Everything we see and hear, besides the letters on paper, are texts. Writing is done through gestures, listening, speech, vision, and the body. It is an inscription – it delves into language and appropriates different sources, media, and supports. In contemporary times, the genres through which art moves are permeable – if not indistinguishable – and their meanings are often fluid.
The course presents artistic texts from different languages – visual arts, written texts and sound art – seeking to understand their procedures and the way they act performatively, exploring and expanding the possibility of meanings. At each meeting, a writing exercise is suggested – a provocation, a trigger. The intention is to open and expand the inventive possibilities of each participant. Thinking about performative writings means disinformation about the subject matter, and in this exercise, finding the style that is appropriate for what one wishes to produce. It is practicing other ways of reading the complex reality in which we live.
How does the course work?
The course is structured in five sessions, each lasting two hours. Each class combines the analysis of artistic texts, collective discussion and the completion of a practical exercise. Participants are encouraged to explore different forms of writing and to share their productions at the end of each session.
