Del trazo a la deriva: Coreo(grafías) críticas del espacio urbano

Abstract

This work approaches drawing as a performative and intermedial practice which, moving beyond the representational paradigm, raises pertinent questions about the visible as a threshold where aesthetics and politics intersect. Although drawing has traditionally been regarded as an essentially manual discipline, with the hand understood as the skilful agent of an intentionality, new directions in the thinking and practice of drawing are emerging, in which the interrelationships established between the hand and the body —as sensitive, analytical and critical interfaces with contemporary visual culture— are driving artistic and interdisciplinary research into drawing and dance towards a questioning of movement and performative intervention in urban and civic space.
