Meras Coisas e Artes do Espaço: Desconstrução em Obras

ABSTRACT: This text approaches some contemporary works in the visual arts (works by G. Penone, R. Smithson, C. Casanova) which present different relations and dispositions of a material taken to be natural: stone. I intend to revisit the distinctions presented by Heidegger between mere things, utensils and works of art, as well as between stone, animal and man in connection with the world. Furthermore, I will discuss dislocations regarding such issues, based on indications from deconstruction (Jacques Derrida and other authors). I aim to indicate some of the meanings under which deconstructive approaches are fruitful for thinking about contemporary movements within the scope of what Derrida calls "spatial arts".

摘要：本文探讨了G·佩罗内（G. Penone）、R·史密森（R. Smithson）、C·卡萨诺瓦（C. Casanova）的若干当代视觉艺术作品，这些作品围绕被视作天然材料的石材，呈现出多样的关联方式与存在配置。本文旨在重审海德格尔所提出的诸种区分：纯然之物、器具与艺术作品之间的分野，以及石材、动物与人之间的分野，并将这些分野置于与世界的关联框架中加以考察。此外，本文将基于解构主义（deconstruction）的理论指向——以雅克·德里达及其他学者的研究为依据——探讨上述议题所涉及的诸种错位现象。本文旨在阐明，在德里达所称的"空间艺术"（spatial arts）范畴内，解构式研究路径可为当代艺术运动的思考提供若干富有启发性的意义维度。
