Resumo(s)
O presente relatório tem como finalidade enquadrar criticamente as actividades desenvolvidas para a preservação do espólio artístico de José David (1938-2018), no decorrer do estágio curricular de Mestrado em História da Arte Contemporânea, acolhido pelo Banco de Arte Contemporânea Maria da Graça Carmona e Costa. Os espólios de artistas visuais constituem repositórios de memória histórico-cultural fundamentais para a historiografia da arte, sendo, em muitos casos, a única via de acesso para o conhecimento de obras e expressões artísticas mais afastadas dos meios institucionais. Na primeira parte do relatório, posiciona-se a preservação do espólio de José David sob a óptica da problemática da salvaguarda de legados de artistas contemporâneos. É dada especial atenção às responsabilidades dos cuidadores de espólios de artistas, mostrando como a criação de recursos partilhados entre actores informais e profissionais da cultura podem contribuir para a diversidade e sustentabilidade dos legados artísticos. Na segunda parte da parte do relatório descreve-se as metodologias adoptadas e as tarefas levadas a cabo para a preservação do espólio de José David, incluindo a catalogação dos materiais, a mediação com os herdeiros do espólio, e a investigação historiográfica. Avança-se leituras críticas sobre os conteúdos tangíveis e intangíveis do espólio do artista; seguindo-se o diagnóstico dos desafios sentidos durante a realização do trabalho de campo. Por último, termina-se o relatório com a apresentação de uma proposta de exposição, intitulada Evanescência e permanência na obra de José David. A curadoria baseia-se na selecção de pinturas e desenhos, patentes no espólio do artista, e procura despertar diálogos criativos com o legado do artista.
The following report documents our actions to safeguard the artistic estate of the painter José David (1938-2018). The activities were developed during the Master internship course in Art History - Contemporary Art, with the monitoring of the Contemporary Art Bank - Maria da Graça Carmona da Costa (BAC-MGCC), based in Lisbon, Portugal. Artists’ estates are essential repositories for art histography and, in many cases, may provide the only access to underrepresented artistic and cultural heritage. The first part of the report starts by positioning the preservation of José David's estate through the lens of the safeguarding of contemporary artists' legacies. Special attention will be given to the responsibilities of the heirs of artists’ estates, showing how the creation of shared resources between private custodians and artworld agents can contribute to the diversity and sustainability of artistic legacies. The second part describes the adopted methodologies and tasks performed for the preservation of José David's estate, including the cataloging of the estate materials, the mediation with the heirs, and the historiographical research. Information concerning the tangible and intangible contents of the artist's estate is revealed, followed by a diagnosis regarding the challenges experienced during the practical work experiences. The final part of the report is dedicated to the proposal of an imagined exhibition entitled Evanescence and permanence in José David's works. The curatorship is solely based on a selection of paintings and drawings from the estate and seeks to open creative dialogues with the artist’s legacy.
