Abstract(s)
A Circle on Earth - Circus Drawings is based on a series of 30 drawings that explore the strength of the line, its interactions in the bare space of the sheet, inspired by the movement of aerial acrobats, in a tribute to their ballets in the air, which rouse a combination of emotions from the beholder. This work aims to establish the parallels between Drawing and aerial acrobatics, the reflection of their gestures in space, as well as the creation of lines and compositions, through scratching on physical supports, where the ephemeral movements and spatial configurations of acrobats were graphically recorded, at different intensities and rhythms, in a challenge of making them visible. The approach is consolidated in an investigation of the circus arts, its origins and contextualization, namely aerial acrobatics, in a brief historical survey, from its beginnings to the contemporary New Circus, which reinvents its traditional characteristics through experimentalism, conceiving new aesthetic proposals and concepts. Artworks from some of the most prominent artists of the XIX and XX centuries that explore the circus as a theme are analyzed, their graphic nuances revealed, proposing discussions over the possible conceptions and readings of what circus stands for.
