Joseph Pace (born 18 November 1959) is an Italian painter, sculptor and philosopher.
Early life and education
Joseph Pace was born in Morbegno (Lombardy) and raised in Congo-Kinshasa (Africa),[1][2] where his father Aurelio Pace,[3] an historian of Africa, was working for UNESCO with the French literate Jacques Garelli. Grandson of the Protestant pastor Camillo Pace,[4][5] Pace was first introduced to painting and sculpture by his mother Franchina Cardile[6] and by his uncle Antonio Cardile,[7] an artist of the Roman School of Painting. He has also followed legal, literary, social and psychoanalitical studies at the University of Paris La Sorbonne,[8] at the Sapienza University of Rome[9] and at the Roma Tre University.[10]
Work
In the 1980s Pace worked in Rome and Paris where, in the mid-1980s, he founded "Le Filtranisme"[11] an neo-existencialist philosophical and artistic current[12][13] witch has an optic close to Renaissance and a clear anthropocosmic vision.[14] As was for the existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, the filtranisme also expressed more through the works of Pace than through a veritable theoretical apparatus.[15]
Inspired by sources as diverse as fashion, history, philosophy, electronic music and decorative arts,[16][17] Pace uses different techniques (such as painting, assemblage, sculpture, electronic engravings, photography)[18][19] influenced by the iconography of mass society, philosophy and psychoanalysis.[20][21]
Also assembling objects such as antique costume jewellery ("MIDAS" series)[22][23] or recycled materials such as wood, metals or frosted glass of refrigerators shelves,[24] the artist mainly uses monochrome colors and polichromes that become arabesque paintings. “Over these surfaces, in a mixture of bright colors that evoke the smell of fresh varnish, Pace lays strokes of pure color” [25][26] that characterize many of his works.
In July 1987, Pace wrote the first manifesto Filtraniste. The same year he befriended the Brazilian multimedia artist Sergio Valle Duarte[27] and, as a result of their common African experience, the Belgian writer Albert Russo.[28][29]
In February 1988, he organized at the Hulot Galerie in Paris "Paysages Filtranistes ", an exhibition of painting and poetry summarizing the status quo of the abstracts dogmatisms.
During the summer of 1990 meaningful is the encounter between the American sociologist of knowledge and family friend Kurt Heinrich Wolff [30][31] about the epistemological “surrender-and-catch” concepts[32] that changed the Pace artistic work from figurative painting to the abstract expressionism becoming, a few years later, the highest exponent of the "informalismo fistranista".[33][34][35][36]
A few months before, in January 1990, at his home in Rome he signed the declaration of the enlarged filtranistes group.[37]
From 1996 to 2008, he was assistant professor[38][39] of Sociology of knowledge and Art and History of sociology at the Sapienza University of Rome.[40]
The erudite work of Joseph Pace gives an artistic and intellectual pathway[41] with which the artist reinterprets many psychic realities.[42][43]
After the figurative period (1977–1990), the abstract period (1990-) is first characterized by the "Periodo dei Legni" (Woods’s period 1990-1996) and the "Factor C" studies (1997) and subsequently by the still in progress series, "IDM" (Unshakableness of the Memory, 2000-)[44][45] and "ATONS"[46][47] (dedicated to the techno and electronic music, 2005-).
With a partial return to figurative, Pace is also working on "ENGRAVING" (printmakings elaborate with computer)[48][49] and "MIDAS", the large sculptures/assemblages of antique jewellery.[50]
Exhibitions (selection)
Since a 1988 "Paysages Filtranistes Installations" at the Hulot Gallery in Paris, Pace’s work has been widely exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions.
His museum solo shows includes the retrospectives at the Museum of Art of the Parliament of São Paulo (2010),[51][52][53] CRC in São Paulo (2010),[54][55] Theatro Municipal (Jaguariúna) (2011),[56][57][58] Forte Sangallo in Nettuno (2011).[59][60]
In 2014, the Museum Boncompagni Ludovisi, National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rome, housed his solo exhibition Joseph Pace, L'Eva Futura (The Future Eve).[61] The Future Eve is a jewels sculpture of the MIDAS series, which gives the name to the exhibition. The work is inspired by the homonym novel, The Future Eve, by the French symbolist writer Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam.[62]
The artist enjoyed a 2015 retrospective at the Museum Venanzo Crocetti in Rome entitled Joseph Pace (Filtranisme).[63] The exhibition included numerous works from public collections, along with recent paintings and sculptures by the artist.
His museum group exhibitions includes, the Diocesan Museum of Amalfi,[64] Forte Sangallo in Nettuno (2012)[65] (2012), the Italian Embassy in Brasilia,[66][67][68] the Museo Venanzo Crocetti[69] (2014).
For the Museum Afro Brasil, in occasion of the 2014 Brazil Football World Cup, Pace has created a jewellery sculpture (MIDAS series), portraying a large jewels soccer ball. The work, entitled “Mundial Brasileiro”, has been presented for the “O negro no Futebol Brasileiro - A arte, os artistas” exhibition.[70]
He also appeared at the 1992 Universal Exposition of Seville, International Film Festival of Ostia[71] (2009), Paradiso sul mare[72][73] (2010).
