- Editorial: v13n1Publication . Ribas, Daniel; Coutinho, Maria; Natálio, Carlos; Amorim, João PedroWelcome to the new edition of the Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts. In this new number, our first from our 13th year, fosters our editorial view of the journal: a thematic dossier – around sound art – that deepens the research on our focus-areas and CITAR’s Strategic Plan (2020-2023), as well as works on complimentary sections: the Audiovisual Essays and the Reviews (books, in this issue). JSTA maintains its devotion to research in the fields of artistic research, finding new paths and new ways of researching art. It follows also the strategic guidelines for indexation and metadata support.
- Residências artísticas como plataformas de investigação artística: poetry as an echological survivalPublication . Amorim, João Pedro; Teixeira, LuísSão vários os motivos que convergem numa residência artística, juntando artistas, instituições de acolhimento, mecenas, público e outros intervenientes. A residência funciona como uma plataforma de intercâmbio num contexto muito concreto, em que as suas condições materiais estão (mais ou menos) determinadas à partida. Apesar de uma residência artística estabelecer, nos bons exemplos, aquilo que nas relações ecológicas se define como mutualismo – uma relação em que todas as partes são beneficiadas –, o facto é que o artista assume uma posição central como agente da partilha. É a criação artística que estabelece a ligação entre os diferentes intervenientes. Nesse sentido, consideramos pertinente a análise crítica da residência artística, no sentido de mapear as interações que se estabelecem entre os diferentes intervenientes, com o enfoque na investigação artística. Durante outubro e dezembro de 2018 o artista sonoro Nuno da Luz esteve em residência artística na Escola das Artes (EA) da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, no Porto, resultando na exposição Poetry as an echological survival. A exposição teve a colaboração do Instituto Hidrográfico da Marinha Portuguesa (IH). Comparando a proposta inicial do artista com o resultado final foi possível identificar as características da residência que potenciam a descoberta de novos caminhos na prática artística. Para respondermos a esta premissa analisamos duas entrevistas (vídeo) do artista e do Comandante Pires Barroqueiro, do IH.
- Editorial: v13 n2Publication . Ribas, Daniel; Coutinho, Maria; Natálio, Carlos; Amorim, João PedroThis second issue of 2021 is especially devoted to Arts Education. With a thematic dossier, guest-edited by Catarina S. Martins and Pedro Alves, this edition brings to the front a very urgent and significant problem in education: how to teach art and how to develop and sustain art schools. In a rapidly changing world, these problems must address the digitization of our daily lives, as well as its mechanisms for (art) teaching. Moreover, being a side subject in the world of elementary schools and universities, it is even more important to study and research the ways that arts education can change education as a whole, allowing future citizens to be more aware of their worlds.
- Infection, participation and informality in Arts Education: the case of the School of Arts (Porto)Publication . Amorim, João Pedro; Crespo, Nuno; Teixeira, LuisArtistic education poses several specific challenges. The specificity of art in the contemporary age demands the development of unique strategies. Following a conceptual framework defined by Infection, Participation and Informality the School of Arts at Universidade Católica Portuguesa adopted since 2018 a strategy comprising a project-based methodology, informal tutoring sessions with artists, a Cultural Programme and an artistic residencies programme. This paper presents the early results of this strategy, and analyses how it could create a critical artistic practice of the students. Analysing in particular the Conference Programme Art & Ecology organized by the School of Arts proposes art as an important drive for the change of perspective and attitudes
- Julião Sarmento: the innuendo of the realPublication . Amorim, João PedroJulião Sarmento’s body of work crosses multiple artistic disciplines and fields. The artist resorts to film and video as a means to reach the artistic expression of an idea, open to an infinitude of interpretations. This audiovisual essay looks at the way Julião Sarmento works with moving images, focusing in three main perspectives: the word, the (feminine) body and rhythm. We conclude that each one of Sarmento’s works builds a system of codes, of communication, that opens new understandings of the human relation with the ‘real’.
- Art in the Digital during and after Covid: Aura and Apparatus of Online ExhibitionsPublication . Amorim, João Pedro; Teixeira, Luis Miguel LopesThe public health measures that were put in place to contain COVID-19 impacted the lives of people and institutions alike. For its global impact and transformation, the pandemic has the potential to be classified as a mega-event. Such radical events have become great opportunities to the testing of new technologies and forms of organisation, (Masi, 2016) that might in the future become prevalent. The impact of the pandemic was particularly felt in the contemporary art world, as the entire cultural activity was suspended. During this period, art institutions and collectives around the world reacted by adapting and providing alternative materials online. This paper aims at reflecting upon the challenges facing the exhibition of contemporary art online. Following Boris Groys’ (2016) actualisation of Walter Benjamin, we problematise how the digital reproduction of art affects the aura of an artwork. Proposing a critique of the apparatus of digital platforms, we analyse how the digital reproduces and enhances ideological structures that overpass the whole of society. For that purpose we analyse how four different organisations (an artist-run space, an art gallery, a museum and an art biennale) have migrated their activity to online platforms. The casestudies will allow a broad understanding of the different approaches available – with some radically taking advantage of the digital environment, and others merely digitising the role taken henceforth by printed catalogues.
