Descripción Trade Paperback. Condición: New. In 1968, the Italian artist Alighiero Boetti renamed himself Alighiero e('and') Boetti, effectively expressing the duality of his personality andhis work--and, by extension, the dichotomies of society and culture and art andlife. Boetti was a central figure in the arte povera movement, a group of Italianartists in the late 1960s who expressly distanced themselves from commercializationand the slickness of Pop Art. These artists worked with a wide range ofnonconventional materials--from wool and vegetables to silk and dirt. Thisillustrated study examines Boetti's 1988 work Map (or Mappa), one of the artist'sseries of woven tapestry maps of the world. In the cartography of this Map, eachcountry is depicted by its flag; its pre-postcommunist picture of the world showsthe Soviet Union as a vast expanse of red in the upper eastern corner, projectingthe last image of a long-failed socialist utopia. Opposed to 'the myth oforiginality,' Boetti saw his role as that of triggering a work of art ratherthan executing it. Map (and the rest of the series) was based on a schema designedby Boetti's friend and collaborator Rinaldo Rossi and embroidered by a team ofcraftswomen in Kabul, Aghanistan. The finished work, with its brightly colored, painstakingly woven national flags, transforms the rigid norms of state divisioninto a maze of colors. Map offers not just the beauty of a handcrafted carpet but amovingly interwoven pattern of interdependence that the world too often fails torecognize. Pier Luigi Tazzi is a critic, lecturer, and curator, currently based inCapalle, Italy. Alighiero e Boetti (1940-1994) was a central figure of the artepovera movement of radical Italian artists in the 1960s. A study of Boetti's 1988 work Mappa, a tapestry map of the pre-postcommunist world made of brightly colored, painstakingly woven national flags; illustrated with many color images.
