me, the work is far from me, is made by a genius, is untouchable. Leaving aside that, though a masterpiece is the work of a person, there is nothing metaphysical in nature there is wisdom infused supernatural or divine, humble work is only human. The work may be admirable or questionable, applauded or rejected, does not require absolute communion of the beholder. There has never been implicit acceptance of art, because art is from the freedom of creative freedom to face the viewer. From Speech Benjamin, the destruction of aura became a mission that would bring the viewer into the work, because they would not have that presence is imposing and intimidating than worship, giving way to post auratic art.
Martin Creed, Sculpture
But we can see that art auratic post there, this is the height of auratic art, the object of worship irrational. The issue and the bill, which at first makes the work outstanding, are no longer important, we must think about what it means, not what it is. This makes the work just the opposite of what Benjamin says, the work one admires without tangible value is auratic because it involves an irrational cult, an admiration that is held on faith in supernatural values \u200b\u200bin what they tell the viewer that the work is, not what the work is in reality. Demanding contemporary works admiration or auratic metaphysical significance that is not obvious to anyone, but that is part of his speech and exist as works of art to the extent that we believe in this speech, not before. The aura is the only thing holding these works without values \u200b\u200bvisible. For religion and contemporary art, unlike science, truth is not objective, everything is subject to interpretations and meanings, dirty shoes are not a dirty shoes are what they mean and this gives the work a metaphysical value. The object acquires its aura in the process of transustantación, resizing by changing the context, the initiatory journey to the supermarket to the museum, the garbage dump to the gallery. The meaning is not subjectivity, is arbitrary. It is the imposition of a load concept to something important has it and to the extent that this meaning is more complex work increases its value. Without an evaluation criterion do verifiable metaphysical arbitrariness is like a fad. Theological and messianic power of the curator and the artist's aura gives everything they touch turning it into art.
