This morning we had the honor of interviewing Massimiliano Fuksas at the chilean Biennale.
It was a great interview, along with others we conducted during this last month, that we are going to publish soon, so be ready.
After the interview, we continued talking down the hall with Mr Fuksas about the conception of his projects, and all of a sudden he asks “can i draw it?” and while i was looking for some paper, he just took out his pencil and started drawing on a column at the museum where the Biennale is being held. On the above picture you can see the relation between Fuksas’s mind and heart, on which according to his explanation the importance is on the space between them: the conflict. Something very interesting that i can’t explain here, but i hope that you can understand from the interview.
After that it came the funny part, as the museum staff noticed this “graffiti” and freaked out, since the Contemporary Art Museum is an ancient building. Some wanted to erase it, some wanted to frame it. But it’s still there, and will stay until the Biennale ends next weekend.
I understand the urgency to get an idea out, but to draw on someone else building IS graffiti. Very arrogant.
why is it an honour to interview Fuksas? I can see it might be an honour to interview Nelson Mandela, but…..Fuksas?
Why not write on the walls? I think there are a lot of great ideas that were lost because they weren’t handy to write down. Personally, I think the best ideas are written on arms, walls, napkins, etc. Also, what on earth is Sol Lewitt doing then?
Nice attitude Fuksas!
About the value of Graffiti:
1. if it creates more value than it destroys, I considere it ART
2. if it destroys more than it creates, I considere it VANDALISM
In this case: I think case No.1. But you be the judge.
he made ‘conflicts’ among us…!!
“Very arrogant”.
as usual…
30.000 children a day die of hunger. Nobody’s arrogant. A man draws on a column of a building (and oww,with a pencil!!!) and that’s arrogant. A waste of time, these idiotic conversations.
see what does that column say.
I look forward to the interview, but more importantly do you think they’ll carve out that section of the column and offer it up for sale on ebay? I’ll bid
perhaps fuksas asked the column what it wanted to be, and perhaps the column replied, “a sketchpad.”
he’s just arrogant: he sais nothing and does ugly and meaningless sketches(that’s the polite version), if you want to double check go and work “with” him (you really want to kill yourselves for noithing)… if you can’t do that, just trust me
Grande architetto Fuksas!!!
It was too much? Who dies he think he is? Le Corbusier? or maybe Picasso?

life is beautiful and world is wonderful
when you observe it from the camera of your iphone.
owww fuksas, ma chi sei tu? che scrivi sul murro. va fan culo a te
hey fuksus, go clean up the mess you made on the wall. i can expect that from a child, but a grown man?
wow, what type of person does this? very disrespectful for an italian!
I thing the guy has a big ego for sure, and it looks like also his great tallent went to be wasted in the big megalomaniac projects for capitalists, but i found this spontaneity of a spoiled child quite funny and positive, at least it shows that there still a courious young artist somewhere inside.
