Cartografía y arte colombiano: Una aproximación narrativa a través de obras de algunos artistas colombianos

Abstract

Cartography has been a resource used in Colombian art. Maps are inserted in the author's works and in collective creations as the concept, content, intention and purpose of the artistic work. In this research we worked with the artists Lina Espinosa (1964), Adriana Ramírez (1974), Milena Bonilla (1975) and Luis Hernández Mellizo (1978). These artists have an important artistic career in relation to cartography. From their experiences, interests and ethical positions, their works are constituted from a cartographic perspective individually and collectively. Furthermore, these artists have works of collective creation that are the subject of analysis to understand the participation of communities in the plastic and visual arts. On the other hand, the curatorship is integrated into the investigative process by being a platform for dissemination and connection with the public. Recent curatorial narratives are concerned with the inclusion of audiences in the curatorial concept through exercises of creation, perception and contribution to the discussions that arise in the curated theme. Finally, creation joins the investigative process through the use of the curatorial script as a creative act to propose an imaginative exhibition exercise.
