A Remembrance of Helen and Newton Harrison

May the souls of Helen and Newton Harrison rest in peace. The seeds planted by them in the endless fields of Art and Nature will surely grow and enlighten the path of future generations of artists and human beings. More than fifteen years have passed since the Groundworks project, so my memory of the meeting is starting to be not fully reliable, but I remember Helen and Newton as decent and humble people, full of presence and refined human quality. I am sure about that. Anyway the cure problematic of their work puts us in the position of asking ourselves the right question, and of recognizing the powerful intelligence of Nature which has been intriguingly dealing with Time, Space and Aesthetics in a very balanced way since the so-called “Big Bang”. From our region of the world, one could track the traces of this honorable interaction between mankind and Nature since  “La Charte du Mandé” of the Mandiga Empire around 1235. We belong to Nature; that’s something that capitalism has been tragically trying hard to make us forget.
