Economía de lo mismo

Abstract

Economy of the same is a project of creation, starting from the reflection on the original copy-relationship, within the field of art. It establishes questions and coincidences between the repetitive exercise of the behaviorist method (Planas de texto), Sol Lewit's sentences on conceptual art and images of art and education. This project seeks to alter and freely reproduce sentences and iconographies of art and education, revising traditions adopted as a norm in Colombian culture, through a qualitative analysis of school textbooks of children's education and phrases found as educational values. The behavioral method, a means of teaching and learning, adoption and norm in the country, is converted by means of artistic creativity into a model of cultural appropriation, contributing to blur the possible boundary between art and politics, art and education, history and Reality, copy-original. The project starts from a vital experience in childhood, thanks to the encounter with office materials (carbon paper, stamps, pens, pencils, etc.) forming, from an early age, an aesthetic sensibility that later, in university education, Copy exercises raised in the two-dimensional area of ​​the university. From the reflections projected by an exercise of image copying and pictorial schools, we begin to question the way in which educational programs in Colombia adopt foreign models of learning, and how they are part of our culture since childhood education, establishing a prototype of Individual and society.
