Christian Caliandro on Writing as Network of Connections in Contemporary Art
Christian Caliandro, an art historian and professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, explores the concept of writing as an "infrastructure of relationships" in contemporary art. Drawing on quotes from David Lynch, Jack Kerouac, Gertrude Stein, and Luigi Pirandello, he argues that writing must become a network of connections, an "autobiography of everyone." He references Manfredo Tafuri's analysis of Italian neorealism as a description of a traumatic encounter with reality. The article also mentions Adalberto Libera's Unità di Abitazione Orizzontale (1950-54) in Tuscolano, Rome. Caliandro is a member of the scientific committee of Symbola Foundation for Italian Qualities.
