Desenho e presença: o cão em lugares públicos

Abstract

The present research presents a cross language study, from the drawing to the installation from the artist 's approach to dogs in the condition of free transit in public spaces in the cities of Santa Maria and Santiago - Rio Grande do Sul. I consider the image of dogs as a theme of reference to propose to think the art from the near reality - the university campuses. The process of poetic research takes place in public places and in passing, and so I take as a foundation the theoretical basis that is based on Marc Augé, to reflect on the production and intervention in places of passage, bringing questions concerning the drawing that expands occupying public spaces. I propose to think of the visual representation of dogs to bring possibilities of drawing as a way of expanding and also integrating, through the transparency of the support to the exhibition spaces.
