The continuous construction of the collective. Reflections on a constant evolution from the common

Abstract

Si hay un hilo conductor que atraviesa este número es, definitivamente, la reflexión ensimismada –desde el centro de la producción artística– en torno a los procesos creativos y su dimensión colectiva. Es necesario aclarar, en este punto, a qué refiero cuando menciono ensimismada. Busco señalar, específicamente, aquellas reflexiones, conjeturas e hipótesis en torno a las praxis, que se debaten entre ellxs –o a sí mismos–, lxs propixs artistas. Hablo incluso de la producción novedosa de teorías y metodologías múltiples para el abordaje de aquellos procesos artístico-colectivos, con el riesgo que implica todo abordaje novedoso, el cual, seguramente, será observado detalladamente, puesto en debate, posiblemente criticado y a futuro, quizás, incorporado o reformulado.If there is a common thread running through this issue, it is definitely the self-absorbed reflection -from the center of artistic production- on creative processes and their collective dimension. It is necessary to clarify, at this point, what I mean when I say self-absorbed. I seek to point out, specifically, those reflections, conjectures and hypotheses about praxis, which are debated among them -or among themselves-, the artists themselves. I even speak of the novel production of theories and multiple methodologies for the approach of those artistic-collective processes, with the risk implied by any novel approach, which will surely be observed in detail, debated, possibly criticized and in the future, perhaps, incorporated or reformulated.
