Entre feiras : uma poética sobre feiras e o mercado de arte e tecnologia

Resumo Ingles

In this research it is intended to investigate the existence or non-existence of an art & technology market. Although it may seem simple, we understand that the inquiries and demands about the theme pass through the art marketing fabric at the same time it pulls back its strings. Questions such as “Is there an emergent production in art & technology that infiltrates a robust art market?” and/or “How is the art & technology market configured?” permeate this research guiding the construction of this text. It also sought to investigate the market's configurations, specifically the possible dynamics and subversions brought by the possibilities of an Art & Technology market. The concepts that surround these fields and their configurations are pointed out in their perspectives by some authors such as Christopher Alexander (2013), Débora Aita Gasparetto (2014 and 2016), Xavier Greffe (2013), George Kornis, and Fabio Sá-earp (2016), Don Thompson (2012), Viviane Vedana (2012), among others. It further builds, through the theoretical-poetic production - by authorial works in Art and Technology - relationships with the Venders Market. The choice of the Venders Market as a place for these artistic processes arises from the idea of meetings of analogies between the Art Market (especially the fairs) and the Venders Market (bureaucracies, audience, mediations, sales and exchanges, culture and specificities of these places). In addition, there must also be distinctions between these spaces, which may be the same causes that makes them powerful, with latencies for reflection and processes. The diversity of encounter in these institutions is vast and for the moment we invite the reader to walk the same path as us: the Market’s Art and the Art Market, Art in the Fair and Fair in the Art, the art venders and venders artists, the fruit galleries and the fruit-work, the work curators and the seed curators, among others.
