HATRY, Heide: A TRIBUTE TO ALDO TAMBELLIN (1930–2020) | This is a tribute to “the Primitive of a New Era,” “[probably] the most fervent establishment rejectionist that ever existed,” and “the idealist [who] wanted to work towards creating a new world.” As Dick Higgins wrote: “Part of the reason that Duchamp's objects are fascinating while Picasso’s voice is fading is that the Duchamp pieces are truly between media, between sculpture and something else, while a Picasso is readily classifiable as a painted ornament.” Your work will never fade, Aldo! In fact, it has only just begun to be truly visible. ►more

MAYA, Patricio: ALDO TAMBELLINI'S LATERNA MAGICA | My cell phone rang at midnight. It was Anna Salamone, telling me Aldo Tambellini was now ready to talk.
