La emergencia del dibujo en el arte contemporáneo. El caso del Club del dibujo.

Abstract

The present abstract aims at disentangling a phenomenon which I name “the rise of drawing in the contemporary art”. I choose the term” rise” to describe a process by which a minor discipline- originally confined to the intimacy of creative processes- sprouts up to the surface of contemporary artistic productions. I wonder what makes artists picture this ancient discipline when the context, contemporary arts, does not require a strict disciplinary adscription, but legitimates and promotes languages and media hybridity. At present I have decided to analyse the case of El club del Dibujo, taking into account its unusual being. There, diverse ativities and heterogeneous productions are articulated around a format that is external to the world of arts. I propose revising the case in dialogue with the analytic perspective that Reinaldo Laddaga develops in Estetica de la emergencia. The concepts developed there accont for the new dynamics between artists and audience, which allows us to understand the convergence between contemporary art, club and drawing.
