It s a big month for Italian writer and semiotician Umberto Eco. As his new book, ' The Vertigo of Lists', is released in 10 languages, he also takes on the honoured role of guest curator at the Louvre.
Eco 's book is about enumeration - lists without a system. Eco believes the world is saturated with infinite lists, found in everything from classic literature, to shop windows: " The window-display is a long, enticing list, designed to make us want to buy." Now Eco has taken on the curator 's role at the Louvre. "Museums also illustrate enumeration perfectly. Each museum is a huge row of separate pieces seemingly without order, except to the curator." But all these catalogues have been torn apart by the mass of information we call the internet. "It is the list to end all lists. It is an infinite collection of data. And it has one thing in common with all lists: total disorder. "

Desert island read? I’d take Homer over the phone book: I must have read Homer at least a hundred times, if I’ve read him once, and still find him endlessly fascinating...in Greek, of course.

the philosophy of lists
It's fucking bold to list Warhol amongst the great artist and creators. Warhol was bullshit.
Agreed.
I used to think a lot by myself about Warhol, the books on artists are never sincere and often misleading in my opinion. I arrived to the conclusion that Warhol's art is valid art. If you think what the most relevant artists have in common, is that they create a new language. For example Picasso tried to create a new one getting rid of the classicism reference, most of the art before him was in continuity or in opposition to the classic art, in both cases classicism was the referencing base. Picasso went to find a different sort of "classicism" which was the African art. In my opinion the great thing of Warhol is that he made a similar operation, which takes the commercial products as a sort of new classicism, so it was not in continuity nor in opposition to the hellenic classicism or other possible like the African art. That is creating a new visual vocabulary, and a different way of seeing things. That is why I think Warhol's art is not crap, but rather one of the most smart artists of the last century.
