Atmosfera rural: experiência e resiliência na arte contemporânea

Abstract

Trough many fruitful conversations and contacts with with people living in rural areas located between the municipalities of Pelotas and Canguçu (RS), specifcally in small properties of agroecological production, I conducted this research project as a master student at the PPGAV/CA/UFPel focusing on the personal premise and perception of an atmosphere which exists and which involves multiple aspects of these rural places (in the countryside), and which I call rural atmosphere. Based on the proposal of my artistic approach in approximation with ethnographic practice, I seek to investigate procedures capable of capturing and transmitting the social and physical elements that constitute this atmosphere, and this has provoked me to consider and refect on a plural, collaborative creative process and the contextual parameters of the contemporary art.
