Mariel Ciafardo — 2024-07-29

This paper analyzes the work «We once ate corn and fish» (2020), by the Colombian artist María Buenaventura. Interested in more than a decade in the relationship between art and edibles, this proposal addresses the problem of food sovereignty from a contemporary aesthetic, centered mainly on the poetics of materials.

The Producer as Author

Renata Defelice — 2024-09-30

From the multiplicity of materials that make up the Graciela Carnevale Archive, in this paper I address the texts in which the artist reflects on her archive and the life experiences that underlie the drive to collect these documents. For its analysis, I introduce, first, a delimitation of the figures of artists in relation to an expanded notion of the archive; secondly, I proceed to expose the potential and problems of considering the producers’ reflections on their personal archives; finally, I propose an approach to the texts based on their predominant tones.

Future Visions in the Era of Collapse

Malena Tanevitch Braziunas — 2024-12-13

This article explores how a set of contemporary artworks in Argentina addresses the socio-environmental collapse of the Anthropocene, offering alternative and future visions. It is organized into three axes: interspecies interaction, the loss of tree species, and the revaluation of ancestral practices. Based on Maristella Svampa’s ideas about the Anthropocene and collapse and Graciela Speranza’s reflections on art as a space of resonance, the text analyzes how these works contribute to building dialogues between species and revaluing ancestral knowledge in response to the environmental crisis.

Audio in Virtual Reality

Edgardo Daniel Fernández — 2025-03-17

In a scenario marked by significant advancements in immersive audio technologies and the proliferation of audiovisual productions for virtual reality, we observe that their integration into higher education curricula remains limited. Paradoxically, this includes learning environments in audiovisual arts, where current teaching methods have yet to develop alternatives for incorporating these tools. This essay addresses audio applied to virtual reality. It also explores the integration of these technologies to enhance didactic approaches in academic settings.

Form, threads, and plots

Maité Soledad Rodriguez — 2024-09-05

This writing recovers the interview with Cynthia Edul. In it, she reflects on her performative conference «El punto de costura» (2023-2024), carried out together with the musician, composer, and performer Guillermina Etkin, at the Galpón de Guevara and Arthaus. To get into this experience, the selection of questions aims to emphasize the common operations between textile art and performance, from the imprint as a trace of the body’s action. The textiles mediated by this action, the gesture and its process operate as fundamental artistic materials, involving the use of the body, which acts as the axis of a narrative discourse and the form of the work.

To Compose from The Limit

Antonela Copertari — 2025-02-17

This conversation with Argentine composer Marcos Franciosi formed part of the EVC-CIN 2022 grant pro ject, entitled Vínculos entre el movimiento corporal y los parámetros sonoros estructurales en la música de Marcos Franciosi. The objective of the dialogue was to gain in sight into his conception of the performer’s body and its impact on his compositional process. An in-depth exploration was conducted into his comprehensive un derstanding of the instrument-instrumentalist complex in his works Entrópica (2011), ...que colma tu aire y vuela... (2005) and Líneas y puntos sobre aguas oscuras (2008).
