Ondas, pontes e intervenções navegáveis: a interferência da arte na paisagem urbana do Centro de Vitória/ES

Abstract

This research addresses the relationship between art, city and landscape, taken from an analysis of the 8° Biennial Sea Hall: Waves, bridges and navigable interventions (2008/2009), a contemporary public art exhibition held in Vitória, Espírito Santo (BR). We start succinctly from a brief territorial history of the city locus of the salon, seeking to understand the relationship between sea and city. Then, we dedicated ourselves to the transitory journey of spaces and formats of: Capixaba Sea Hall (1999 to 2005), Sea Hall (2006), and Biennial Sea Hall (2008/2009). From there, we exclusively approached the eighth edition, at first, individually presenting the works and their connections with place, memory and the urban landscape. In the second moment, critically analyzing the research cutout, the volume of works: We see the City as the City Sees us, by Heraldo Ferreira; The Silence of the Hammer, by Fabrício Carvalho; Water Path, by Piatan Lube; and The Return of Araribóia, by Coletivo Maruípe. The interest of this work is to point out how such works are inserted in the urban space and interfere in different ways in the memorial layers of the existing landscape.
