Colección Punto Aparte. 172p b/w plates ports. frontis facs. meas. draws. appens. bibl. ind. pict. b/w pict. fldg. wrps Author Ardila Luna reconsiders the artistic representation of nature and the constant concern against natural disasters developing theories on the crisis of modernity and how different environmental effects have affected Colombian art. The study is divided in 2 chapters: 1 "The Interprested Landscape" is a study of a landscape exhibition by the same name organized in 1999 by the museum of the Banco de la República and 2 "Art and environmental anxiety" analyzes various exhibitions where artist reflect their ecological concerns. Includes interviews with Alberto Baraya and Maria Elvira Escallón. This is a major contribution to the literature on art landscape the environment and the relationship of disaster facing Colombia. Desde hace por lo menos 20 años no se había escrito sobre el paisaje en el arte colombiano. Era una deuda de los investigadores con el trabajo de muchos artistas contemporáneo que han escogido el paisaje como un reto para representarlo con la inocencia perdida porque se han dado cuenta de las fuerzas económicas políticas y sociales que lo atraviesan. Frente a este panorama tan amplio Óscar Ardila resolvió abordar su tesis de maestría con la pregunta sobre la representación del paisaje en el límite del sueño de dominio de la naturaleza y la preocupación frente al desastre. Es una tesis que va tejiendo teorías acerca de la crisis de la modernidad y de la representación con las obras de algunos artistas colombianos de los años 90. La imposibilidad de la naturaleza es un título que permite entrever una cierta ansiedad de los artistas frente al campo colombiano atravesado por el narcotráfico los sistemas policivos el desplazamiento la violencia y la deforestación. La imposibilidad de la naturaleza se refiere también a la imposibilidad de representarla sin poner en crisis los cánones. Una crisis que sin embargo ha inventado muchas estrategias: cartografías intervenciones en la tierra o en los árboles nuevas lecturas del pasado recolección de muestras caminatas registros siembras recolección de relatos grabaciones de sonido estrategias curatoriales confrontaciones comparaciones archivos.La imposibilidad es un síntoma de reconocimiento de una crisis y este libro se decide a plantear la urgencia de acompañar teóricamente unas obras de arte que se han abierto camino en solitario al reconocer una naturaleza en crisis casi imposible de representar. Este libro acompaña a los artistas que se han inventado sin embargo estrategias para recuperar la naturaleza en la imagen porque si lo pensamos detenidamente han reconocido la crisis en al territorio más vital y emocional que podamos imaginar.
