Abstract

Modern Art has directed an aesthetic look to children’s life, appropriating their experimental processes.
The artistics avant-gardes camped in a pre-language territory, where all senses are preserved, ready to discover a world without names –the names cover the world; to dis-cover the word names must be set aside. Because where language exists, there is no room for art: In order to give preference to perception, art must be unlinked from that which is linguistic, from codified communication, from the established system in which one creates and one receives statements.
In art, perception is an end in itself. Art is the procedure that seeks a reflective perception: it can only emerge when the communicative act is blocked and obstructed, and the perceptive act is prolonged. Where can we find this state before language and from which art can emerge?
It is in the child who discovers a world full of nameless things. Modern art is a child who plays, and who proposes, who was previously sentenced to be a spectator, to participate in the game.
