The essayistic work\u00a0wants to discuss and examine the methodologies of textual \u2018defining\u2019, and especially that of how to define \u2018space\u2019 \u2013 whether\u00a0particular or universal \u2013 emphasizing the counter-influence of the corporeal sphere and bodily perception affecting the\u00a0articulation of this phenomenon of \u2018defining\u2019.\u00a0As an intertextual work, it observes and investigates the methodological appearing of how to \u2019define\u2019, \u2018organize\u2019 and \u2018relate\u2019,\u00a0particularly through the works of Georges Perec, Marguerite Duras, Vil\u00e9m Flusser and Roland Barthes. Simultaneously, in its\u00a0attempt to localize artistic activity as a practical process of redefinition in itself, it tries to de-code and re-analyze some\u00a0text-based work of artists, such as Trinh T. Minh-ha, Erwin Wurm, and the artist collective Fischli &amp; Weiss.<\/p>\n<p>BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n<p>Elina B\u00e4ckman (b. 1982) lives and works in Helsinki. She received her M.A. degree at Aalto University School of Art, Design\u00a0and Architecture in 2015 and graduated from the School of Art and Media, Tampere University of Applied Sciences (B.A.) in\u00a02008. In 2005-2006, she studied at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany, concentrating especially on\u00a0experimental film and on holography. Her work has been shown at solo exhibitions in Finland, at Galleri Sinne (Diorama,\u00a02010), at Cable Gallery (Now, Reanimated, 2010) and on Studio Stage of Media Centre Lume in the Aalto University (Body, I \u2013\u00a0Translocated, 2013). She has participated in group exhibitions and presented her work at film festivals in the Nordic countries\u00a0as well as in Central and Eastern Europe.\u00a0As mediums for her artistic practice, B\u00e4ckman uses light, photography, sculpture and installation, as determined by the\u00a0context and the articulated phenomena. Her earlier installations \u2013 being minimalistic and reduced in their aesthetics \u2013 often\u00a0require the viewer\u2019s movement in order for them to \u2018appear\u2019, aiming at activating the viewer to corporeally interact and\u00a0influence the appearing of the image itself. Her work often deals with sense perception and the formation of the conceptual,\u00a0examining the relation of cognitive functions to how we perceive and understand the outer phenomena.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1586958075905-519f960f-32ec-1&#8243; include=&#8221;4562,4560,4564,4559,4563,4561,4566,4565,4569,4568,4570,4567&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><center>Maio 2016<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-portfolios"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15412"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15416,"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15412\/revisions\/15416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
