About this exposition

This text is a reflection on Cajón desastre, an exhibition that collected around fifty drawings made between 2011 and 2020. This text, together with the exhibition, assembles an artistic research unfolded in time and developed in three layers: the making of the drawings and conceptual openings; 2) the gathering and conceptualization of the drawings under the exhibition project; 3) the text development and consequent assembly of this artistic research. In this research I intend to question the linearity associated with a positivist way of understanding the idea of project and artistic research, and I aimed to make visible subjectivities, knowledge and artistic products in process that are affected by the flexible and discontinuous work of the third spirit of capitalism. To this end, I embody a methodological positioning crossed by the post-qualitative perspective of artistic research, through which to activate, qualify and dignify artistic research “in transition”. In this way, in this text I inquire into the functionality of disorder in investigations that, like Cajón desastre, happens in an interrupted and evolving way. By doing so, I reterritorialize paradigmatic structures about art, research and its processes, approaching the idea of fragmentation as a basis on which to articulate, defend and legitimize other ways of researching and learning from art. Influenced by the thought of Deleuze and Guattari, this text is organized in a series of notes in the middle of a selection of the images that made up the exhibition Cajón desastre. The text is not about the images themselves, but about how they were produced and from what notions of artistic research. Text and images work as an assemblage in process composed of open approaches and multiple outputs, through which I also intend to give value to the knowledge that is generated in movement and when you get lost. In this text, I make room for reflections that were absent in the exhibition experience and add new knowledge two years after the closing of the exhibition.

Este texto es una reflexión sobre Cajón desastre, una exposición que recogió alrededor de cincuenta dibujos realizados entre el 2011 y el 2020. Este texto, junto a la exposición, ensamblan una investigación artística desplegada en el tiempo y desarrollada en tres partes. En esta investigación me propongo cuestionar la linealidad asociada a una manera positivista de entender la idea de proyecto y de investigación artística, y apuesto por visibilizar subjetividades, conocimientos y productos artísticos en proceso que se ven afectados por el trabajo flexible y discontinuo del tercer espíritu del capitalismo. Para ello, adopto un posicionamiento metodológico atravesado por la perspectiva post-cualitativa de la investigación artística, mediante el cual activar, cualificar y dignificar las investigaciones artísticas en tránsito. De esta forma, en este texto indago sobre la funcionalidad del desorden en investigaciones que, como Cajón desastre, ocurren de forma interrumpida y en devenir. Para ello, reterritorializo estructuras paradigmáticas sobre el arte, la investigación y sus procesos, aproximándome a la idea de la fragmentación como una base sobre la que articular, defender y legitimar otras maneras de investigar y aprender desde el arte. Influenciada por el pensamiento de Deleuze y Guattari, este texto se organiza en una serie de notas en medio de una selección de las imágenes que conformaron la exposición Cajón desastre. El texto no trata sobre las imágenes en sí, sino sobre cómo se produjeron y desde qué nociones de investigación artística. Texto e imágenes funcionan como un ensamblaje en proceso compuesto por aproximaciones abiertas y con salidas múltiples, a través de lo cual también me propongo dar valor al conocimiento que se genera en movimiento y en la pérdida de rumbo. En este texto, doy espacio a reflexiones que quedaron ausentes en la exposición, y añado nuevas miradas y reflexiones dos años después de la clausura de la muestra.
