Encuentro_#e5_The local, the artists and the territory: Leticia González

Fifth open meeting of the Transfers project The arts, sciences and new forms of the local

16 April 2016

There is no doubt that art begins with the animal “with the animal that delimits a territory and makes a house.” This anthropological premise drawn up by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari inaugurates the IV meeting of the Transferencias project. To do this, Leticia González will guide us in a collective dialogue that attempts to continue unraveling one of the essential issues of current creative practice: the relationship between the ways of making art and the construction of multiple spatialities and territorialities. The main objective of the meeting is to critically address the transfers between three key concepts: the territory, the local and the artists. To do this, we invite reflection through an open debate that starts from the question:

What avenues of action do art, science and new technologies contribute to the ways of inhabiting and building new territories?

Guided by the observation of the indices that construct the territory and by how such marks become a matter of multiple and/or sensitive expression, we explore the Archive of Asturian Artists. From here we see how Asturian art has drawn heterogeneous lines that, from a local perspective, build very particular ways of understanding the common territory.

This meeting is part of the Transfers project. The arts, sciences and new forms of the local, a Laboratory of Philosophy in the context of the exhibition Raw material which raises the idea of ​​the plurality of arts and sciences and the need to generate collaborative processes of knowledge transfer to strengthen common knowledge.

The project, by the Econodos collective (Lorena Lozano and Verónica G. Ardura) is structured around six meetings with presentations, interviews and debates, inviting the community of creators to reflect on the social and political meaning of digital technologies and their ethical and aesthetic implications.
