PEARLING

Concept by Mara Cipriano Senior Art Curator


listen to this song



“Tutti a celebrare questi uomini d'affare

Io sono un'ostrica, il mondo è il mio parassita

L'avvolgo nell'inventiva, ne faccio una perla liscia

Per me creare non è un hobby, è religione

Infatti non sento ragione

Nel tuo guscio

C'è una perla

Che ti salverà

Dal fondo

È grazie all'uomo se conosco l'arte

Non merita l'estinzione, sono frasi fatte

In un pianeta senza Homo Sapiens

La mia noia sarebbe lancinante

Gloria alla mia specie e all'immaginazione

Spargo un po' di perle per la libagione

Ho lo sguardo assente, sono qui ma altrove

Vuotare il mio guscio, caro, più costare mucho, caro

Fallo per le idee, per la vena creativa perché è salvifica

Io perla viva

Per te sarò

La terapia”


 


“Everyone celebrates these businessmen

I am an oyster, the world is my parasite

I wrap it in inventiveness, I make it a smooth pearl

For me creating is not a hobby, it's religion

In fact I don't listen to reason

In your shell

there is a pearl

that will save you

from the bottom

It's thanks to man that I know art

It doesn't deserve extinction, its’a clichés

On a planet without Homo Sapiens

My boredom would be excruciating

Glory to my species and to the imagination

I scatter a few pearls for the libation

I have a vacant look, I'm here but elsewhere

Emptying my shell, dear, more cost mucho, dear

Do it for the ideas, for the creative streak because it is salvific

I, a living pearl, will be your therapy”



This is how a great contemporary Italian musician, Caparezza, describes art and artists. There's not much more to add other than explaining how a pearl is created: "Pearls are formed when a foreign body, such as a grain of sand or a parasite, infiltrates a mollusk like an oyster. The oyster reacts to this intrusion to defend itself, secreting concentric layers of a substance called mother-of-pearl (or nacre) around the irritant. This natural process, which can take years, accumulates layers of mother-of-pearl until the precious gem is created." With this clear metaphor...
