Abstract

Skin as ink: the body between crease and gesture discusses the gesture as a purposeless means within the concept of the artistic process, given the relationship of artistic practice involving video and intervention experiments carried out during the author's Masters course in Contemporary Art in works such as Auto-retrato, Tarja,Peles institucionais e Onde fica o Galpão? Among the gestures discussed here is the deterritorializing gesture in which the educationall institution is evoked as a space whose borders are treated as a way of thinking about the artistic process as well as the institution as a concept.
