Eduardo Pla’s project for the tenth edition of OPEN, the International Exhibition of Sculpture and Installations, is inspired by a permanent sculpture, installed this January in the city of Punta del Este to mark the centenary of its foundation. The sculpture is made of parallel metal planes into which bursts a sphere that looms over the permanent imminence of the plane. The idea of the work that is to be installed at Lido reproposes this rupture of space, but in this case the material used and a few changes made to the surface of the sphere aim to represent the importance of transparency and luminosity that goes beyond the spherical concept. In choosing glass as the basic material and light as the support that represents the work, the implied idea is to redeem earthly poetry from its obscure contemporary status. Pla’s work is typically convoluted, in the mannerist sense of the term which, through the elegance of the image, presents the artist’s melancholy universe, always veined with the sense of increasing mental doubt and with existential attention. Pla’s open-air sculpture follows a thread of intentional lightness that aims to pass through feelings and establish the precariousness of a moving significance in the awareness of the spectator. While art traditionally disconcerts and frightens the beholder by altering present meanings, the art of Edoardo Pla tries to drive out such easy, apocalyptic ghosts, which produce only a shock to the emotions, and to open a door in knowledge.
