Expanded art and practices of non-belonging with meanings that fold in the Cloak-Mount-Map

Abstract

This article is part of the investigation of contemporary artistic processes, focusing on the agile and dynamic practices that characterize contemporary aesthetics. The expansion of aesthetic explorations through various forms of expression, such as images, photographs, stories, memories, digital media, and documentary texts, is examined. The author reflects on his own artistic production and his participation in the Media Production of the Arts workshop at the National University of Art, as well as exploring the role of memory and tradition in contemporary art through the experience of working with cloaks tehuelches, a textile object built by women in Argentine Patagonia. The article builds on previous research and analyzes the perspectives of different scholars in relation to cartography, archiving, and materiality in art.
