Description
- Abstract:
- This essay is part of the result of a doctoral research, which aims the artistic literary production of the Brazilian artist and writer Nuno Ramos. In this text, the hypothesis is that there are two antagonistic procedures in Nuno's production: in his artistic work, there is a tendency for the conformation of the unformed matter and, in his literary production, the predominant one is the deformation of the conforming matter, the verbal sign. Finally, I conclude that the two procedures are part of one and the same project, which consists of a heroic effort by the artist to bring out the materiality of objects in the ruins of their meanings.
- Este ensaio é parte do resultado de pesquisa de doutoramento, e tem por tema a produção plástico-literária do artista e escritor brasileiro Nuno Ramos. Neste texto, é desenvolvida a hipótese de que há dois procedimentos antagônicos na produção de Nuno, sendo, na produção plástica, uma tendência à conformação da matéria informe e, na produção literária, a deformação da matéria conforme, o signo verbal. Concluo que os dois procedimentos fazem parte de um esforço heroico do artista em fazer emergir a materialidade dos objetos nas ruínas de seus significados.
