The project is basically centered around the relational processes within art. The idea is that the work, although it acquires a certain materiality for its exhibition (in a gallery, museum, cultural center, etc.), has its fundamental development in the field of the processual. This type of approach to creative praxis enhances, in the first place, the sociological, anthropological, political and investigative functions of art. That is to say, the pieces acquire their ultimate physiognomy as the aesthetic completion of a phase of development (primary and basic) that precedes them. This creative moment, generally related to intangible and ephemeral actions in time, usually has its greatest incidence in the social and daily life sphere. However, in the case of this exercise, we have thought, in the case of this exercise, of pieces whose implementation or display is not only an act of registration. On the contrary, we are talking here about works that, although they are not autonomous in that they derive from a process connected to extra-artistic spaces, manage to contribute new complexities and nuances to that same process. The idea is that the works point towards other spaces and temporalities not contained in the exhibition object but that, at the same time, are capable of complementing discursively and aesthetically the relational experiences that give rise to them.
