Territory and object. Glances of the landscape upon fragments

Abstract

This research aims to conect artistic practices that dialogue about the incursion of the object into the natural environment. These artworks, which border the architectural sphere, perform connected interpretations between nature and the portions of space surrounding ordinary objects so as to build an image of the territory upon its fragments. Joseph Beuy’s installations, Robert Smithson’s proposals on the territory and the drawings of proceses in nature made by Gianfranco Baruchello share a view in which the notion of lanscape is seen through the relationship between the viewer and the objetcs and have the ability to synthesize an abstract and allegorical idea of landscape.
