What would be the elements, materials and questioning involved in the elaboration of the brain itself in the form of an artistic object?
"Cérebro" (Brain) was created from this questioning. The work started the artistic action "Reverberações do corpo" (Body Reverberations), as an integral part of the doctoral thesis presented at UFRGS, in 2015. The research problematizes the centrality of the body in contemporaneity, especially in relation to the discourses about the brain, with emphasis on fragmentation and presentation of the body as a metaphor, creating an intersection between art and science. This work began as an unfolding of the action "Doações do corpo" (2009-2011).
The work presented as "my own Brain" should address issues involving my own relationship with the world and the other and, in this way, the relationship of my art with the public. Such object could only "exist" if it was constituted in this universe of relationships, going beyond its materiality and presenting a set of reflections generated from an artistic work, thus composing a reverberation.
The action provoked the meeting between the productions of participants from different areas of knowledge, who created a cultural artifact on the theme, according to their academic-professional perspectives. The guests received the drawing entitled "Carta-convite" (Invitation Letter), as a way of instigating them to create, representing the initial impulse - a source capable of generating a reflection. All the productions created make up an artistic work about the brain and bring up questions about the creative process, authorship and working in collaboration with professionals from different areas.
The work highlights the social construction of the brain - the brain in becoming - permanently constituted in the encounter of different perspectives, in which relationships with oneself and with others play a fundamental role. The reflections created in this encounter produce a reverberation in the intersection between art and science.
