Latin america go.es: the art of action as an experiential research methodology. DOI: 10.37785/nw.v2n2.a6

Abstract

Latin America Go.es is a multidisciplinary research project on the different cultural appropriations that the Latin American communities living in Madrid carry out in the public areas (2011-2015).  The idea arose from a joint collaboration between the groups “Arcitectura Expandida” (Bogota) and “Elgatoconmoscas” (Madrid). The objective of this article is to analyse and interpret the results of this study focusing on the different approaches that were carried out through the art of action, all documented audiovisually (documentary, Video-art). Various artistic perfomances that make up the research: Ecuavóley, Carrito Barbacoa (trolley-barbecue) and Corte Latino (Latin cut) work as independent pieces but have been compiled and exhibited jointly in the Project exhibition C.I.T.I., under the title of El Evento esta fuera (The Event Is Out There) as a public spread of the results. What is intended is to highlight the relevance of the experiential component in a study on purely existential cultural events.
