"Contemporary
art tends more and more to rediscover the importance of discovery,
of the experimentation of new materials and techniques borrowed from
daily life. The artist becomes the one who reveals to all the possibility
of new combinations of things. Cultural anthropology calls it bricolage,
that is, a magic and playful use of objects which, displaced from the
world of their usual functions, are shifted into new and fantastical
uses. From the games children play the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde
movements have relearned the ability to take apart the grown-up world
and rework it in a personal and highly imaginative style. The method
lies in thinking up alternative rules to the game, rules that fall outside
of the repressive logic of reason and reasonableness."
