A sobrevivência do lugar: o cuidado como prática artística

Abstract

The present study has its origins in the research line Creation Processes and Poetics of the Everyday Life, in the context of Contemporary Visual Arts, in dialogue with Literature and Philosophy. The reflection starts from the developed master’s degree research, which has as its object the creation and construction experiences of my poetic work. It is oriented in the Art and Daily Life studies field, relating urban actions, purposeful projects and artistic publications, which are expressed through words and photography. It discusses about the acceleration and erasure strategies engendered by the contemporary world and analyzes the resistance devices developed in the Art’s field, as well as their implications on perception, time and presence. Finally, it proposes the care as an artistic practice and a resistance attitude in order to think about the survival of the place and its implications from actions and reflections that are directed towards the everyday life in the city, especially the perceptual interferences between subject and place.
