RESUMO-Motivado pelo relatório sobre a restituição à origem do património cultural africano em França, publicado em novembro de 2018, 1 a comunicação reflete sobre essa agenda e sentido de objetos que assim circulam entre países e continentes. Com que passados, narrativas, apropriações e re-interpelação para potencial ressignificação por via de diálogos criativos e reflexivos sobre a póscolonialidade, arte e África contemporânea. O relatório concretiza o anúncio do Presidente Emanuel Macron, durante a sua vista a África em 2017, em dar o passo histórico da restituição em França e, espera-se, servindo de modelo para outros países na Europa cuja cota de património africano se mantém à guarda, ou refém, de museus, coleções e mercado. Enquanto "matéria sensível" a primeira receção desse relatório em defesa de "tempos de retorno" para uma "nova ética relacional" teve, em vez do aplauso unânime, mais expectativa, apreensão e reação. O impacto do relatório suscitou, no entanto, movimentações para o repatriamento deste património que se discutem entre políticos, especialistas e museus. Resta ver como decorre a presente e/ou futura, gradual e modulada, devolução de milhares de peças a África, entre as quais muitas da singular e preciosa Arte do Benim. Caso bem interessante na atual conjuntura, e para além de França, e pela saga que transporta, para que destino no presente. Ex-libris de uma "Renascença africana" 2 que floresceu nos séculos XV-XVI no antigo Reino do Benim, um dos maiores de África ao sudoeste da atual Nigeria, esta arte real, brilhante e idiossincrática pela sua forma premier mas não "primitivista" cumula uma história de duplicidades, excelência e violência. À origem, violência na ligação com a escravatura que o Benim explorou como reino autónomo. Grande parte do latão e bronze das esculturas veio das algemas que os portugueses usaram no Benim, onde chegaram em 1485, como moeda para a compra de escravos. No século XIX, teve lugar a violência colonial com a expedição punitiva dos britânicos ao Benim em 1897, um massacre e o saque de mais de duas mil peças. Assim chegou a Arte do Benim à Europa, poucas peças ditas "curiosidades" se conheciam antes, e depois de um leilão infame essa arte saqueada foi dispersa por instituições e proprietários privados, até nos EUA. A Nigeria reclama o tesouro nacional desde a independência nos anos 60 e em finais de 2018, coincidindo com a data do relatório acima, anunciou planos para o seu novo Museu Real do Benim 3 que deve acolher as peças.

Resumo Este texto observa a mobilidade cultural em agendas europeias: institucionais, políticas, práticas e reflexivas. Adaptando a ampla perspetiva da mobilidade cultural ao foco, o texto aborda três dimensões principais. A dimensão profissional reporta-se a condições e tipos de mobilidade dos artistas e agentes culturais nas suas carreiras. A dimensão dialógica refere-se à mobilidade implicada em atividades de cooperação cultural e diálogos interculturais. A dimensão espacial relaciona-se com geografias culturais que suscitam diversas mobilidades, tais como a rede de capitais europeias da cutura, cidades smart/criativas, e rotas culturais do património ao longo da Europa.
Abstract This text oversees the issue of cultural mobility on European agendas: institutional, political, practical and reflective. Adapting the broad perspective of cultural mobility to the focus, the text addresses three main dimensions. The professional dimension refers to the conditions and types of mobility of artists and cultural agents in their careers. The dialogical dimension refers to the mobility involved in cultural cooperation activities and intercultural dialogues. The spatial dimension relates to cultural geographies that trigger diverse mobilities such as the European capitals of culture, smart/creative cities, and cultural heritage routes across Europe.

Resumo-Contribuição sobre culturas móveis, este texto aborda circulações físicas, visuais e imaginárias da arte com passagem do museu e de exposições para o espaço público. Arte de indoors para outodoors, com que mutações nos quadros da sua visitabilidade, semiologia, mediações e modos de percepção vs. recepção. Algumas recriações de Las Meninas de Diego Velázquez e Zodiac Heads/Circle of Animals de Ai Weiwei são exemplos em contraponto que ilustram a problemática da mobilidade, com metamorfoses e itinerâncias. Mover o olhar significa seguir essas viagens como um salto interpretativo sobre contextos e relações com a arte. Palavras-chave: mobilidade, receção, arte, Las Meninas de Diego Velazquez e recriações; Zodiac Heads/Circle of Animals de Ai Weiwei

Abstract-As a contribution about mobile cultures, this text addresses physical, visual, and imaginary circulations of art with passage from the museum, and exhibitions, to the public space. Thus, art from the indoors to outdoors, with which mutations in frames of visitability, semiology, mediations, and modes of perception vs. reception. Some recreations of Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas parallel to Zodiac Heads/Circle of Animals by Ai Weiwei are contrasting examples to illustrate the issue of mobility, with metamorphoses and itinerancies. Moving the gaze means to follow such journeys as a interpretative leap on contexts and relations with art.

Key-words: mobility, reception, art; Diego Velázquez’s «Las Meninas/ The Maids of Honour» and recreations; Ai Weiwei’s «Zodiac Heads/Circle of Animals»

MARTIN KEMP / 16 May 2016

«Attribution and other issues, mainly Leonardo da Vinci»

After speaking at the «Art in Authentication» Congress held in The Hague (11,12, 13 May at the Louwman Museum)  confirm that I am withdrawing the "advice service" I have been providing. This is the relevant statement:

ATTRIBUTION AND OTHER ENQUIRIES


Martin Kemp


After almost 40 years of responding carefully to every message about attribution and other enquiries, including many concerning supposed “secrets” hidden in Leonardo’s works, I am stepping aside from this aspect of my activity. As a professor, I have been committed to the notion of public service, and have not taken any money for opinions, but the quantity of material I receive and the abuse to which I am subsequently subject on the internet means that in the IT age this ideal is no longer sustainable. I am sorry. This is a pity, but my work as a historian in public is being seriously distorted, not least by the unnecessary personalisation of arguments about matters of judgement.  I will continue to engage selectively with a few major items/issues and with important developments in the academic and public domains.

Leonardo La Bella Principessa: personalisation of the debate

In view the personalised nature of recent postings on the web about the attribution to Leonardo da Vinci of the profile of Bianca Sforza on vellum, I wish to make the following statement.

I wholly reject the personalisation of the debate. A matter of professional judgement is just that and no more. I would rather be right than wrong, but no-one has a divine prerogative to be right. The totality of the evidence about Leonardo's authorship and the identity of the sitter presents what is close to an open-and-shut case. If genuinely new and decisive evidence indicates to the contrary I will accept that.
Ultimately a single attribution is not a "big deal" to me, either in the local terms of my publications on Leonardo over 50 years, or far more importantly in human terms - it is not a matter of life and death, and pales into insignificance in the light of the problems faced by those less fortunate than those of us who have the time and means at debate such matters.

(I will not be saying more on this unless genuinely new evidence comes to light, with the exception of a long-arranged talk at the Art in Authentication Congress in the Hague on 12th May, and a chapter in my forthcoming book, Living with Leonardo [2017].)

«La Bella Principessa». Pisarek and allegations of forgery

After "Artibus et Historiae" declined to publish my response to Katarzyna Krzyzagórska-Pisarek's  article in Artibus et Historiae (XXXVI, 215, pp. 61– 89), it has been posted in up-dated form on the AIA «Art in Authentication» website:

http://authenticationinart.org/aia-archive/aia-literature/
under the the title:
Martin Kemp «Leonardo Da Vinci, La Bella Principessa: Errors, Misconceptions, And Allegations of Forgery», Oxford, 2016.

One of the big problems with the field of connoisseurship is that it often becomes overly personalised. It involves complex issues of perception and cognition that are quite malleable. We should be able to disagree in matters of fine judgement without impugning someone's competence and integrity
- unless of course their competence is not up to the job, in which case the demonstration of errors will be enough.

In my essay I have concentrated on criteria other than those of style and "eye".

My other piece on the AiA website deals with the different kinds of evidence, and how they might be evaluated:

Title: ART AND HERITAGE: CROSSING IMAGINARIES IN EUROPEAN SITES

Abstract:

This paper refers to a project, «Dialogues with Images: Art Heritage and Narratives for Europe» (2014-2016) that was in part inspired by the call for «A New Narrative for Europe». An initiave launched by the Presidency of the European Comission along 2013-14. Besides debates and critical issues around the notion of a unique narrative for a plural Europe, it was relevant the focus on symbolical dimensions to search new paradigm of thinking and even to re/create European imagery by new symbols be it by more radical forms of imagination as in contemporary arte, or a renewed relationship  with our historical heritage. In other words, rather than only the interpretation and preservation of it, a re/interpellation of the past driven by issues and gaze from the present. Moreover, the same period also coincided with the promotion of the heritage area as strategic for the European agenda by a resolution of the European Council in May 2014.

«Dialogues with Images» explored an approach based on iconographies of art and historical heritage to reflect on Europe, meanings and narratives, which Europe? Among several lines, this paper selects a presentation of examples for that re/interpellation at crossroads of past and present by interventions of contemporary art in historic sites. From milestones as the Parthénon in Athens and the Colosseum in Rome, to memorials, museums, and public spaces, there is a diversity of involvment by artists with the European heritage and remembrance. The paper recalls with images some works by Gary Hill, Bill Fontana, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Ilya Kabakov, Gustave Metzger, Atta Kim, among others.

This presentation brings a framework for cultural literacy that was drawn for the project "European Iconographies: Routes of a Imaginary Museum (2006-2012)". A project on art, historical heritage and memory in pathways in contemporary creation. The project was carried in partnership with Fernando Ribeiro (researcher and photographer) at CIES / ISCTE-IUL University Institute of Lisbon, and involved a vast collection of images. Digital images from the cyberspace as well as pictures taken in travels across the several cultural routes and European milestones in France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Spain, among other countries.

The conceptual frame of this conference defines “textuality” as weave of meanings for any cultural objet or artefact. A definition that may apply  to images as complex semiotic fields. Thick signs that require more than "sharing of the sensible", to quote a expression by Jacques Rancière, because apart the sensory enjoyment they require "sharing of the thinkable". The visual surface often hides a dense intertextuality (transtextuality and intermediality for some contemporary mixed forms) with affiliations, codes, conventions, encryptions and production of optical illusions. Beyond the literary meaning for cultural literary as competence to readability, it extends to visual, artistic and historical meanings to embrace the European heritage, too. But how is such competence among European citizens, mostly not a regular audiences of art or historical heritage, except in tourist visits? How are them exposed to and deal with multifaceted images pervading everywhere through diverse ways and mediations? And especially taking account of public spaces and the semiosphere of media images and cyberspace.

Indeed, it became a crucial axis for the issue of literacy grounded in contemporary environments of visuality, information and communication. From generic to specific, literacy is then a cognitive and pratical tool like a “wisdom” that converts the more superficial (and utilitarian) information into knowledge in which relies a consistent relation with cultural artefacts. Rather than mere exposure to images of European art and heritage. In our project we assumed literacy as "knowledge in use" (a current definition in some literacy studies) that calls for the notion of experience (eg. visits), parallel to the resources to decode textualities (eg. references). So, literacy is not limited to information (like a epidermal knowledge) neither to the educational capital (formal knowledge). Literacy is a cognitive and pragmatic concept that involves frames of action (contexts and uses) as well as visual, sensory, emotional, intellectual and argumentative skills to recognize, decipher, and produce opinion about cultural matters.

The presentation has several illustrations to show the passage from visuality (as visual surface) to visibility (through readability). Thus, literacy appears in the center of a quadrilateral of movements: images vs. experiences, and perception vs. reception. Furthermore, reception with literacy presupposes ability to formulate opinions based in reflexivity, another crucial concept. A complementary angle observes the process in multimodal sequences in which we consider how arouses the individuals’s interest in cultural subjects and the medations that may induce to such interest. A typology of such mediations along the process includes family, school, biography and professional cores; pedagogical, relational and institutional frames; and media as well as further influences related to public sphere.

The conceptual diagrams were first presented in the text “Leonardo with crowds: understanding admiration and attention” (Conde, 2014, text in Portuguese, previously posted at https://iscte-iul.academia.edu/idalinaconde). The text reflects on the issue of literacy looking at the crowds that flocked to the blockbuster exhibition Leonard da Vinci, Painter at the Court of Milan held at the National Gallery (november 9, 2011- february 5, 2012). The text ends with a visit to Musée du Louvre in Paris, again a place with crowds to see Mona Lisa and icones of imaginary museums. For London, we also have views on some contemporary art in Trafalgar Square, motive to think about different modes of reception for different kind of art, and to ask: with which visual or artistic literacy?

Speaking of art, this paper is less about the literal representation of concentration camps  than the ethics of representation of the human pain in broad sense. The universal pain, a lesson and legacy of the Holocaust that art may embrace through diverse ways, from the mnemonic to the metaphoric. The first, mainly documentary, vestigial, or narrative; the second more conceptual and ontological. In the elevation to the universal we are all commited with the Jewish tragedy  because Holocaust was a limit, a black hole, a colapse of the human civilization. In this  universalization, art may even erase the referent Holocaust, though remaining as trace and implicit source for symbols.

To illustrate the presentation brings different examples, from focused on  historical reconstruction, memory and trauma (as by the Portuguese artist Daniel Blaufuks) up to large installations by the French and German artists Christian Boltanski and Anselm Kiefer. Both have worked with reference to the Holocaust along their trajectories since the 80’s but these installations provide wide metaphors for i/mortality. In Personnes/Persons (2010), literally “people/nobodies”, Boltanski gave a infernal display like a concentration camp. Tonnes of clothes were disposed as graves. Death, pain, loss, identity, anonimity, all surrounded by the sound of heartbeats. “It’s not directly about the Holocaust, said the artist, but it is around the Holocaust”. In Sternenfall/ The Fall of the Stars (2007), Anselm Kiefer brought a scenario of devastation with some signs of resurrection. In his words, “the title refers to the birth and death of the universe with all these stars are born and die every day as humans. 100 million years for a star is maybe like a minute to us.” On the floor, a metal plate with an identification number: of a star or of a prisoner of Auschwitz? Anyway life and hope will overcome. “Sternenfall speaks this universal metabolism, metabolism of this nature and the stars. The title refers not only to our lives as the universe. "

Cette présentation départ du discours prononcé par André Malraux à Dakar (30 mars 1966) lors de la séance d’ouverture du colloque au cours du Premier Festival Mondial des Arts Nègres. André Malraux élève la sculpture au rang majeur des arts africains, et universel, car “c’est à travers sa sculpture que l’Afrique reprend sa place dans l’esprit des hommes”. Les masques africains étaient le paradigme pour le ces “arts premiers” et les relations avec l’art moderne, mais il y a d’autres cas dans la sculpture africaine. Comme celui, très singulier, de l’art royale du Benin dès les XV-XVIème siècles. Une Reine Perdue est ici exemple et métaphore de cet art avec une trajectoire sinueuse dans musées imaginaires. La présentation envisage la problématique de la métamorphose, notion capitale d’André Malraux, ayant en vue divers rapports passé/présent dans telle trajectoire jusqu’à l’art contemporain. En particulier du Bénin, representé par Romuald Hazoumé, artiste reconnu au plan international. Ses oeuvres montrent-elles quelles traces, ou absence de traces, de l’art “premier” du Bénin? En plus, de quelle Afrique nous parle cet art aujourd’hui?

This conference is about the image's agency. “Images can be willed”, it is said, “what’s in the imagination for now can become an agenda for practice and politics tomorrow”.  Based in a iconological approach, my purpose is to see agency in allegory in two media installations by Gary Hill: Frustrum and Guilt (2006-2007). Renowned for his “electronic linguistics”, Gary Hill takes a conceptual and radical approach to the media quite opposite to documentary video. Or uses of it as in "cinematic" and political trends in contemporary art since the 90's. Yet those installations seemed to have semantics that questioned the notion of value, money, power and decadence. In Frustrum, a computer-generated eagle was trapped within a pyramidal shaped electrical pylon while on the floor was a pool of black oil with a floating brick of pure gold, accompanied by the sentence: “for everything which is visible is a copy of that which is hidden.” Guilt showed five gold coins on motorized pedestals depicting the artist’s face being punched, accompanied by Latin phrases about guilt. A possible allegory of the decline of the Roman Empire. The self-infliction was crowned by a laurel branch and the statement “Ars est corpus vile: Art is a worthless body”. Maybe not.  Art acts by its shrewd and critical agency to oversee and reframe our world, even if only in the imaginary and utopia.

Esta comunicação aborda a crítica com a problemática mais ampla do reconhecimento nos espaços artísticos. A crítica é uma mediação fundamental, discursiva, e mais do judicativa: reflexiva. Ao invés da perspetiva liminar sobre a crítica para a imputação de valor, refere-se um estudo sobre arte contemporânea revelador de um espaço de reflexividade plural e partilhada em muitos aspetos por várias vozes da crítica, e de críticos. Reflexividade que produz inteligibilidade e pensamento sobre as práticas artísticas, antes de simplesmente julgar. É neste exercício da reflexividade que se manifesta o papel e poder simbólico da crítica. Poder propriamente intelectual e hermenêutico que permanece, para além de circunstâncias que debilitam a atividade profissional dos críticos no contexto nacional
