They travel and allow themselves to be moved by the territory they visit, requiring stimuli and searching for merchandising<\/em> to take home once the (co)existence is over. As opposed to common tourists, who are eager to obtain a fridge magnet or postcard of the typical monument, artists attempt to conceive their own merchandising<\/em>, which is simply the artwork dreamt up during their stay, seen through the prism of the object<\/em> (placed in italics).<\/p>\n

The object is representative of a space, that which defines it; but at the same time it is the justification for having travelled (and experienced) a new territory. And finally the artwork ends up concentrating the idiosyncrasy of the place.<\/p>\n

As Estrella de Diego stated, \u201cIt is clear that scheduled trips are intimately linked to the power structure of dominant society: the system tells us how we should travel, what we should feel and what faces to pull when we are feeling what we are feeling.\u201d (Rincones de postales.<\/em> Ediciones C\u00e1tedra). But artists escape from this equation, they dictate to themselves how to travel, what to feel and what face to pull. Artists have the power to compose a different vision or to reaffirm that which has been established; they are capable of seizing the territory, of bringing about change or recording or documenting a series of incidents generated in space. \u201cFreedom can go as far as the artist\u2019s intuition reaches,\u201d<\/em> said Kandinsky (De lo espiritual en el arte. Ed. Paid\u00f3s).<\/em> Even though they start off with the same stimuli, pre-established before setting off on the journey and whose objective is the creation of the object <\/em>(once again in italics), we cannot characterise them as typical tourists; they have freedom and intuition. And the new territory to be explored becomes the laboratory where intuition is found.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_id=”ima-comiss” el_class=”imatges-comissarials”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2652″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2653″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column el_class=”fotos-content” offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-12″]

  • Whether consciously or not, the artist setting off on a journey to enjoy an art residency is closely associated with the figure of the tourist.<\/em> They share the need to seize the territory and search for links which allow them to justify (personally or socially) that they have had a series of life experiences beyond their habitual surroundings. That is when the concept of object or merchandising <\/em>appears.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
