Talk:Luigi Serafini (artist)

Good things from the it edition:

Luigi Serafini è (formalmente) un architetto, sebbene il suo più noto e ricercatissimo lavoro sia il "Codex Seraphinianus", edito in due volumi da Franco Maria Ricci nel lontano 1983 ed ormai introvabile nella sua versione originale. Ne sono state pubblicate edizioni in francese, spagnolo e, in un solo volume un po' sacrificato, in inglese (per il mercato USA). E' vivo e vegeto, simpaticissimo e si può trovare una sua intervista / dialogo sul sito di Radio Tre scaricabile all'indirizzo:  e un'altra stralunata, divertente, ma non banale intervista sul sito:  Più recentemente ha illustrato Pulcinellopedia Piccola, scritto da tale P. Cetrulo. Ma attenzione: è uno scherzo dell'ineffabile Serafini. Questo link, in inglese, spiega un po' le cose: 

Nel luglio 2008 viene realizzata l'installazione frontaliera in legno policromo "Balançoires sans Frontières" (Altalene senza Frontiere) a Castasegna, lungo il confine italo-elvetico, dopo Chiavenna e sulla strada per St. Moritz. La struttura permette di dondolasi tra le due Nazioni confinati e recentemente è stata acquisita dal Comune svizzero.

This page claims that Serafini has never said whether or not the language/text has meaning. No citation is given. In the Wikipedia entry on Codex Seraphinianus, it says explicitly that In a talk at the Oxford University Society of Bibliophiles held on 11 May 2009, Serafini stated that there is no meaning hidden behind the script of the Codex, which is asemic; that his own experience in writing it was closely similar to automatic writing; and that what he wanted his alphabet to convey to the reader is the sensation that children feel in front of books they cannot yet understand, although they see that their writing does make sense for grown-ups. A citation is given there. I don't know enough about the issue to feel qualified making a change, but someone should.Margavriel (talk) 03:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
