\"Valie Gr\u00e0cies a una breu ressenya de Mart\u00ed Manen<\/a> publicada en aquesta mateixa tribuna, em vaig animar a llegir \u201cThe Family Fang\u201d, de Kevin Wilson, un llibre pertanyent al cada vegada m\u00e9s ric g\u00e8nere de les novel\u00b7les dedicades a l\u2019art, del que Iv\u00e1n de la Nuez ha donat bones mostres<\/a>. L\u2019obra narra amb efic\u00e0cia i sentit de l\u2019humor les aventures de Caleb i Camille Fang, una parella de performers<\/em> que adquireixen certa fama realitzant acciones en espais p\u00fablics, la finalitat de la qual \u00e9s alterar el curs normal de les coses. Els protagonistes de la novel\u00b7la s\u00f3n uns especialistes en crear situacions absurdes que provoquen incomoditat, sorpr\u00e8s i desconcert a la gent que, incidentalment, es veu involucrada en elles, sense ser ni tant sols conscients de participar en projectes \u201cart\u00edstics\u201d. En l\u2019estela d\u2019artistes com Valie Export i Peter Weibel, els Fang duen a terme accions tan estramb\u00f2tiques com ho s\u00f3n escenificar una declaraci\u00f3 d\u2019amor p\u00fablica durant un vol en avi\u00f3 o organitzar la seva pr\u00f2pia boda en repetides ocasions sense que els pastors que participaven en les successives cerim\u00f2nies sabessin que la parella ja s\u2019havia casat amb anterioritat. <\/p>\n

Kevin Wilson es val dels Fang per oferir-nos una entretinguda par\u00f2dia dels creadors que, sobre tot a partir de la d\u00e8cada dels 1970, s\u2019han obstinat en dissoldre les barreres entre art i vida, mitjan\u00e7ant unes accions que tenen lloc en el m\u00f3n \u201creal\u201d. L\u2019escriptor nord-americ\u00e0 ofereix un retrat dels artistes contemporanis que no \u00e9s precisament ben\u00e8vol: els protagonistes de la narraci\u00f3 s\u00f3n uns personatges una mica pat\u00e8tics, que s\u2019entretenen escenificant unes accions m\u00e9s aviat f\u00fatils i mancades de subst\u00e0ncia, la justificaci\u00f3 te\u00f2rica de les quals \u00e9s m\u00e9s aviat dubtosa. Els Fang s\u00f3n uns artistes de riure, i el seu art tamb\u00e9 ho \u00e9s. No obstant, el que resulta m\u00e9s atractiu d\u2019aquests creadors ficticis \u00e9s que no s\u00f3n tant diferents de molts artistes reals, que tots coneixem. Caleb i Camille, protagonistes d\u2019una ficci\u00f3 c\u00f2mica, recorden tremendament a alguns personatges els noms dels quals ocupen nombroses p\u00e0gines de llibres i revistes d\u2019art contemporani. <\/p>\n

Amb tot, el tret m\u00e9s notable dels Fang \u00e9s el seu ple convenciment de la superioritat de la creaci\u00f3 art\u00edstica respecte qualsevol altre \u00e0mbit de la vida. Guiats per la certesa de que l\u2019art \u00e9s el fi \u00faltim que ha de guiar la seva exist\u00e8ncia, deixen que les seves pretensions art\u00edstiques determinin les seves decisions i els seus actes. Ells atorguen a l\u2019art una dimensi\u00f3 transcendent i el situen, per tant, m\u00e9s enll\u00e0 de qualsevol consideraci\u00f3 moral. Els Fang s\u00f3n capa\u00e7os de fer qualsevol cosa en nom de la creaci\u00f3 art\u00edstica sense mostrar el menor remordiment per aquest motiu. Tant \u00e9s aix\u00ed, que no tenen el menor escr\u00fapol a l\u2019hora d\u2019utilitzar els seus fills menors d\u2019edat com a part de les seves performances i s\u00f3n incapa\u00e7os de comprendre que ells poden negar-se a participar en els seus projectes delirants. <\/p>\n

En el fons, els Fang semblen una met\u00e0fora d\u2019una manera d\u2019entendre l\u2019art que ha gaudit d\u2019una gran influ\u00e8ncia des dels inicis de la modernitat. Es tracta d\u2019una visi\u00f3 de la creaci\u00f3 \u2013que ja es detecta en el romanticisme i que ha arribat fins a nosaltres a trav\u00e9s de les successives avantguardes- segons la qual l\u2019art ocupa un lloc central com a motor de l\u2019emancipaci\u00f3 humana. Des d\u2019aquesta perspectiva, la producci\u00f3 art\u00edstica gaudeix d\u2019un estatus especial que li permet justificar tots els seus excessos i arbitrarietats. En la mesura en que ocupa una posici\u00f3 de superioritat davant de qualsevol altre \u00e0mbit d ela vida, l\u2019art no ha de rendir comptes davant de ning\u00fa, si no \u00e9s davant de s\u00ed mateix. <\/p>\n

Els Fang encarnen un tipus d\u2019artista que, degut al seu (suposat) car\u00e0cter extra-ordinari, est\u00e0 alliberat de tota responsabilitat moral: pot actuar amb impunitat perqu\u00e8 en l\u2019art hi troba la seva coartada i justificaci\u00f3. \u00c9s un creador que se sent legitimat per a cometre qualsevol exc\u00e9s perqu\u00e8 ho fa en nom de la producci\u00f3 art\u00edstica. Caleb i Camille Fang representen a aquest tipus d\u2019artista que encara somia en estetitzar per complet la nostra realitat. \u00c9s l\u2019hereu tard\u00e0 de les ambicions totalitzadores de moviments com el funcionalisme o De Stjl, que van aspirar a edificar un m\u00f3n dominat per l\u2019est\u00e8tica maquinal i la ra\u00f3 abstracta, o com el surrealisme, que va somniar en imposar un univers dominat pels deliris paranoics i les pulsions inconscients. Com molts exponents de les avantguardes hist\u00f2riques, l\u2019artista que encarna els Fang posseeix una visi\u00f3 totalitarista de la tasca art\u00edstica, perqu\u00e8 ent\u00e9n que aquesta pot determinar qualsevol aspecte de l\u2019exist\u00e8ncia. <\/p>\n

Caleb i Camille Fang representen un tipus de creador que \u00e9s en s\u00ed anacr\u00f2nic. La seva idea de l\u2019art com a missi\u00f3 els situa en un temps que no \u00e9s el nostre. Per aix\u00f2, el seu comportament ens sembla c\u00f2mic i pat\u00e8tic. Ara b\u00e9, en la manera d\u2019actuar dels Fang podem detectar nombrosos del tics dels que fan gala molts creadors actuals. I \u00e9s que, despr\u00e9s de tot, la novel\u00b7la de Kevin Wilson pot entendre\u2019s com una burla a gran part de l\u2019art contemporani, al que li costa entendre que la seva amoralitat i el seu maximalisme no s\u00f3n m\u00e9s que una proba de que ja pertany a un altre temps. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
