Abstract

I think that this task of summarizing a whole project in a page, both in the areas of creation, and in a life project can result in a clumsy effort on my part, many things remain to be said, as well as a lot of unnecessary rhetoric but I will try in these next lines to explain a little bit that I'm looking for with this humble project. To start I am interested in the theme of the grotesque, the comic of the absurd if you want, this theme has been theorized over the centuries, with many results, appreciations and opinions. Some, the most critical ones indicate that the artist who dedicates himself to dealing with these issues loses his time and is destined so that his work is only seen by his family and friends, since he does not comply with certain canons of the so-called "Contemporary Art" I may be wrong or talking about more but it does not matter, let's continue. As I said before, this topic has been theorized to the point of satiety and I do not want to fall into charrarias or common places, or repeat what has already been said, I try with my project to generate a creative experience based on my reflections on the grotesque and the mental condition ( or the classic experience of madness as the good-natured baldness of Foucault tells us). Among all this gleba of authors I chose the group of the chosen ones (like Harry Potter). Among these is the braggart of Mikhail Bakhtin (1875-1975) who tells us that the grotesque or the function of the grotesque is to free man from the forms of inhuman necessity on which conventional ideas are based. The grotesque demolishes this need and discovers its relative and limited character of man "he strives to express in his images evolution, growth, the constant imperfection of existence: his images contain the two poles of evolution, the sense of the oscillation of death and birth. " In other words, the grotesque is from the vision of Wolfgang Káyser (1964), what represents the deformed, the ugly, the ambiguous, the impossible, the absurd. It is above all "the disorderly and disproportionate, which manifests itself through the deformation and mutilation of the human body." Under this frame of reference, my interest is not to develop the aforementioned concepts but, rather, to use them as a starting point to generate an experience of creation in the field of art. Thanks Have a nice day!
