It’s like watching the sea that strikes you whisks you away enchants you and scare you. She was born there, on the sea, at Split in Croatia, and remained inside. On the first floor of Spazio Via Dante 14 in Milan this sea meets paper in a scenographic soul, and leaves you speechless. The soul is that of Jagoda Buić, the croatian-born artist of international fame but little, alas, known in Italy, with an artistic journey to shame by Kounellis: american professorships, Venice biennials and personal exhibitions in middle West.
Carta Canta is the Italian exhibition of recent works by the artist, who’s 84 years old and a modernity enviable to Warhol, in which waves of wrapping paper cling to geometric effects. The modernity that she characterizes never ceases to amaze. The link with scenographic is evident in this artist who start and remains tied to the theatrical reality: the other half of the soul of Jagoda Buić belongs in fact to the stage, which has always worked for weaving tapestries and costumes for the sets. Huge, in appeal, are tapestries woven with four, six, ten hands with the women of her land, that weave the sea waves. That there never understood the love affair with the sea, why don’t you go back, Jagoda knows.
