Las cartas intercambiadas por Lygia Clark y H\u00e9lio Oiticica entre 1964 y 1974 trazan un retrato c\u00e1lido de la amistad de dos artistas brasile\u00f1os claves de la est\u00e9tica de neovanguardia del siglo XX. \u201cUna carta es siempre un pedazo de la persona\u201d, dice Lygia en un pasaje que registra la alegr\u00eda que emana del epistolario as\u00ed como las obsesiones que atraviesan las obras de quienes lo escriben: el cuerpo \u2013o su fantasm\u00e1tica, es decir, las percepciones sensoriales que lo desarman en \u201cpedazos\u201d\u2013 y lo que pasa entre las personas cuando median entre ellas objetos art\u00edsticos.<\/p>\n
Clark y Oiticica extremaron las investigaciones sobre la percepci\u00f3n y el \u201cno objeto\u201d del neoconcretismo de Brasil y, en su af\u00e1n por volverlo participativo, abrieron el arte y lo pusieron en di\u00e1logo con el crisol de pr\u00e1cticas culturales que ocurr\u00edan a su alrededor: el under y la cultura rock, la experimentaci\u00f3n con drogas y el\u00a0psicoan\u00e1lisis, el carnaval y la militancia radicalizada. Por eso, adem\u00e1s de las esperables menciones a los artistas visuales y cr\u00edticos m\u00e1s resonantes de la \u00e9poca, en estas cartas aparecen personalidades de la m\u00fasica popular como Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil y Gal Costa, pero\u00a0tambi\u00e9n\u00a0John Lennon, Yoko Ono y Frank Sinatra; figuras del cine experimental estadounidense como Jack Smith y de la\u00a0nouvelle vague<\/em>\u00a0como Jean Pierre L\u00e9aud; y algunos protagonistas de la contracultura brasile\u00f1a como Wally Salom\u00e3o, Glauber Rocha y Suely Rolnik.<\/p>\n En estos env\u00edos, los amigos tejen una cr\u00f3nica aguda y en tiempo real de acontecimientos pol\u00edticos y culturales decisivos, desde la emoci\u00f3n del estallido tropicalista hasta la indignaci\u00f3n y las t\u00e1cticas de supervivencia tras el\u00a0recrudecimiento de la dictadura brasile\u00f1a, desde el asesinato del Che Guevara en Bolivia hasta la explosi\u00f3n de la cultura rock con el Festival de Woodstock. Pero probablemente el legado m\u00e1s deslumbrante de estos intercambios sea el estado de invenci\u00f3n permanente de las vidas de Lygia y H\u00e9lio, el delirio n\u00f3made y programado al que consagraron su obra y su cotidianeidad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EDITORIAL: CAJA NEGRA<\/p>\n COLECCI\u00d3N: SYNESTHESIA ARTE<\/p>\n COMPILACI\u00d3N: LUCIANO FIGUEIREDO<\/p>\n PR\u00d3LOGO: GONZALO AGUILAR<\/p>\n TRADUCCI\u00d3N Y NOTAS: PATRICIO ORELLANA<\/p>\n ISBN: 978-987-8272-02-3<\/p>\n P\u00c1GINAS: 244<\/p>\n A\u00d1O: 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29529,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[38,97],"product_tag":[206],"class_list":["post-29528","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-pensamiento","product_cat-destacados","product_tag-caja-negra","desktop-align-left","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
