Abstract

Dedicating oneself to art can constitute an act of resistance. The identity of the artist is inadequate (Dora García, 2011) because while other disciplines talk about things, art shows them (Badiola, 2015). Its field of action resides in the potential of its relations (Martínez, 2012) and, therefore, this structural hospitality (Moraza, 2016) enables knowledge to emerge as collective and multidimensional (Rogoff, 2018). Therefore, like education, art creates environments and conditions conducive for the other - spectator or student - to generate. From one holistic and non-logocentric vision of art, we will analyse two works which, from creative environments, present art as an act of learning and unlearning in itself. On the one hand, Swinguerra (2019, B. Wagner and B. De Burca). This project offers a counter-narrative of Brazil's social reality, addressing issues of class, race and gender. On the other hand, the project La levadura y el anfitrión (2017, Ph. Parreno) conceives the exhibition experience as a constant collective and individual reconstitution, offering a perspective beyond the usual ethical frameworks based on the exceptionalism of the human and its hierarchies.

Indaga en la capacidad generadora de nuevos imaginarios de la actividad artística, sus posibilidades efectivas de cambio en cada unx de los participantes implicados, considerando aquí tanto al entorno, la persona artista, como al enredo que todos ellos constituyen y que, a su vez, les constituye. Ha realizado exposiciones individuales y colectivas de ámbito estatal e internacional y su trabajo forma parte de importantes colecciones. Su actividad investigadora actual se centra sobre todo en la escritura y la activación de diferentes plataformas orientadas a generar contextos de reflexión y debate en torno al arte contemporáneo, en diálogo con distintos agentes vinculados a las prácticas artísticas, tanto desde el seno de la Academia como fuera de ella.
