Repetitions, twists and various attempts to tie things on paper

Abstract

This text was generated from our participation in “Relación IV/ Sistemas, yuxtaposiciones obras”, a training seminar that took place in September 2017, which proposed to explore the notion of documentation in performance from the role of guided viewers. The four meetings were organized around the coexistence of two trajectories associated in a differentiated way to the methodology of "systems": that of the Efimerodramas team and that of Martín Molinaro.

This activity was organized by the research and creation team that integrates the project “Escritura performática: cuerpo y acción en efimerodramas”, based on the Center for Production and Research in Arts (CePIA), belonging to the Faculty of Arts of the National University of Córdoba. The members use the Repetitive Minimalist Systems as a basis for their work and investigate the relationship between writing and action art, pondering from within artistic practice and in connection with the ideas of abstraction, repetition, recording and archiving.
