Summary: This research draws a picture for the various artistic events of the twentieth century that have made use of "epidermal", a term that goes beyond the skin, to venture into other areas parallel to the interest of the study, such as the sacred, empty, fetishism, or the passage of time .. among others. In essence, what epidermal encompasses a vision amplified everything concerning the limits and its fluctuations, generating a detailed ecosystem classifications and matrices, as defined by the artists who use regardless of their training or discipline makes this field expanded. Initially, the work includes a context of the current notion of the skin, starting from the purely physical, his orgnicidad material, more psychological qualities, as suffering, illness or various facets of perceptual process, all coupled with the projection of the identity on the surface of the subject. The categories performed in the second part, focusing on the re / presentation of the skin, the relationship between internal and external, or other qualities and extensions tissue (membranes, coatings, containers) not only outlines a series of boundaries between the roles and ways to use of the term "skin" in art, but rizomático build a system in which ideas complement each other and overlap, to shape some of the most interesting scenarios of work. Among them, we bring a broader conception of the skin, understood as the threshold, rather than limit, as its ability to be always in the middle, in a constant state of open, une inevitably to the porosity of the surface devenires given, as with everything that conceals and reveals its depth.

Summary: The central theme of the study focuses on a sculptural conducted by Alfredo Sada. Navarro This sculptor, born in 1949 and died in 1992, developed a work whose originality and individuality was defined at the end of the eighties, although it is true that the fatal outcome of the author left truncated his career when starting to consolidate, (hence let's talk about "project" to emphasize the sudden interruption occurred, has no influence on the degree of development that have their sculptures). That said, write down which has developed a rigorous biographical reconstruction and that this has led us to conduct a review of the context in which the artist lived. However, the field work focused on achieving a documentation of his work has involved the cornerstone of the thesis, achieving an unpublished so far. Logically, it has conducted an analysis of the works, also drawn the appropriate conclusions. In short, it has been dealt with the life and work our a sculptor who had their peak in the eighties, an artist, on the other hand, although it has reached the remarkable relevance, it has not come to be recognized in the proper way.

Summary: We proceed from the assumption that the subject has become a 'material' to the artwork, but no longer as a center or tool of a speech (political, religious, artistic), but as part of the training of the work, his own 'metalanguage'. The artistic context assumes the purpose of expanding the representational field work, painting, sculpture and other forms of expression, or replacing its symbolic nature, religious and / or political generating different structures to access the meaning of the work. In some cases, the object tells the art to be aware of the evolutionary process of their own language to develop systems and artistic conclusions. The art, therefore, could take the methodology of the object in the construction of meanings.

Summary: Venancio White shows a unique and attractive personality. So the following questions arise: What is  is structured and how the creative process of this artist?,  How does personality in the creative process?,  What relationships exist between Venancio White as a person and as an artist with the originality of his work? The investigation of this argument leads us to suggest that the artist is a person with a calling, which gets a intimacy between education received and the reality provided aesthetically, producing an original expression. Sculptor Venancio White is a person whose vocation is starring privacy education and training and the result of a contemplation screened by his personality. In this lies its originality. His sculpture is not artificial or individualistic. It is the product of a contemplation of reality to penetrate it to be valuable in it and transform it into one of art, with understandable language by the public participates in a game common creativity. The surroundings are not things, but they can be creative elements inner workings. The possibilities of creative play, which was converting foreign and strange and intimate. The keys to be original transmits them through all life, which is intense and input by the entire Arts. But the artist also shows humanity, is a person who is always excellent in conveying possibility illusion around them that makes you spare no effort before an artistic work. The proposed discovering a vocation admirable and serious training before a responsible and adding genuine concepts of joy and friendship. Whenever we have called 'the master'.

Summary: This work is a kind of metaphorical approach to the arts. To that end, it makes use of new scientific theories (new scientific paradigm), and their interactions with other fields varied (Oriental art, net-art, yoga, meditation, mantras, dance, biology, shared knowledge, ecology, etc.). . These intersections allow explore the nature of the language of art in its many manifestations, creating networks meant that each weaves according reading specific time. For the same purpose, it has developed an interface that produces maps relationships between different pieces or nodes (in this case multimedia documents) and believes that chaos, the synchronicity and metaphors as tools for creating ocnocimiento.Por So, it impossible an exhaustive tour of this work as it has an intrinsically nonlinear reading and always circumstantial. As structure basis for establishing these relationships, it has developed a theoretical corpus which raised five types of structures thought interdependent and interconnected with each other. The primary objective is the creation of new relational, so we can say that if the nodes are not important in the relations between them are those who give to the body theoretical consistency. Work is the idea of microcosm reflecting all facets of existence in which none of them is really crucial, but an expression of the interdependence and interrelatedness of the same. Thus, the nodes are like small jewels, causal encounters, with a different approach. Some are the result of a long process, others a lucky touch emerged at the right time. Together they form a network of small flashes whose gestures form a unique content, a mosaic that each will build its extent in a single trip through these virtual spaces and times. Therefore, we have developed a very flexible tool for creating knowledge that is developed in a non-linear.

Summary: This research presents a theoretical and practical analysis on the current situation of urban public space from the perspective of public art neomedial. Based on the historical reasons that led to its establishment, we have defined parks and squares as communication interfaces; designed to places that they develop communication citizen and therefore generate public sphere. But in recent years, are taking place certain socioeconomic processes that make these spaces are no longer the primary interface for communication between citizens. Specifically, in this research we have focused on the changes caused by the massive and permeable irruption of ICT, especially the Internet and telephony móvil- in communication modes and uses of public space, we have analyzed the different processes of migration given the public space between physical and the digital. In response, the parks and squares are in a state of widespread disinterest, so in this investigation go for the refurbishment of these spaces through its hybridization physical and defend the dynamisation of this scenario through integration digital technology in the physical space as a means to develop new dynamic communication, entertainment and education. To analyze the context of artistic practices related to this investigation have qualified works of public art neomedial into six categories according to the integration and use of digital technologies in the urban space: the space hybrid represented representation of what digital the physical space, modification of the physical environment, the streets and board games, remote communication and objects hybrids. Based on analysis of these transformations of public space and practices reflect on the status of these spaces, we have developed four sub-proyectos ...

Summary: Demonstrations creative year 90 developed in a public forum, have come gradually to the facts that make citizens are mobilized, generating mechanisms for gathering, reflection and discussion about these concerns, with the primary objective of helping it occurs more visibility on the groups affected and their problems. This research, the social issues, the approach and development of artistic practices to the public sphere, trafficking in their first chapters discuss how art has evolved from the years 60 to 90, from work to develop thematic intimate Closest to the author's own life influenced by the interior design of the study to those who are designed and produced in collaboration with public spaces in the viewer, which in turn is the engine of the creation theme of these proposals. The investigation continues into three main sections describing the socio-political, socio-cultural and socio, the concepts used in some works of public art in Spain in the 90's, such as those made by Antoni Muntadas, El Perro, Agencies , Santiago Sierra, The Fiambrera Obrera, Rogelio Lopez Basin, rotor and Antoni Abad. The outline of the research seeks to set up a map showing the contents which have aroused interest among the art collective during this time, in an attempt to reflect on the need for an artist to work with facts and values of modern society. Finally in chapter Today I do not know how to put a specific proposal, has developed the draft presented in the courtroom Edgar Neville. This section responds to the need for a creative experience, based on this research, because as justified in the body of this study, we believe in the appropriateness of the creative thing as a foundation methodology and analysis in a doctoral thesis presented in a College of Fine Arts. This paper shows the social dimension of some issues considered of interest, which arose over a calendar year (taking her last day as public presentation), through various proposals in the form of T-shirts, all espuestas alongside the documents handled for design, analysis and production. Topics such socio-political, socio-cultural and socio-histórico at igaul that the structure worked in the first part of this research, serve as a basis for design and produce T-shirts, used as a medium to transfer and display the message. The topics previously selected, is framed in one of the three schemes above, and the shirt had a political character, historical or cultural. Political, with respect to those items that have outlived protest or social mobilization and require a change in legislation, a response in the system of government or a proposed referendum. Cultural references to the shirts developed under a framework in which education is present values, such as participation, democracy, respect, tolerance, equality, solidarity, driver education, love, peace, cooperation, ecology, environmental education and sustainable development.
