Deconstructions: experimentation of art spaces around deconstruction

Abstract

Deconstructing, breaking down, also enables organizing potentials with regard to different modes of expression that move not only through forms of creation, but also through forms of existence and thought. Creative thinking is open to the search for a territory of its own and to the intersection of forms and experiences. In this way, Deconstructions is based on revealing moments of unpredictability in artistic, architectural, and even everyday contexts. The discovery of unprecedented dimensions in daily life represents, from this same perspective, an enrichment of the possibilities of human creative experience. Thus, Deconstructions presents signs of an apparent contradiction which, however, constitutes a valuable demonstration of coherent reflective attitudes toward a commitment to tradition, while simultaneously establishing a systematic devaluation of existing, regulated, accepted, and established values. In other words, art is recontextualized within life—in the everyday and in the essential—allowing it to recover its transgressive and consciousness-transforming character. This article presents possibilities for the creation of art spaces through deconstructive design processes and strategies.
