If in front of one artwork the viewer is never passive and rather, completes senses and processes with his gaze; against some proposals of the contemporary art that participation becomes active and decisive.
This is the idea that has been carried forward since 2016 by the Secretary of Culture of San Isidro, in what he calls Central Processes. A space designed so that “new audiences understand the working method of contemporary artists,” he explains. Eleonora Jaureguiberry, Secretary of Culture and City. Very important creators, like Joaquin Fargas, Sebastian Gordin, Nushi Muntaabski and others were at the forefront of the experience, in which both schools and visitors of all ages usually participate.
Currently, the artist Ernesto Ballesteros He is in charge of the activity he baptized “The Sincere Line”. Ballesteros, creator of great trajectory, with participation in the main exhibitions in the world, has extensive experience in living processes and in experimental works as a whole. “The idea is to have fun, to discover that the lines are beautiful and doable by anyone and that you don’t have to know how to draw to draw. In drawing there are no good or bad, there are possibilities and desire or not to do it. more than listen What a pretty drawingI am interested in Wow, how much energy is put in there”, explains the artist.
In the room open to the public for the activity (Libertador 16.208, in front of the Cathedral), visitors find tables and walls ready to be intervened, colored pencils and specific slogans to be carried out in a group. For example, draw large circles. Or support only the tips of the pencils. Or make lines following a rhythm.
The process is playful and proposes to put the body in the act of drawing more than the critical sense, the one that judges the results in terms of “good” or “bad”.
It is worth coming to live the experience until August 31, alone, in a group or as a family, from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free and the address is Libertador 16.208, San Isidro.
