Abstract
El dibujo definido como una actividad práctica y de pensamiento produce valor simbólico desde el hacer por medio de la labor manual y la gestión material de sus elementos primarios, de la misma forma que los oficios realizados en la esfera social para transformar fuerza de trabajo en valor de cambio económico, realizados en apariencia de manera mecánica, repetitiva, e irreflexiva. Sin embargo, concebido acá como mecanismo de producción de sentido, resultado de la experiencia y el entendimiento de su labor, se convierte en un modelo de resistencia en contra de las condiciones de producción material.
La línea, asumida como elemento abstracto de la realidad, se presenta como una unidad estructural que articula estos conceptos y permite evidenciar la duración temporal de su ejecución, generando patrones gráficos tales como retículas, redes, tejidos y matrices.
En la parte práctica propongo la realización de una serie de dibujos de líneas continuas que se extienden de un lado al otro y de arriba abajo, multiplicando los límites de un soporte determinado, mediante la repetición exhaustiva de patrones lineales que se van adhiriendo uno tras otro, generando patrones que se modulan y superponen unos sobre otros para construir una suerte de palimpsesto visual a partir de la escritura sismográfica del cuerpo en el tiempo.
The means of drawing can be defined as a practice that produces symbolic value from making, through hand-labor and time-management of drawing’s primary sources. Similarly to occupations such as ones performed in the social sphere that transform labor force into economic trade value, apparently, performed mechanically, repetitively and unreflexively. However, conceived here as a device which produces meaning from the experience and the cultural understanding of its labor, turns to become a resistant model against the material production conditions of the. The Line understood here as an abstract element of reality is shown as a structure unit which articulates those mentioned concepts and allows to evince drawing temporal length of execution, generating graphic patterns such as grids, nets, weavings and matrices. On the practice side, I propose the realization of a drawing set of artworks of continuous lines that expands from one side to another, up and down, multiplying drawing’s support limits through the painstaking repetition of them and the movement along a support. These lines attach one after another, generating patterns that module and superimpose one above the other to build up a visual palimpsest from the seismographic writing of the body in time.
