Aesthetic-political transbodykinetism: the daily life of the trans body and the dissension in my practices in contemporary art

Abstract

This article is a part of the research "Where are the transbodykinetic tranny?" in progress in the Associate Program of Post-Graduate in Visual Arts UFPE/UFPB. Through a literature review it seeks to understand how a kinetic production, within the context of contemporary art, that portrays the transgender body, theirs changes and theirs daily life, can cause dissension. The theoretical framework will be composed by Rancière (2012), Butler (2020), Preciado (2017) and others. This study intends to expand the theoretical connections between art regimes, according to the first author, and the concepts of performativity and counter-sexuality, respectively presented by the last two authors, based on the creative process of a transbodykinetic sculpture. In addition, it seeks to find investigative paths for the artistic practices developed in the program. References that will be guided by the relations existing between the theoretical panorama investigated, the aesthetic and political interventions of the performer Indianara Siqueira in her approximations with the monsters pedagogy of Cohen (2000) and, Finally, the bodily changes experienced by trans people through theirs lives. Finally, it is considered that this investigation proposes an unfolding of the regimes of art and stimulates the combination of their poetic/representative, ethical and aesthetical characters, since traditionally trans women would not have been properly contemplated by sculpture production, much less by kinetic art.
