Artist writing #17

Massimo Kaufmann asked me to write this piece about Stefano Arienti’s work for his editorial project of small artist monographs entitled ‘Pondus’.
I decided to attribute the status of work to some of my writings, including them in the archive as such only in 2024. This text was written without the knowledge that it would have assumed the status of work in the future.

Artist's writings
The elements that make up the usual act of an artist’s writing are used here as an integral part of the system-process-work, so much so that I decided to catalogue them in the archive not just as documents but also as works.
They were written either because other artists asked for them, or they accompanied projects, or were read during conferences, or are published works and new writings. They are writings that almost never have an assertive-declarative structure, but which could rather be described as an epistolary-text, a confessional-text, an explicative-text of a feeling, an empathetic-text, a dedication-text, a description-text, a diary-text, an examination-text, a dialogue-text, etc.
I decided to give the status of work to a series of my writings in 2024 and since then I have selected others to add to the sequence.
