@ Lara Why not (your text). I presume you consider the subject ("it" is at that point...) to be X's experimentalism or 'zest for experimentation in art' or something of the sort. That's how I'd put it anyhow. Although I don't mean to provide a beautiful translation so much as quickly decipher the text. You may find more elegant and less convoluted wording.

FPC Oct 19, 2022:

@ Emmanuella yes, reading again, yes "that may belong to / come from ..."

Emmanuella Oct 19, 2022:

Just as it happens or that may refer to ...?

FPC Oct 19, 2022:

@Lara It may mean that there are what sometimes are called 'contaminations', an art form (the artist if you prefer) will borrow practices and the esthetics from another art from, or even to a different field. I think of Picasso or Cocteau designing and making pottery or Duchamp using industrial objects, Burri using a torch on plastics, for instance, or influences by performing arts in happenings or performances of conceptual artists. That's what I make out at least. Some authors of critique tend be less than crystal clear.

SLIGHT CORRECTION to my previous comment: I believe the subject here is the "soluzioni tecniche e formali", the reference to applied arts being just an example of what he's going to say, so the sentence should read like this:

"XXX's formal and technical solutions/devices (or any better term), just as it happens in applied arts, enable the artist to access, gain *knowledge and expertise in different areas/domains of the artistic experience* which in an open and mutual exchange need to influence and enrich one another, while still retaining their independence and without cancelling he respective (cultural) differences, etc..."

...knowledge in different areas /filelds whose artists should interact ...?

Lara Barnett (asker) Oct 19, 2022:

@ FPC Based on your ideas, I have structure this:
"It is at this point where knowledge and expertise, from diverse areas, can be accessed through comprehensive and free cultural interaction, as can be seen in the experience of great artists from the past, from Dalì to Cocteau, and from Warhol to all the conceptual art of the sixties, not to forget Marcel Duchamp of course."

@ Emmanuella I know, bu art does not speak/communicate in England. It is the artists that do that here.

Emmanuella Oct 19, 2022:

Arti applicate = Applied Arts, not artists.

Lara Barnett (asker) Oct 19, 2022:

Exchange Exchange is a very general word here. Do they mean that the artists within these areas would share skills and knowledge? In English "conversation between areas" makes no sense.

Emmanuella Oct 19, 2022:

Open and mutual exchange between different areas/ domains, IMO.

tradu-grace Oct 19, 2022:

@FPC I do agree with your explanation.

FPC Oct 19, 2022:

Off the top of my head It seems to mean that the so-called applied arts, crafts, enable the artist to access, gain *knowledge and expertise in different areas/domains of the artistic experience* which in an open and mutual exchange need to influence and enrich one another, while still retaining their independence and without cancelling the respective (cultural) differences. By way of example, see the work of Duchamp, or conceptual artists. More or less. You may need to work on it to make it a better translation.
