Fotografia Artística Contemporânea: Tendências, Problemáticas e Desafios
Curatoriais reflecte acerca do percurso da fotografia perante um fluxo de imagens
digitais que veio alterar a função tradicional do medium. Sendo assim, atenta nas
manifestações de criadores que, apesar das adversidades, a continuam a promover
como forma de arte e veículo de ideias. A partir desta premissa, apresenta motivações,
tendências e formas de expressão que caracterizam o discurso fotográfico
contemporâneo.
Posteriormente, centra-se na relevância do curador, como figura dinâmica do
mundo da arte. Refere-se, então, às metamorfoses que a sua actividade sofreu e que
lhe permitiram conquistar uma voz própria. Seguidamente, aborda os desafios com
que a curadoria contemporânea se confronta, mencionando, ainda, as problemáticas
decorrentes de estratégias, modus operandi ou linhas de acção específicas. Incide,
também, na história da curadoria, debruçando-se sobre os séculos XX e XXI e
aludindo aos seus momentos definidores. Destaca, de igual modo, a arte de curar
fotografia contemporânea.
De seguida, o relatório abre espaço de reflexão para as diferentes fases do
estágio curricular, levado a cabo no Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa | Fotográfico. Neste
contexto, expõe as etapas conducentes ao processo curatorial de uma nova edição d’A
Imagem Contextualizada. Revela como o projeto, experienciado na primeira pessoa,
foi uma profunda imersão numa narrativa museológica multifacetada, que adquiriu
novas dimensões. Remete, ainda, para a reinvenção da Sala de Leitura, que acolheu a
mostra, dando voz a novos modos de ver a fotografia emergente. Consequentemente,
realça a importância dada ao suporte de mesa, à organização do local em ilhas
expositivas e à poética lumínica. A explanação sublinha, também, a pertinência de um
estreito contacto entre curador e criador, comprovando o enriquecimento mútuo
resultante de uma profícua partilha de ideias. Por fim, dá palco à urgência do repensar
da folha de sala, enquanto elemento dinamizador da exposição.
Entitled Fotografia Artística Contemporânea: Tendências, Problemáticas e Desafios Curatoriais, the present dissertation reflects on the trajectory of photography towards a flow of digital images that changed the traditional function of the medium. As such, it pays attention to the statements of creators who, despite adversities, continue to promote it as a form of art and a tool to convey ideas. Based on this premise, it presents motives, trends and forms of expression that characterize the contemporary photographic discourse. Subsequently, the research focuses on the importance of the curator as a dynamic figure in the world of art and brings up the metamorphoses that his work underwent and that allowed him to gain his own voice. Then, it addresses the challenges faced by contemporary curatorship, centering on the problems that arise from strategies, modus operandi or specific lines of action. The study also covers the history of curatorship, with a focus on the 20th and the 21st centuries alluding its defining moments. It highlights, next to that, the art of curating contemporary photography. After that, the report makes it possible to reflect on the different phases of the curricular internship that was carried out at the Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa | Fotográfico. In this context, it exposes the steps that led to the curatorial process of a new edition of A Imagem Contextualizada and reveals how the project was a deep immersion in a multifaceted museum narrative. The work also refers to the reinvention of the Sala de Leitura, which housed the exhibition, creating new ways of seeing emerging photography. Finally, the paper underlines the importance given to the table as a way of showcasing the artworks, the organization of the exhibition space into islands and the illumination. It emphasizes, as well, the relevance of close contact between curator and creator, proving the mutual enrichment of sharing ideas, and reveals the urgency of rethinking the flyer with the curatorial statement as a dynamic element of the exhibition.
