Arte e jornalismo: a utilização de práticas jornalísticas na concepção de obras na arte contemporânea

Abstract

Part of apparently opposing worlds, journalism and art occupy and serve two disparate spectrums of society: journalism deals with the task of reporting, in the most objective, clear and impartial way possible, the facts and phenomena, trivial or extraordinary, that affect in a relevant way to the life of society; art, in turn, proposes to touch where journalism does not allow itself, where clarity is lost in the midst of the unconscious and subjectivity: in the soul. Contemporary art, or post-modern art, in an even more specific way, seeks to break with the standards of the traditional notion of art itself, and to do so it often uses the appropriation of elements and techniques from other fields of knowledge. In this case, journalism. In this monograph, we seek to analyze the panorama presented and the possibilities that this meeting provides for the future of journalism. Authors such as Lucia Santaella, Alfredo Cramerotti and Fabiana Moraes touch, with their works, on this ancient and controversial discussion between these distinct fields, but which have several similarities and points of interconnection. Some contemporary artists, such as Jonathas de Andrade from Pernambuco, Bárbara Wagner from Brasilia, among many others, find the foundation for the production of their works in journalistic practice, mixing documentary, reportage, photography, interviews and investigation. Along with this, journalism finds itself facing the challenge of dealing with the post-truth era, where news, as we know it, no longer seems so welcome and we begin to realize that, more than just making people known, we need to make you feel.
