Resumen
Descripción
Este artículo constituye un ejercicio de lectura interpretativa alrededor de uno de los aspectos más relevantes en la producción artística de Adolfo Bernal (1954-2008): la apropiación de procesos propios de los campos de la literatura, el lenguaje, la comunicación y el diseño con fines artísticos -- A lo largo del texto se busca poner de presente las circunstancias que originaron sus experimentaciones gráficas y conceptuales con la imagen y la palabra, las cuales guardan una estrecha relación con las transformaciones del campo artístico local en la década del setenta y una sugestiva producción poética, aún en proceso de descubrimiento -- Para llevar a cabo este análisis, se proponen tres acciones: el esbozo de una caracterización de Bernal y su obra que permita situar su trabajo en un horizonte de comprensión; la revisión de los principales giros y acontecimientos en la escena artística local a partir de los años setenta; y, finalmente, el exploración de aspectos relacionales de su ejercicio poético y literario con la producción de sus carteles tipográficos para los diferentes proyectos de intervención urbana.
This paper provides an interpretive reading about one of the most prominent aspects of Adolfo Bernal’s artistic production (1954-2008), namely, the appropriation for artistic purposes of processes typical of literature, language, communication and design -- Throughout this text the circumstances that gave birth to his graphic and conceptual experimentation with both images and words are highlighted, which are closely related to the transformation in the local artistic milieu during the seventies as well as to a suggestive poetic production, still being discovered -- In order to carry out this analysis, three steps are proposed -- First, an outline is given of both Bernal and his production that allows to situate his work within a horizon of comprehension -- Second, a review is provided of key shifts and events that took place in the local art scene from the seventies onwards -- Finally, an exploration is made of the links between his poetic and literary endeavors with the typographic posters he produced for a variety of urban intervention projects.
