La ciudad como matriz: la urbe como pretexto en la gráfica contemporánea

Abstract

The paradigm of the creator as unique, brilliant and isolated individual loses weight in society and communication networks, tipping the scales to the side of the collective, working groups and collaborative interaction of actors and institutions that constitute the artistic environment of the city. Internet has led to this step accelerates steeply, similar to how it did in its day printing with speed and multidirectional in the dissemination of knowledge and access to culture mode. Those heirs wit Gutenberg have been implemented with modern printing technologies increasingly present in our cities, which enable the construction of new objects and artistic discourses in which the concepts that form the conceptual basis or are very present creative strategy in the printmaking, such as repeatable matrix, the only multiple, finite / infinite serialization or transformation resulting from the repeti­tion. The purpose of this research study is to tackle and understand the city, without ignoring the periph­eral phenomena, as a meeting point for artists and encouraging employing printmaking techniques as a discursive way capable of generating new knowledge.
