Amontoado de destroços: reflexões sobre comunicação e arte contemporânea à partir da instalação Entre os olhos, o deserto, de Miguel Rio Branco

Abstract

This is a text that organizes the issues that I have been researching about the images and their bifurcations, starting from the immersion experience in the installation Between the eyes, the desert, the work of Miguel Rio Branco on display in the pavilion that bears the name of the artist at the Institute INHOTIM - Brumadinho / MG. At from the thought of authors such as Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, George Didi-Huberman, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Milton Santos, Stéphane Huchet, among others, propose thinking categories as: communication, contemporary, community. The guiding reflections of this research are: the tangency between communication and art; the definition of what constitutes contemporary category; the materiality of contemporary art images; problematizations about the experiences of looking at art installations as experiences of the body in space. Such issues arising from the immersive experiment of the work in question leads to the conclusion that the exhibition space is made possible by the construction of links that go beyond space, constituting an aesthetic encounters and relationships.
