EAAD – Evento online| 11h00
On October, 23rd the EAAD will host the actress Letícia Liesenfeld
Erdtmann, who will give a lecture entitled ‘Of the artistic gesture -
Inscription and Thickness’, which will discuss the modes of involvement and
immersion in artistic practices.
Specifically, it will seek to reflect on the
articulations that can emerge from the creative gesture and the way in which
the subject inscribes and rubs up against the world through art. It will also
look at how poetic and political contexts manifest themselves in connection
with the surroundings and with the spectators or participants in the works,
examining the interactions between artists, peers and the various contexts in which
the artistic act takes place.
The proposal is to investigate how choices in the
creative process anticipate and mould the inscription of the work in the world.
We will analyse the dynamics that overflow into the body of the works,
questioning whether this interaction creates a ‘thickness’ in artistic poetics.
To what extent does the artistic act, as a gesture that structures us and
projects us at the same time, carry this thickness? The pedagogical experiences
within the framework of the ‘Artistic Narration’ course at the ‘A Casa Tombada’
educational centre in São Paulo underpin the content of this Masterclass.
To enrich the discussion, we will consider
contributions from authors and artists such as Ailton Krenak, Denise Bernuzzi
de Sant'Anna, Leda Maria Martins, Oscar Muñoz, Rosana Paulino, Wim Wenders,
among others, whose works and thoughts stimulate a deeper understanding of the
connections and contagions present in artistic practices.
