The Play-of-Painting
Expressing oneself
Mankind has always used traced signs to communicate. The image has allowed to enter into relationship with others other men and with higher powers. But that the trace could be an emission without an intended recipient, this remained an unknown fact.
Yet, it is when it is no longer intended for others – relieved from the necessity to be understood by a recipient – that manifestation of the trace becomes Expression of the Organic Memory, and this has unforeseen consequences. Such aspect of the ability of transmission can only emerge under the right conditions. The Expression is triggered and stimulated in the Closlieu™ (the enclosed place) which shelters it from influences and distractions.
Imagine this place, away from daily life pressure! Imagine the reunion, in this place, of a dozen persons who have unlearned competition, because what is being enhanced here is their diversity – diversity of age, personality, and origins. Finally, imagine an activity that has the virtues of a game and the seriousness of a task in which are concentrated all the abilities of one’s being.
But is it possible to imagine such an involvement – a task driven by an inner necessity, and which will not produce artwork? It needs no further explanation and provides a pleasure never felt before because, through this Trace, is released a very ancient organic retention. Formulation is theonly manifestation of the Organic Memory. This is what the Trace in the Closlieu is. It belongs to a coherent and universal system; it can be expressed by all beings, regardless of their social conditioning
