mo(nu)ment @Arci, Reggio Emilia, 3—5 Maggio 2013

mo(nu)ment

Luca Massaro (photographs), Francesco Tacchini (glitch).

La mostra aprirà dal 3 al 5 Maggio nella sede ARCI di Reggio Emilia,

in occasione del Festival della Fotografia Europea.

Momento decisivo o monumento atemporale? La continua esposizione
all’immagine cambia la nostra percezione della realtà e del medium fotografico.
In un mondo-panopticon, lo sguardo rischia un’anestesia della percezione.
Nell’era di Instagram è ancora possibile fotografare la Tour Eiffel?
mo(nu)ment rappresenta uno o multipli  “nu moment” dell’immagine fotografica,
una percezione che si rinnova grazie alla fotografia stessa, monumento
unico, nel momento d’errore (glitch) dell’immagine digitalizzata.

On War Pattern: The Boneyard, Tucson, Arizona, Usa.

AMARC, or the Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Center, is a joint service facility managed by the US Air Force Material Command located in the town of Tucson, Arizona, USA.

Often referred to as 'The Boneyard', AMARC is an aerospace storage and maintenance facility adjoining Davis-Monthan Air Force Base which provides a service to all branches of the US military (Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Army), as well as other national agencies.

Currently controlling over 4,200 aircraft as well as many other types of military equipment, AMARC works very hard in promoting itself as not just a 'Boneyard' and takes every opportunity in explaining how it operates it's cost effective, tax saving operations. Many of the stored aircraft can be returned to an operational status in a short period of time and there is a continual process of anti-corrosion and re-preservation work which keeps the aircraft in a stable condition during their stay.

The reason the Boneyard reference exists is due to other work that AMARC carries out, that of reclamation of spare parts and the eventual disposal of spent airframes. The Center can be divided into 2 distinct areas, the RIT (Reclamation Insurance Type) area located to the east side of Kolb Road is littered with aircraft in various states of completeness. The junkyard appearance belies the fact that these aircraft are controlled by a process of careful part reclamation, both to a schedule and to ad-hoc requests. On careful examination many of these aircraft can be seen re-sealed to protect the remaining components from the dirt and heat.

There are many times that aircraft from the RIT area leave AMARC to become instructional aircraft, targets on Army or Air Force ranges, museum exhibits or display pieces, although most end up being smelted down into ingots by nearby metal processors.

AMARC has also been heavily involved in the elimination of B-52 Stratofortresses under the Strategic ffArms Reduction Treaty (START). (Click here to see more on this aspect of this work) and were also responsible for the eliminiation of 445 Ground Launch Cruise Missiles (GLCM) and their launchers under the INF Treaty.

Square Michel Foucault by Matthew Marco @ Flickr

Square Michel Foucault.

So this may only be a small square near Avenue Saint-Jacques, but it is further evidence that Paris knows well enough to honor philosophers, artists, and playwrights in the naming of its infrastructure. I wonder if the United States would be a more progressive country if on par with Benjamin Franklin and Martin Luther King, Jr. were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Allen Ginsburg, Jackson Pollock, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, and so forth, crossing major American cities as boulevards and enlivening them as parks and plazas.
