Victoria Logan - A Mi Manera - Un Espacio Surrealista - interstellART


Artist Victoria Logan explains her intentions with her own words:

Al unir elementos psiquicos de lo imaginario, lo irracional y lo inconsciente, se libero a la pintura de su atadura a la imagen realista, asi como tambien la desprendio del concepto de espacio heredado del renacimiento, creando una pintura surrealista.

Un arte de formas abstractas, que inspiro una nueva sensibilidad, que exprese el pensamiento libre, sin control de inquietudes esteticas, a partir del impulso psiquico de lo imaginario y lo irracional como procesos de creacion artistica, creando un mundo absurdo, irracionnal, donde la razon no consigue someter al subconsciente.

En diversos casos busco inspiration en el subconsciente, el mundo de los suenos, la fantasia, la tecnica de la escritura y el estudio de las teorias del psicoanalisis, siguiendo los designios de los sentimientos mas de los de la razon. Hoy presento: "a mi manera", un modo de expresar mi gusto por el arte surrealista.

Victoria Logan


Durch die Verbindung von psychischen Elementen des Imaginären, Irrationalen und Unbewussten befreit sich die Malerei von ihrer Bindung an das realistische Bild und löst sich von der aus der Renaissance stammenden Raumauffassung, wodurch eine surrealistische Malerei entsteht.

Eine Kunst der abstrakten Formen, die eine neue Sensibilität inspiriert, die das freie Denken zum Ausdruck bringt, unkontrolliert von ästhetischen Bedenken, aus dem psychischen Impuls des Imaginären und des Irrationalen als Prozesse der künstlerischen Kreation, die eine absurde, irrationale Welt schaffen, in der die Vernunft das Unterbewusstsein nicht bändigen kann.

In verschiedenen Fällen suche ich Inspiration im Unterbewusstsein, in der Welt der Träume, in der Fantasie, in der Technik des Schreibens und im Studium der Theorien der Psychoanalyse, wobei ich eher den Entwürfen der Gefühle als denen des Verstandes folge. Heute stelle ich Ihnen "my way" vor, eine Art, meine Vorliebe für surrealistische Kunst zum Ausdruck zu bringen.

En unissant les éléments psychiques de l'imaginaire, de l'irrationnel et de l'inconscient, la peinture s'est libérée de son asservissement à l'image réaliste, ainsi que détachée du concept d'espace hérité de la Renaissance, créant ainsi une peinture surréaliste.

Un art de formes abstraites, qui a inspiré une nouvelle sensibilité, exprimant une pensée libre, non contrôlée par des préoccupations esthétiques, à partir de l'impulsion psychique de l'imaginaire et de l'irrationnel comme processus de création artistique, créant un monde absurde et irrationnel, où la raison ne parvient pas à subjuguer le subconscient.

Dans divers cas, je cherche l'inspiration dans le subconscient, le monde des rêves, la fantaisie, la technique d'écriture et l'étude des théories de la psychanalyse, en suivant les desseins des sentiments plutôt que ceux de la raison. Aujourd'hui, je vous présente : "ma façon", une manière d'exprimer mon goût pour l'art surréaliste.

By uniting psychic elements of the imaginary, the irrational and the unconscious, painting was freed from its ties to the realistic image, as well as detached from the concept of space inherited from the Renaissance, creating a surrealist painting.

An art of abstract forms, which inspired a new sensibility, expressing free thought, without control of aesthetic concerns, from the psychic impulse of the imaginary and the irrational as processes of artistic creation, creating an absurd, irrational world, where reason fails to subdue the subconscious.

In several cases I look for inspiration in the subconscious, the world of dreams, fantasy, the technique of writing and the study of the theories of psychoanalysis, following the designs of feelings rather than those of reason. Today I present: "my way", a way of expressing my taste for surrealist art.

Victoria Logan - Mental Health In Pandemic Times



1. What was your first association, when you heard about the topic "Reconnaissance In Times Of Darkness"?
Victoria: Associate the expression "recognition in times of darkness", with the situation we are experiencing, sadness, pain, anguish, fear and loneliness.

2. Reconnaissance is exploration conducted to gain information with observation, surveillance and knowledge. How did you 'explore' the darkness.
Explore the darkness, from my own experience, observing and analyzing the situation of ambiguity in people..

3 How long did the process of creation last for this exhibition?
The creation process was continuous and expressive, time stopping, when I reached the point of feeling that my work expressed my vision of the subject.

4. Which were the biggest obstacles?
There was no major obstacle, only the logical and normal in the implementation and organization of it.

5. What are the most important techniques, that you use for virtual art? How  did you use these to interpret the theme?
The techniques that I used to carry out my work were:
- Communication, playing with symmetry, simplicity and complexity of the human mind, balance and instability.
- Investigative and technological, research on the subject, resources and processes related to 3d and 2d software.

 
 
6. What does it mean for you to create art in virtual worlds? Is it different from creating art in RL?

Creating art in a virtual medium is very different for me than doing it in real life. Since in my personal case I would not have elements, materials that allow me to create 3d figures.
It could only take pictures.

7. What are your former experiences with art in virtual worlds? Have you taken part in themed  group collaborative projects? Or is your art usually more singular?
Participate in several collaborative projects, in several Grid, which allowed me to learn and grow in my work.

8. Which role does virtual art play in your country of origin according to your experiences?
In my country, virtual art constitutes a new field of artistic creation that is exploited by some associations, museums. Being a theme in continuous development and growth.

9. In which way was the creating of art helpful for you in the covid-crisis?
It helped me a lot since it allowed me to organize my vision on the subject, which I referred to in the exhibition.
As it also mobilized me in the face of the pandemic, taking me out of my passivity.

10. Which topic would be interesting to you as an artistic challenge in the  future?
It is impossible for me to think of a single issue, there are several important issues: gender violence, the climate emergency, world hunger, inequality, and love.

Reconnaissance In Times Of Darkness - Sub-Topics Of Each Artist

A pandemia is ruling the world in the moment and all of us suffer from that situation.
It evokes dark emotions of fear, hopelessness, isolation, sadness, grief, desperation, depression.
Is it possible in such a global crisis to learn and teach, to explore, to be creative?
What are the strategies to fight against all those negative physical and psychological impacts, which pull us down?

12 artists in Second Life and OSGrid try to give their answers in an artistic and creative way and to show their approach to the topic with their individual way of expression. They proof, that art and all cultural forms of expression can shed light on the darkness and enable mankind to use them as a strategy of orientation and processing of unexpected. It is helpful for themselves and for the visiting guests too, who can participate in the world of feelings and thoughts of the creators.

This blog provides from now every week informations about the topics of the artists, their actual bio as artists in virtual worlds and the landmark to their entrance-gate in the central landing-area. The gates can be accessed by just walking in and if they are off, then it can be done by clicking. Each art-installation has also a tp-pad, which leads back to the central landing area. All installations are immersive and some even interactive, so that you have to experience them at the place for a better understanding and appreciating.
The central landing spot is here: hg.osgrid.org:80:interstellART_exhibitions .

We are starting with Argentinian artist Victoria Logan. Her sub-topic is Mental Health In Pandemic Times and she explains her artwork as follows: The visual resources and expressive supports used in this montage represent the subjective resources that each person has to face situations. They will leave marks, they will be learnings, they will be traumas, they will be able to reinvent themselves and others will not. It is time for reconnaissance in times of pandemic, in times of darkness.

Sneak Preview: "Reconnaissance In Times Of Darkness" in OSGrid

 


Wailing women surround a polluted water puddle. They are dressed like figures from an ancient Greek tragedy or like wailing women, who were hired to mourn during funerals in many cultures. Why do they mourn?
In the puddle we see the garbadge of civilization, bottles, plastic bags and paper, chemicals etc. and, when we look closer human bones. A pandemia? A crime? Suicide? Carelessness? An accident? A symbol for the status of mankind and humanity in a threatened world, on a tortured planet. Our values and convictions are emerging in times of darkness and reveal our true achievements.
Dark times can insofar be seen as an advantage: they help to achieve reconnaissance.
Art in its divers options of expression is an optimal medium to express the emotional part of darkness. The additional features of virtual worlds are the immersion and interactivity, which help to dive deeply into the context and process the traumata and threats of the dark sides of life. Art can help to become aware of all variants of negative impacts.
As its best it can wake up the power to resist and lay the seed for a better future.
