O texto versa inicialmente sobre campos, ou o que denomina protocampos da arte contemporânea em um recorte que observa as interações entre arte e tecnologia, arte sonora e performance, para propor questões sobre novos suportes de representação e reterritorialização nas artes, em relação aos conceitos de campos expandidos. Posteriormente discute a escrita sobre arte e a produção de conceitos no campo, para finalmente apresentar duas experiências práticas nas quais tentou-se aplicar ideias de hibridismo pela via dos processos e poéticas. / The text is initially about fields, or what it calls protocampos of contemporary art in a cut that observes the interactions between art and technology, sound art and performance, to propose questions about new supports of representation and reterritorialization in the arts, in relation to the concepts of expanded arts fields. Later he discusses writing about art and the production of concepts in the field, to finally present two practical experiences in which attempts were made to apply ideas of hybridity through processes and poetics.

Esta pesquisa envolveu a realização de um trabalho de arte o conjunto de vídeos intitulado Programa e, paralelamente, de uma reflexão teórica. A reflexão tomou o Programa como objeto, procurando compreendê-lo, mas ela também constituiu instrumento do Programa, conduzindo as formalizações. Ao dedicar-se à investigação da área de Poéticas visuais, às dificuldades da reflexão sistemática sobre uma obra em andamento e às especificidades da fala do artista sobre o próprio trabalho, enunciou, para o trabalho que então se iniciava, as condições do contexto em que ele iria se produzir. Descrevendo um procedimento geral reincidente nos meus trabalhos, a reflexão apontou-lhe um repertório de operações. Ela foi movimento interno do Programa nas considerações sobre o campo que ele elegeu como objeto: as propagandas de televisão, e sobre aqueles que surgiram de modo incidental, como o vídeo. Também o foi na discussão de cada um dos esquetes que foi esboçada antes da finalização do trabalho e orientou algumas últimas decisões. Depois do trabalho pronto, procurou-se rever e aprofundar os conceitos que vinham sendo utilizados, bem como submeter o Programa a uma apreciação mais distanciada. / This research involved the production of an art work the set of videos entitled Programa [Program] and, simultaneously, of a theoretic reflection. The reflection took the work as its object, trying to comprehend it, but it also constituted an instrument of this work, guiding its formalizations. The reflection was initially dedicated to the investigation of the postgraduate concentration area called Visual poetics, as well as to the difficulties of a systematized conceptual apprehension of an ongoing art work and to the specificities of the artists talks about his own work. In this manner it enunciated, for the work that was, then, getting started, the conditions of the context in which it would be produced. Describing a general procedure that was recurrent in the authors recent works, the reflection unveiled, to the new work, a repertoire of operations. The reflection was an internal movement of Programa while considering the field it had elected as its object: TV propaganda. This was also the case while considering those objects that appeared incidentally, such as the video. In the discussion of each one of the sketches discussion that was outlined before the videos were finished the reflection was also an internal movement as it oriented the last decisions. After the art work was finished, an attempt was made to review and deepen the concepts that had been used, as well as to submit Programa to a more distanced appreciation.

O trabalho tem, como tema, o estudo do sagrado na sociedade contemporânea, observando um importante fenômeno social: a retomada do sagrado. A produção artística do beneditino Carlos Eduardo Uchôa, inserida neste contexto, é considerada um exemplar, ao tangenciar este fenômeno. Para o procedimento desta pesquisa será empreendido um estudo do sagrado na sociedade atual, a partir de uma análise que estabelece as relações entre o sagrado e o profano. Desta forma, estes estudos apontam o surgimento de novos elementos simbólicos ritualísticos e míticos, provocando o desencadeamento de uma crise no sagrado. Por outro lado, as investigações comprovam, em diversos setores, a instauração de uma nova situação emblemática percebida através de um comportamento e de uma mentalidade vigentes no mundo contemporâneo. Uma pesquisa sobre a questão do espaço-tempo no aspecto da historicidade e no âmbito do Sagrado, igualmente serão perscrutados. Todos esses fatores serão observados à luz da produção artística do artista, respaldado em seu histórico de vida. Os aspectos socioculturais serão privilegiados, através de sua formação artística, acadêmica e literária até 1996 e após este período, quando ingressa para a vida monástica. Portanto, esta pesquisa será desenvolvida a partir da análise e reflexão sobre o ideário conceitual e imaginário do artista e monge beneditino Carlos Eduardo Uchôa, com a sua produção artística adensada por este contato com o mundo do sagrado refletido em sua poética. Este é o foco central da dissertação: estudar o sagrado na obra do artista que converge para a sua arte na sociedade atual. Contudo, através dos tempos, o sagrado se mantém vivo e atuante, resistindo e permanecendo até os dias atuais. / The work has, as in the subject, the study of the sacred in contemporary society, observing an important social phenomenon: the resumption of the sacred. Artistic production of Carlos Eduardo Benedictine Uchôa, inserted in this context, it is considered a copy, to lightly brush this phenomenon. For the procedure of this research will be undertaken a study of the sacred in current society, from an analysis that establishes the relationship between the sacred and the profane. In this way, these studies point to the emergence of new symbolic ritual and mythical elements, causing the triggering a crisis in the sacred. On the other hand, the investigations prove, in several sectors, the establishment of a new flagship situation perceived through a behavior and mindset prevailing in the contemporary world. A research on the issue of space and time in the aspect of historicity and under the Holy, will also be searched. All of these factors will be seen in the light of production artist, supported in its life history. Socio-cultural aspects will be privileged, through his artistic training, academic and literary until 1996 and after this period, when he enters to the monastic life. Therefore, this research will be developed from the analysis and reflection on the conceptual ideas and imagination of the artist and Benedictine monk Carlos Eduardo Uchôa, with their artistic production thickened for this contact with the sacred world reflected in his Poetics. This is the central focus of the dissertation: study the sacred work of the artist that converges to its art in current society. However, through the ages, the sacred remains alive and active, enduring and remaining until the present day.

Esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo a minha produção de pintura entre os anos de 2006 e 2008 e as relações que esta estabelece com as séries produzidas anteriormente durante minha permanência na Alemanha. O vínculo entre estes trabalhos dá-se principalmente através do uso da fotografia - da sua manipulação e posterior releitura através da pintura - que tem como tema as relações com o cotidiano tanto através da Internet como do contato direto com pessoas e coisas. A montagem destas pinturas no espaço é outro elemento importante dentro do processo de trabalho que enfatiza as relações com o espectador e com a lógica interna da própria pintura. / This paper has as a study purpose my painting production between the years of 2006 and 2008 and the relations that it established with the series previously produced, during my time in Germany.

The montage of these paintings in space is another important element within the work process, which emphasizes the relations with the audience and the internal logic of painting itself.

Le chamanisme, exprimé dans l’art contemporain des Premières Nations du Canada, opère comme un puissant marqueur ethnique. Il symbolise l’espace sacré où se joue la résistance culturelle, avec les engagements politiques qui la sous-tendent. Il représente aussi un référent identitaire. L’analyse de ce courant esthétique actuel soulève des questions essentielles : de quelle manière le chamanisme est-il abordé par les artistes, à la fois comme concept et comme pratique artistique ? Quelle est la mission de l’art d’inspiration chamanique contemporain, du point de vue de son rôle social, en tant que gardien de l’identité et de la spiritualité mais aussi comme catalyseur du processus de guérison collective et individuelle ? Dans le contexte artistique postmoderne, le chamanisme peut être considéré comme une source de pouvoir et d’inspiration, une terre sacrée que les artistes autochtones explorent avec détermination. En puisant dans les racines profondes de la tradition, et en s’engageant dans une expérience moderne, les artistes se donnent pour mission de raviver la sagesse des anciens et de se relier à la cosmogonie autochtone.Leur pratique a pour but de réduire le clivage psychique entre nostalgie des origines et indianité contemporaine. Ainsi, le statut d’hybridité donne naissance à une force de transformation d’une grande créativité. Cette thèse analyse les enjeux philosophiques et politiques auxquels l’art d’inspiration chamanique est confronté, en s’appuyant sur un point de vue anthropologique et esthétique. Après un rappel du contexte socio-historique canadien, nous abordons les deux missions essentielles des chamanes de l’art : la réécriture de l’histoire et la reconquête de leur identité, qui dessinent, à travers la reconnaissance de leur différence, l’architecture d’une nouvelle Amérindie. / Shamanism in contemporary native art in Canada is becoming one of the most relevant ethnic markers. It is the sacred place, the major source for cultural resistance, with strong roots and political implications underneath. It works as a powerful identity referent. As we analyse the aesthetic phenomenon from a modern perspective,different issues are emerging : how shamanism is acknowledged, both as a concept and as a practice by the First Nations artists ? Which social functions and philosophical involvements are assumed by the contemporary “shamanic art”, considering its symbolic part as the keeper of identity and spirituality, or/and performed or seen as a healing process ?In the postmodern artistic context, shamanism may be considered as an essential source of power and inspiration, a sacred land that most of the native artists are now exploring, defining therefore a new ontology. From the deep roots of the traditional knowledge, their legacy, and through their own contemporary experiment, these artists are trying to bring back the original wisdom in order to reconnect themselves with the native cosmogony and consequently, to reduce the psychic schism between traditionalism’s nostalgy and contemporary indianness (nativeness). Therefore the status of “betweenness”, that is specifically attributed to the native artists, is shifted into a power of creative transformation. This thesis analyses the process of shamanistic inspiration in contemporary native art, through the philosophical and political issues as well as with an anthropological and aesthetics point of view. The historical and sociological contexts are explored before defining th! e two main missions of the “Shamen of Art” : the rewrighting of the History and the Conquest of Identity, drawing through the recognition of their alterity, the architecture of a new “Amerindia”.

Through the analysis of Judy Baca's mural, The Great Wall of Los Angeles, Baca's reevaluates muralism to create her revisionist take on the Mexican tradition of muralism. The piece combines different cultural and historical perspectives that convey the diversity of California, and bring people together through shared experiences. In addition to portraying the histories of minority races, ethnicities, religions and sexuality, the piece was created by a diverse team of community members who each contributed their own viewpoints to the piece. Unlike the traditional practice of muralism, Baca works with community members to create a mural that includes a varied sense of identity so as to facilitate social change and foster community.

This body of work is composed of sculptural mixed media objects and scenes that heavily utilize cast glass. These pieces are physical representations of my quest to seek mental balance by focusing on what brings me happiness and comfort while still honoring mortality. Moldmaking and repetition of process innate within casting and other aspects of this work makes me focus and revisit an idea, repetitively, like a meditation or a prayer. The intense focus required helps combat my anxiety and translates anxious energy into more positive, productive, balanced way of living. Part of this balance requires the acknowledgment of the opposition. In this work, I confront some of these dualities by exploring my understanding and interpretation of life, death; beauty, grotesque; reality, fantasy; happiness, and depression. References to and use of ecology like the human form, animals, insects and flowers acknowledge the natural cycle of life. Peonies specifically symbolize my personal request for health and healing. Replicated items are used to honor the original object or memory and give figurative power to concepts I wish to emphasize. Some works resemble a memorial and become monuments to a memory or an emotion. When presented as a body of work, my intention is to create an experience and thus a memory for the viewer. A memory is more likely to be impactful and longer lasting when more than one sense is activated. With this in mind, a calming scent of peony is diffused throughout the area as the viewer navigates through the space and interprets anthropomorphic creatures, wilting flowers, and a vignette of metamorphosing butterflies. Viewer's memories are activated with my references, and a personal narrative manifests. It is my pleasure to share my experiences, understanding of life, and to create a new memory with them. Prevail: In the moment... is a story of resilience. It is a petition for balance, health, and healing. It is a remark of gratitude for the positive moments, and an honoring of mortality. It is the creation of a new memory and a manifestation of looking forward to the future.
