Territorial References
Territorial References was part of a series of interventions in urban spaces, where we interacted with the sociocultural plots developed in specific sites of the city. We were interested in understanding space as a continuous flow of exchanges and intercessions where art could relate to reality and generate situations of debate in relation to the contextual criteria that in some way conditioned the cultural imaginary of the city.
Regardless of the aesthetic presuppositions that some artists pursued with these interventions, we were interested in constructing another way of representing the social both from aesthetics and from sociological practice where the works can be understood as social production, which comes from social praxis to the articulation of the communication and from there to its socialization, that is, we tried to reverse the aesthetic process by changing the relationships between the elements that constitute it.
