Research Project
ARTIST-RESEARCHER: CROSSROADS BETWEEN TEXT AND IMAGE
The objective of this research is to investigate, foment and problematize the performance of the artist as researcher within the panorama of Brazilian art since the 1970s. The interest here lies in the theoretical-practical construction, as well as writings by artists, art criticism, and proposals for exhibition and curatorship, which have as ethical responsibility the production of a constellated set of critical reflections and which opt to find operationalization models different from those already established by a traditional discourse. Thus, its central character lies in experimentation from multiple perspectives, aesthetic inventions, graphic audacities, and visual problematizations. Without abdicating from verticality as structure and having as orienting axis the production of the artist in its diverse variations, the research creates, formulates and inventories new theoretical-practical relations in order to tighten them within and without the academy. This investigation involves various projects and is financed by FAPERJ and the Prociência/FAPERJ-UERJ Program.
