RAMOS, Maria Regina; ALMEIDA, Teresa  e  LOUREIRO, Domingos. Cartographies of an Archivist. The “journey” and the “document” as creative strategies for the construction of the “Place”. Revista Convergências [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.32, pp.48-66.  Epub 31-Dez-2023. ISSN 2184-0180.  https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.32.170.

This article discusses, in the context of Contemporary Art, how languages and processes embodied in documentation support - Archive -, have been functioning as an important creative modality, in terms of strategies of authorial construction. In the light of proposals such as “Herbário de Plantas Artificiais” (2002) by the Colombian artist Alberto Baraya, “New Pictures from Paradise” (1998) by the German artist Thomas Struth and “Trajeto de um corpo” (1976-1977) by the Portuguese artist Alberto Carneiro, a vision is drawn around the “archive gesture” - of its various forms, records and strategies of symbolic and conceptual “appropriation” - as a diachronic instrument for acting and capturing the identity of the place, analyzing the real experiences of artists “in situ” and their translations and aesthetic and poetic implications in the construction and “re-signification” of these “extracts” of territory - both discursive, mnemonic and imagery.

Palavras-chave : Art; Archive; “On-site” performance; Poetic construction strategies; Memory.
