Interview with Melanie Smith – Padiglione Messico – 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia
Red Square Impossible Pink is a sort of affective archaeology of modernity that allows us to understand the geo-aesthetics of modernity in contemporary societies from another perspective.
To Malevich’s Red Square, as a Suprematist formalization of utopia, Melanie Smith opposes the impossible pink as the unformed place of an historical realization of the projects of modernity. Red Square Impossible Pink spatializes a dialectical image that expresses the opposition between the possible and the impossible.
