Workshop of research Artistic Production and contexts of creation

 

A Research Workshop on “Artistic production and creation contexts” was held in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán from October 1st to November 9th 2002. The activity was organized by artist Carlota Beltrame and coordinated by artist Aldo Ternavasio -from Tucumán- in collaboration with artist Sigurdur Gudmundsson -from Iceland- who had been invited by the Rijksakademie van beeldente kunsten, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

A jury composed of artists Ana Claudia García, Tulio de Sagastizábal and philosopher Jorge Lovisolo selected ten projects by Argentinean artists (8 from the Province of Tucumán: Gely González, Pablo Guiot, Natalia Lipovetzky, Damián Miroli, Fabián Ramos, Roxana Ramos, Karina Simón and the duo Charles Vuillermet-Ricardo Fatalini; and two by visitors from Buenos Aires and Córdoba: Amalia Pica and Lucas Di Pascuale, respectively. Michael Coombs (from England) and Erik Olofsen (from Holland) also participated in this event with their own projects.

The proposal made by the organizers in Tucumán aimed at a group discussion on the needs posed by this context and their incidence on artists’ creative process, both at conceptual and formal levels.
The participants carried out their work on a project for a month. They went through different stages: presentation of and debate on the hypothesis underlying the projects selected, development of the projects, conclusions and public discussion of the works.

Aldo Ternavasio led the debate throughout the first two stages and Sigurdur Gudmundsson joined him for the last stage.
Both artists, renowned locally and abroad, lectured on their work at the “Eugenio F. Virla” Cultural Centre, Tucumán National University.


This activity took place thanks to the support of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Development Cooperation through RAIN.

Trama is a partner in the RAIN Artists' Initiatives Network.
