The press release is in French. I ran it through Altavista Babelfish for crappy English:
EXPANSIONISME - MANIFESTE 4
Paris, 2004 – Caracas, 2007
After the II World war, the compass of the art of avant-garde pointed towards Uruguay and Argentina. After the contribution of Pettoruti to the abstract art, Arden Quin, Kosice, Lozza... create Madi in Buenos Aires, in 1946. And Madi is converted into one of the most important movements, and most active, with a great creative dynamism. Perceptisme (1947) and Expansionisme (1951) are the consequence of Madi. When in 1945 Arden Quin said that "architecture must be mobile", it went beyond Tatlin and from Constructivistes Russian. We are in the course of approach of a new design of architecture in space. Like important sphere of activity to support the development of the ideas of avant-garde, we think especially of the orbiting stations of type ISS (International Space Station) like that which was launched in 1998 and weighs 470 tons. It will be finished in 2010. We think that art cannot continue any more to be excluded from this mini-city in space. Art must always continue its expansion, just as the Universe, and accompany the man there. Expansionisme was centered on transformable work, and especially on the preparation of the theoretical bases of works of the future making profitable the magnetic fields and the gravitation like geometrical property of l`Univers, to be able to work with the curve of the space time and even with the vacuum which, according to astrophysicists', is full with energy. New painting, the new sculpture, new architecture will be also in external space. For the art of avant-garde the workshop will be a memory of the past. The Impressionists were right: it was necessary to leave the workshop. We think in the same way but of another scale: it is necessary to leave the Earth, which implies that our way will be very long and difficult. In the field of creation the computer will have an important role, but it will not substitute the creative act which it could even asphyxiate. What we outline it is a new humanism, which requires that we rely on the human being more and that we profit owing to the fact that our memory can record up to thousand billions of units of information. We must be optimistic if we compare the million bytes (unit of data processing) which has thecubic one of a computer, with the twenty millet million which the same volume of our brain contains. When we was in disagreement (and we it are always) with the "multiples" (Proclamation 2, 1967) it was because we had understood that work single and easy to handle is that which more wakes up the need and the desire to create at the spectator. Time does not stop. Far from fearing technology and science, we consider that they are an essential part of the human creativity. We must approach all that supports it.
