Argila, corpo, encontro: processos de arte para outreidade

Abstract

This work is an approach of certain artistic procedures that involve the body from the sixties up to the present time, having as a beacon the articulation between the concepts of body, embodiment, art, education and otherness. Starts from a dialogical proposition for the fundamental concepts of phenomenological thought applied to art. In order to do so, it seeks an update of the artistic project of the artist Lygia Clark, admitting that its propositions bring fundamental elements of the procedures that the present art shows. Specific characteristics of his propositions are pointed out that are still present today and which are precisely because they have been a profound boundary in the national art course. This update, which allows us to point to the works of Lygia and bring them to the discussion by a more conciliatory and less exclusionary thought, was constructed with authors from the areas of philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychoanalysis, criticism and art history, besides of her own thoughts. To articulate the concepts mentioned, different moments of Brazilian art are approached through the analysis of the poetic procedures and teaching methodologies of the artists Celeida Tostes and Rosana Bortolin, as well as Lygia Clark
