IO_ I IS AN OTHER is a multidisciplinary artistic work of the Brazilian Italian artist CÉSAR MENEGHETTI that began in March 2010 and aims to investigate the liability of the border of mental disability and normality.
The artist has met on several occasions a group of people with mental disabilities who have chosen to call themselves "Gli Amici” (The Friends) and who worked for years, in the experimental art laboratories of the Community of Sant'Egidio in the outskirts of Rome.
“Je est un autre. Tant pis pour le bois qui se trouve violon, et Nargue aux inconscients, qui ergotent sur ce qu’ils ignorent tout à fait!”
Rimbaud's phrase "IO _I IS AN OTHER" written in 1871 is interpreted at different and arbitrary levels. Undoubtedly it reflects the autonomy of an artistic and relational process - open – that has already is continually moving the boundary of "normality."
Meneghetti’s work transforms the artist and the people, disabled or not, involved in the process. Brings all into play: subjects and objects change roles. In this new border, it takes place for a free reciprocity, despite the asymmetry of the condition: the artist interviews, photographs, films and, with the editors, do you turn to interview, photograph, film to affirm the right of expression (the right to look). The work takes its way ("I look, I listen") is not expected or planned, if not in structure and technology, guided only by a principle of reality/truth.
Through some of the artistic process César Meneghetti, contemporary artist, deconstructs reality. It gives birth to another location, it sets aside any prejudice safely adopted or considered in the context of existence.
As a new cartography of the contemporaneity, opening the possibility to "map" the interiority of the other: not an exercise in camouflage, not a process of analogue imitation, but a means of discovery of a sublime side of life, immaterial, striking and hardly known. People with mental disabilities are already immersed in a sort of parallel world.
People who know or intuit carriers of specific properties and looks capable of producing other spaces, visions and logical alternative defeats the promises of globalization. We plan to look where you are not going to find anything, not even the thought.
The project was awarded in December 2010 and has received the support of the Biennial Foundation of São Paulo in the second edition of BRASIL CONTEMPORARY ART PROGRAM, MINC - Ministry of Culture. He participated in the BIENNIALE SESSIONS of the 54th Venice Biennale, in October 2011 in a conference that involved not only the art world, but also universities and realities of Italian society. In 2012 the project received a GLOBO TRICOLORE award and has achieved visibility on major Italian newspapers, radio and television, and also in international events (Brazil and Germany).
