2017 Programme
Event #2
Michele Mari
Caught in the mesh
The system of existing relationships that create impediments and entrapments can be considered a network, like the bricks in The Wall. At the same time, networks are formed by our compulsions and neuroses, automatic responses and preconceptions, our rituals and fetishes. In this sense, Michele Mari’s books provide a vast array of samples: from the ascetic practice of puzzles to arithmomania, from mental tailspins of a computistic and classificatory nature to the interiorization of taboos and dogmas, from the weight of literary and metaphorical legacies to the slavery of idolatry and collecting, all the way to atavistic tares.
