Exercises to Undo the Judgment of the Body: First Submissions

I am very happy and deeply moved by the power of the postcards I have been receiving for my call “International Mail Art Call – Exercises to Undo the Judgment of the Body (or to Create a Body without Organs for Oneself)”. In Brazil, this call is part of my master’s research. These are visceral, sensitive, and generous works that engage intensely with the conceptual axis of the proposal and expand its unfolding.My sincere thanks to everyone who is already participating and strengthening this…See More

Greetings,To participate, follow these instructions to create your postcard:Open yourself to creative disorganization.Break the body’s habitual functions: breathe with your belly, see with your skin, hear with your eyes, touch with your liver.Practice becoming: experiment with in-between social, gender, and professional roles.Let yourself be affected by other stimuli—art, music, substances, meditation, or any means that displace your usual sensibilities.Begin your postcard seeking a living,…See More

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
Atualmente sou mestrando no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal do Paraná. Sou artista visual e educador, e, em minha pesquisa e poética, tenho buscado discutir a relação entre arte postal, corpo e educação à luz de Artaud, Deleuze e Guattari. Procuro explorar a arte postal e o conceito de Corpo sem Órgãos na criação de outros territórios existenciais que possibilitem linhas de fuga ao poder. Nesse diálogo, a arte postal torna-se objeto de investigação justamente por escapar dos espaços institucionais da arte.

Envolvo-me com a arte postal porque ela me oferece um território de criação que escapa aos circuitos institucionais da arte e permite inventar outras formas de existência, pensamento e relação. A partir de Artaud, Deleuze e Guattari, compreendo a arte postal como um dispositivo capaz de produzir um Corpo sem Órgãos: um campo de experimentação onde o corpo, a educação e a criação podem se reorganizar sem hierarquias e sem as capturas do poder.

A arte postal me interessa porque circula por vias marginais, atravessa fronteiras e cria encontros imprevistos. Ela opera por deslocamento, interferência e troca, elementos que alimentam meu processo artístico e minha pesquisa acadêmica. Ao trabalhar com ela, encontro a possibilidade de construir outros territórios existenciais, de instaurar pequenas fugas, de dissolver formas fixas de subjetivação.

Em síntese, me envolvo com a arte postal porque ela é um gesto de liberdade, uma prática artística que se abre ao outro, que desmonta os sistemas de controle e que me permite experimentar a arte como campo vivo, pulsante e indisciplinado.

Bom dia, Ícaro. Sou curitibano, mas vim com 5 anos para Minas. Moro em São João del Rei, onde dou aula na Universidade Federal e vou cometendo minhas experiências poéticas. Abraços.

Bom dia Ícaro. Estou bem mais perto de você do que você imagina.  Moro em frente ao MON. Lendo seu perfil acho importante que saiba que fui curador de 3 convocatorias organizadas por uma professora da UFPR nas quais a UFPR concedeu certificados de participação como atividade de extensão.  As tres exposições foram feitas dentro da UFPR e a última foi no MUSA.  Bom lhe ter a bordo da IUOMA!!!
