Between lands, water and fire. Artistic practices and contemporary social effects
Keywords:
Materialities, contemporaneity, ceramics, breakups, poeticsAbstract
This article approaches contemporary art practices linked to social issues which defy all presentcategories. The Mexican artist Teresa Margolles shows a country cornered by the narcos. Guatemalan Regina José Galindo exposes her body as a living scene. Alexandra Engelfriet together with other three artists does a performance in a clay quarry. Palestinian artist Jamal Dajani soaks clothes in clay and makes sculptures in actual size to build installations that will be eroded and ultimately demolished by the wind or the bombings. Ceramic and visual materialities in the hands of each artist are a breakup process and thus face violence, uncertainty, brutality, from a critical perspective that reach to symbolic universes and poetics.Downloads
