According to the artist&#8217;s modus operandi, the production of the more relevant artworks on show has involved groups of people of different ages and from a wide range of cultural background \u2013 as, for example, some trainees from the Vorarlberger Kraftwerke AG power company. From this point of view, that seems rooted in the \u201crelational aestethics\u201d by Nicholas Bourriad, a parallel with the social and poetical approach to design by the <a href=\"http:\/\/campanas.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fernando and Humberto Campana<\/a> would be useful. Besides a certain affinity in the use of accumulation of objects \u2013 always remember the Ramachandran&#8217;s figural primitives \u2013 it seems that Tayou and the Campana&#8217;s are representing the same kind of sentimental glorification of the &#8220;labor&#8221; needed to produce a certain kind of \u201ccreative\u201d commodity. Thus a good way to make a step forward in explaining the shifty title of Tayou&#8217;s current solo show could be going back to Karl Marx&#8217;s \u201cThe Capital\u201d. And then,\u00a0is \u201cI love you!\u201d a sarcastic statement, as well as a sentimental one? We think so, also thanks to the brief interview we had with Pascale Martine Tayou a few months ago:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which is your favorite subject?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Human Being.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe in abstraction?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Sometimes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which is the most inspiring place for you?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>The earth.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which is the quality that you prefer in an art dealer?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Loyalty and Friendship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which one in a collector?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Creativity.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Who is your favorite artist?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Human Being.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is there any color or shape that you really hate?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Not Really.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What makes an idea become an artwork?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Idea himself.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which novel is better comparable to your idea of art?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Under construction.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Which song or kind of music?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Birds sounds.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What would you have done if you were not an artist?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>I am not an Artist!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Born 1966 in Nikongsamba, Cameroon, Pascal Martin Tayou \u2013 the feminine \u201ce\u201d at the end of the name has been added later by the artist \u2013 has currently a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1610,1611,1609],"class_list":["post-4653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-senza-categoria","tag-fernando-campana","tag-humberto-campana","tag-pascale-martyne-tayou"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
