DING MUSA(1979, São Paulo, Brasil)

The creative interests of Ding Musa (1979, São Paulo), focus on concepts such as light, perception, space, or geometric shape.When we look at an image knowing that it is a photograph, it usually leads us to try to understand what reality is represented. This is a natural process by which we try to understand the world around us, attending to the need to know its origin of origin. In Ding’s work, this process seems to be less direct and evident, in a way that leads the viewer to reflect on the nature and intrinsic qualities of the works he faces.

With the intention of questioning the function and usefulness of existing images, and with the concern of looking for other possible ways to relate to them, the artist proposes a new visual construction of the world, of the possibilities of representing it and of relating to it from the photographic In this sense, it seeks to expand the traditional conception of photography as a representation support, to reflect on its intrinsic properties.Their photographs, videos, objects and installations that lack subject matter, narration or referent in a traditional sense, and propose a contemplative experience, a return to the structural unity of the image and the matter of which it is composed, linking with concerns perhaps more typical of other disciplines of contemporary art.

Ding Musa makes a round trip, from the wall to the volumetric space and vice versa, they resonate in themselves, and between them, they call each other, face each other and complement each other. Inevitably, they refer to reality, although they have abstraction as a starting point. In this sense, there is also a manifest political interest beyond an evident reading. The process of representation to which the image is subjected as well as the will to return to an elementary visual unit, forces us to rethink the way in which we relate to the environment that surrounds us and to analyze it from a critical perspective.

Estudio para la construcción de una bandera / nación

En una breve frase, describiría este proyecto como parte de mi trabajo en el sentido de que sigue siendo una investigación sobre la base política que hay detrás de cual-quier construcción estética. Para esta exposición, estoy reuniendo imágenes que, a pesar de ser fotografías, están estructuradas por elementos, estilos y técnicas muy diferentes con respecto a la historia de la fotografía y el cuerpo del trabajo. El con-traste acentuado entre la composición, los temas, los puntos de vista, los colores, etc., funciona como una metáfora de la idea o propuesta de construir una unidad nacional, una bandera que pueda sintetizar todas las diferencias contenidas dentro de un país / nación. Al mismo tiempo, elementos de esta cultura como la religión, los estereotipos tropicales se combinan con elementos formales de la bandera brasileña que figuran en las imágenes mostradas.

Study for the construction of a flag / nation

In a brief sentence, I would describe this project as part of my practice in the sense that is still an investigation about the political basis behind any aesthetical construction. For this show I’m gathering images that, despite of being photographs are structured by very different elements, styles and techniques regarding photography history and body of work. The stressed contrast between the composition, themes, points of view, colours and so on, work as a metaphor for the idea or proposition of constructing a nation unit, a flag that can synthetize all differences contained inside a Country/nation. At the same, elements of this culture as religion, tropical stereotypes are combined to formal elements from the Brazilian flag figured on the displayed images.

CARDUMEN DE LOROS

Ding Musa makes a round trip, from the wall to the volumetric space and vice versa, they resonate in themselves, and between them, they call each other, face each other and complement each other. Inevitably, they refer to reality, although they have abstraction as a starting point. In this sense, there is also a manifest political interest beyond an evident reading. The process of representation to which the image is subjected as well as the will to return to an elementary visual unit, forces us to rethink the way in which we relate to the environment that surrounds us and to analyze it from a critical perspective.

UNEQUAL SIGN

Solo o en parejas, con paralelismos o imágenes especulares, el trabajo reciente de Ding Musa recuerda ecuaciones: fórmulas químicas, proporciones algebrai-cas, equivalencias geométricas y equilibrios de fuerzas. Son anotaciones funda-mentales en toda escolaridad porque nos permiten expresar, cuantificar y calcu-lar relaciones entre volúmenes más o menos abstractos.

Los sistemas de percepción elaborados por Ding Musa (generalmente fotogra-fías, aunque también pueden ser objetos, instalaciones o videos) comparten con las ecuaciones la comparación entre dos o más conjuntos como equivalentes, aunque pueden ser asimétricos. Es decir, si hay un signo igual, una flecha u otro signo en el medio de una fórmula, es porque es posible unir dos conjuntos a través de alguna relación de igualdad, transformación, reacción, etc. Si a = a ‘, es porque a y a’ son comparables, pero también lo suficientemente diferentes como para justificar la existencia de la ecuación.

Entonces, si vemos una imagen compuesta por dos registros fotográficos prácti-camente idénticos, cuadros iguales de una pared de azulejos en la que un espejo refleja otra sección de azulejos blancos, entendemos rápidamente que a (la por-ción izquierda de la foto) es igual a ‘( la porción correcta). ¿Pero sería realmente necesario probar esta igualdad que es tan obvia con una ecuación fotográfica? ¿Sería necesario imprimir estas imágenes como una sola? Quizás lo sería, sobre todo si notamos que, de hecho, no son idénticos. Primero, debido a la diferencia entre los actos fotográficos: uno coloca las baldosas en la pared enfocadas, la otra desplaza la distancia focal entre las lentes para detenerse en las otras baldo-sas, las reflejadas por el espejo. La diferencia, dado que son superficies similares, es sutil, se mezcla con el delicado cambio de enfoque que experimentan nuestros ojos en todo momento para mantener la conciencia de la profundidad que están discerniendo. La discreta asimetría de estas imágenes hace palpable un volumen espacial real descrito en una superficie fotográfica plana y bidimensional.

Entonces, hay una diferencia en la misma superficie entre las dos partes de la imagen. Es lo que aparece con arañazos, manchas oscuras, defectos mi-núsculos que podrían ser manchas en la blancura de las baldosas, polvo flo-tando frente a la lente o incluso imprecisiones del papel y la impresión. No importa, porque lo que revelan es la falibilidad de los materiales cuando se les solicita que se correspondan con ideas abstractas. Hay fisuras distin-tas en cada mitad del trabajo, que demuestran que, incluso cuando se orga-niza como una ecuación, la materialidad de lo real se resiste a la abstracción.

Muchos de los trabajos en la exhibición de Ding Musa, principalmente cuan-do hay dos o más partes similares, invitan al espectador a examinar posibles diferencias entre ellos, percibiendo relaciones de equivalencia aparente y la desigualdad infinita que trae la realidad. Es una práctica que también fomen-taría la sospecha de la “exactitud” defectuosa que la educación aplica a los campos del conocimiento con mayor afinidad por las fórmulas y ecuaciones.

Pero la diferencia entre dos cosas no siempre es el principio activo en el trabajo de Ding Musa. A veces vemos una unidad, como el trabajo que abre la exhibición: un círculo hecho de lodo roscado, también llamado “tornillo infinito”, a través de cuya longitud se puede insertar un tornillo, una “tuerca”. Aquí no hay compara-ciones tan obvias. Están llenas de metáforas de la unidad. El círculo y el punto. La representación del átomo de hidrógeno. La serpiente (la barra) que se vuelve infinita cuando se traga su propia cola. Si se tratara de una ecuación, podría ser una función en la que b -> b, es decir, en la que algo tiende hacia sí mismo. O bien, en el que b tiende hacia el infinito (positivo o negativo). Claramente, hay algún tipo de ajetreo o truco aquí, porque de lo contrario, ¿cómo habría entrado la tuerca en el perno sin cabos sueltos? El hecho es que ninguna ecuación es ver-daderamente finita y cerrada. Su fisura aparece en el límite de lo probable. Y la improbabilidad de la perfección se vuelve más fuerte más adelante, al final de la sala, cuando este trabajo se encuentra por segunda vez, idéntico pero diferente.

El artista Jeff Wall dijo que si la fotografía tuviera que compararse con una forma literaria, sería con la poesía en prosa. En el caso de la obra de Ding Musa, po-dríamos pensar en palíndromos y poemas de estructura simétrica, o, mirando un conjunto de varias obras, pensar en historias de literatura fantástica con una narrativa circular, en la que terminamos más o menos donde comenzamos de, solo transformado.

En lo que respecta a su organización compositiva, el trabajo a veces recuerda formas pictóricas, esquemas constructivos con sus planos de color, ritmos y dia-gonales. En estos momentos, no es un accidente, ni es algo que “justifique” las obras. Sería plausible pensar que esto sucede porque Ding tiene en común con la tradición del arte constructivo concreto de los años 50 y 60 un interés en el pensamiento lógico organizado en ecuaciones simples, que por esta misma ra-zón busca fricción con el diseño geométrico. La diferencia es que, mientras que en el contexto anterior la lógica debe permanecer pura, apenas sombreada por la intuición, en el contexto actual se muestra que demuestra sus limitaciones y fisuras, por sutiles que puedan ser.

Le corresponde a cada observador de estos trabajos emprender una determina-da tarea de razonamiento y proyección lógica, orientada por la concisión compo-sitiva de los trabajos reunidos. Si, al final, todo parece altamente matemático, es posible comenzar todo de nuevo y simplemente jugar a “encontrar siete errores”, como en la sección de rompecabezas de los periódicos alguna vez. En cualquier caso, es mejor no olvidar que incluso las más mínimas diferencias, si las obser-vamos muy de cerca, en el límite, tienden hacia el infinito.

PARÊNTESIS

Singly or in pairs, with parallelisms or mirror images, the recent work of Ding Musa calls to mind equations – chemical formulae, algebraic proportions, geo-metric equivalences, and equilibria of forces. They are fundamental notations in all schooling because they enable us to express, quantify and calculate relations-hips between more or less abstract volumes.

The systems of perception elaborated by Ding Musa (usually photographs, thou-gh they may also be objects, installations or videos) share with equations the comparison between two or more sets as equivalents, although they may be asymmetrical. That is to say, if there is an equal sign, an arrow or other sign in the middle of a formula, that is because it is possible to join two sets through some relationship of equality, transformation, reaction, etc. If a=a’, it is because a and a’ are comparable, but also sufficiently different to justify the existence of the equation.

So if we see an image composed of two practically identical photographic re-cords, equal frames of a tiled wall in which a mirror reflects another section of white tiles, we quickly understand that a (the left portion of the photo) is equal to a’ (the right portion). But would it actually be necessary to prove this equality that is so obvious with such a photographic equation? Would it be necessary to print these images as one? Perhaps it would, above all if we notice that they are not in fact identical. First, because of the difference between the photogra-phic acts: one places tiles on the wall in focus, the other shifts the focal distance between the lenses to stop at the other tiles, those reflected by the mirror. The difference, since they are such similar surfaces, is a subtle one, it gets mixed up with the delicate change of focus that our eyes undergo at all times to maintain awareness of the depth they are discerning. The discreet asymmetry of these images makes palpable a real spatial volume described in a planar and 2-dimen-sional photographic surface.

Then, there is a difference in the same surface between the two parts of the image. It’s what appears with scratches, dark spots, miniscule flaws that could be stains on the whiteness of the tiles, dust floating in front of the lens, or even impreci-sions of the paper and printing. It doesn’t matter, because what they reveal is the fallibility of the materials when prompted to correspond with abstract ideas. There are distinct fissures in each half of the work, which demonstrate that, even when organized as an equation, the materiality of the real resists abstraction.

Many of the works at Ding Musa’s exhibit, chiefly when there are two or more similar parts, invite the spectator to scrutinize possible diffe-rences between them, perceiving relationships of apparent equivalen-ce and the infinite inequality that reality brings. It is a practice that would also foster suspicion of the flawed “exactness” that education applies to fields of knowledge with greater affinity for formulae and equations.

But the difference between two things is not always the active principle in the work of Ding Musa. Sometimes we look at a unity, such as the work that opens the exhibit: a circle made of threaded mud, also called “infinite screw,” through whose length a screw can be inserted, a “nut.” Here there are no such obvious comparisons. They are brimming with metaphors of unity. The circle and the dot. The representation of the hydrogen atom. The snake (the bar) that beco-mes infinite when it swallows its own tail. If it were an equation, it could be a function in which b -> b, that is, in which something tends towards itself. Or else, in which b tends towards the infinite (positive or negative). Clearly the-re is some kind of hustle or trick here, because otherwise, how would the nut have entered onto the bolt without any loose ends? The fact is that no equa-tion is truly finite and closed. Its fissure appears at the limit of the probable. And the improbability of perfection becomes stronger later on, at the end of the room, when this work is encountered for a second time, identical but different.

The artist Jeff Wall said that if photography had to be compared to a literary form, it would be with poetry in prose. In the case of Ding Musa’s work, we might think in palindromes and poems of symmetrical structure, or, looking at a set of several works, think of stories of fantastic literature with a circular narrative, in which we end more or less where we start from, only transformed.

As far as its compositional organization is concerned, the work is sometimes reminiscent of pictorial forms, constructive schemes with their planes of color, rhythms and diagonals. At these times, it’s not an accident, nor is it something that “justifies” the works. It would be plausible to think that this happens be-cause Ding has in common with the tradition of constructive concrete art of the 1950’s and 60’s an interest in logical thinking organized in simple equations, which for this very reason looks for friction with the geometric design. The diffe-rence is that, while in the former context the logic must remain pure, barely sha-ded by intuition, in the present context it is shown to demonstrate its limitations and fissures, subtle though they may be.

It behooves each observer of these works to undertake a certain task of rea-soning and logical projection, oriented by the compositional conciseness of the works assembled. If, at the end, everything seems highly mathematical, it is pos-sible to start all over again and simply play “find seven mistakes,” as in the puzzle section of newspapers once upon a time. At all events, it’s best not to forget that even the slightest differences, if we observe them very closely, at the boundary, tend towards the infinite.

RESONANCIAS

Resonancias es un proyecto expositivo que pone en común por primera vez el trabajo de Iñaki Domingo y Ding Musa, dos artistas que pertenecen a una misma generación de creadores y que, a ambos lados de un mismo océano, compar-ten intereses creativos relacionadas con conceptos como la luz, la percepción, el espacio o la forma geométrica. Cuando nos fijamos en una imagen sabiendo que es una fotografía, habitualmente nos lleva a tratar de entender qué realidad está representando. Este es un proceso natural por el cual buscamos compren-der el mundo que nos rodea, atendiendo a la necesidad de conocer su origen de procedencia. En los trabajos de Domingo y Musa este proceso parece ser menos directo y evidente, un camino que conduce al espectador a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza y las cualidades intrínsecas de las obras a las que se enfrenta. Con el intento de cuestionar la función y la utilidad de las imágenes existentes, y con la inquietud de buscar otras formas posibles de relacionarse con ellas, ambos artistas proponen una nueva construcción visual del mundo, de las posibilidades de representarlo y de relacionarse con él desde lo fotográfico. En este sentido, buscan expandir la concepción tradicional de la fotografía como soporte de re-presentación, para reflexionar sobre sus propiedades intrínsecas. Las obras in-cluidas en la exposición tratan la cuestión de lo perceptivo desde distintas pers-pectivas. Son fotografías, vídeos, objetos e instalaciones que carecen de temática, narración o referente en un sentido tradicional, y proponen una experiencia con-templativa, un retorno a la unidad estructural de la imagen y la materia de la que se compone, enlazando con preocupaciones quizá más propias de otras discipli-nas del arte contemporáneo.Son aproximaciones que cuestionan la naturaleza de lo visual y rompen con la concepción de bidimensionalidad intrínseca al medio, hacen un recorrido de ida y vuelta de la pared al espacio volumétrico y viceversa, resuenan en sí mismas, y entre ellas, se llaman unas a otras, se enfrentan y se complementan. Inevita-blemente, hacen referencia a la realidad, aunque tienen como punto de partida la abstracción. En este sentido, hay también un interés político manifiesto más allá de una lectura evidente. El proceso de representación al que está sometido la imagen así como la voluntad de retornar a una unidad visual elemental, nos obliga a repensar la manera en la que nos relacionamos con el entorno que nos circunda y a analizarlo desde una perspectiva crítica.

RESONANCIAS

Resonancias is an exhibition project that brings together for the first time the work of Iñaki Domingo and Ding Musa, two artists who belong to the same ge-neration of creators and who, on both sides of the same ocean, share creative interests related to concepts such as light, perception, space or geometric form. When we look at an image knowing that it is a photograph, it usually leads us to try to understand what reality it is representing. This is a natural process by which we seek to understand the world around us, attending to the need to know its origin. In the works of Domingo and Musa this process seems to be less direct and evident, a path that leads the viewer to reflect on the nature and intrinsic qualities of the works he or she is facing. In an attempt to question the function and usefulness of existing images, and with a concern to find other possible ways of relating to them, both artists propose a new visual construction of the world, of the possibilities of representing it and relating to it from the photographic point of view. In this sense, they seek to expand the traditional concept of pho-tography as a medium of representation, to reflect on its intrinsic properties. The works included in the exhibition address the issue of perception from diffe-rent perspectives. They are photographs, videos, objects and installations that lack subject matter, narrative or reference in a traditional sense, and propose a contemplative experience, a return to the structural unity of the image and the material of which it is composed, linking it to concerns perhaps more typical of other contemporary art disciplines.

They are approaches that question the nature of the visual and break with the conception of two-dimensionality intrinsic to the medium, make a round trip from the wall to volumetric space and vice versa, resonate in themselves, and between them, they call each other, confront each other and complement each other. Inevitably, they refer to reality, although they have abstraction as their starting point. In this sense, there is also a manifest political interest beyond an obvious reading. The process of representation to which the image is subjected, as well as the will to return to an elemental visual unit, forces us to rethink the way we relate to the environment around us and to analyse it from a critical perspective.

En su exposición debut en la galería Raquel Arnaud, Ding Musa reúne en “Ecuaciones” una serie de obras que tratan al mismo tiempo con el concepto de límite infinito. “La idea del infinito como una experiencia sensorial fallida, o como un intento humano de experimentarlo a través de la estética combinada con las matemáticas y la representación y sus límites”, enfatiza el artista.

Estas obras recientes de Musa, fotografías, objetos metálicos, paredes de azulejos e instalación con espejos, fotografías, individuales o en pares, con paralelos o espejos, según el crítico Paulo Miyada, nos hacen pensar en fórmulas químicas, proporciones algebraicas, equivalencias geométricas y equilibrio de fuerzas “Son notaciones fundamentales para toda educación porque nos permiten expresar, cuantificar y calcular relaciones entre cantidades más o menos abstractas”, dice.

In his debut exhibition at the Raquel Arnaud gallery, Ding Musa brings together in “Equations” a series of works that deal at the same time with the concept of infinite limit. “The idea of infinity as a failed sensory experience, or as a human attempt to experience it through aesthetics combined with mathematics and representation and its limits”, emphasizes the artist.

These recent works by Musa, photographs, metallic objects, tile walls and installations with mirrors, photographs, individual or in pairs, with parallels or mirrors, according to the critic Paulo Miyada, make us think of chemical formulas, algebraic proportions, geometric equivalences and equilibrium of forces “They are fundamental notations for all education because they allow us to express, quantify and calculate relations between more or less abstract quantities”, he says.

BALDIO

En “Baldio” (2006), Ding Musa continúa su investigación caracterizada por el estudio de campos y paisajes deshabitados, coeficientes disponibles para el cultivo y la construcción. Según el artista, hay referencias en estos campos que apuntan al objetivo de la construcción en cuestión. Las líneas del campo, el horizonte son límites que están disponibles para ciertos fines, así como las luces, los trípodes y otros elementos que aparecen en la serie de retratos “Fundo infinito” (2006). Dichas delimitaciones apuntan a límites técnicos y lingüísticos.

According to the artist, there are references in these fields that point to the objective of the construction in question. The lines of the field, the horizon are limits that are available for certain purposes, as well as the lights, tripods and other elements that appear in the series of portraits “Fundo infinito” (2006). These boundaries point to technical and linguistic limits.
