Tania Bruguera y el arte útil

Una de las mejores maneras de acercarse al trabajo de un/una artista es a través de sus propias declaraciones. Esperando el inicio del taller “Arte Útil” que Tania Bruguera va a realizar del 8 al 10 de enero de 2014 en Barcelona, es un buen momento para hacer un recorrido por la trayectoria de esta artista cubana afincada en Estados Unidos. Hacemos este repaso a través de un completo reportaje realizado por el programa Metrópolis de TVE. En él, se analizan aspectos como las etiquetas que como artista ha ido recibiendo a lo largo del tiempo y que han enfatizado uno u otro aspecto de su trabajo (de artista multicultural, a feminista, política o artista de la performance).

La importancia de crear, por encima del medio utilizado o el lugar y, sobretodo, la necesidad de llevar el arte al terreno de lo real, como ella misma explica, “a hacer algo que pueda servir a la sociedad” son premisas que desde sus inicios han configurado el corpus de su trabajo.

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
