The EIBAB Biennale subject 2012:
TRANS (FORMS)
"Once upon a time there was a world where writing was unknown. A world different to ours, but nevertheless still human. Everything changed once writing was invented. But, maybe the writing was only revealed to humans and not invented by them. It is sure that, for thousands of years, writing was the secret recipe of spiritual texts, guarded by royalty or the keepers of sacred knowledge. Beyond its content, writing has an exterior, a visual feature. Transposing or “packaging” the idea into text implies an infinite variety of shapes and materials. In this way the writing and the book become an art object. A book is more than the content it holds; its physical structure, and visual impact are also part of it. In some oriental traditions, calligraphy was considered a spiritual pathway.
But what is happening writing today? With the book? Is there still any connection with the primary sense? Does writing have any connection with the human essence nowadays?”
