01. Proposal 06/15/2015

Where does inspiration come from to compose a song, to write a poem, to make a painting, or even to build a chair?

-
How much of the creation process is intuitive or purposeful? Is it possible to have conscious about that? Is creativity something that can be learned or practised? 

Is it possible to explain a way of seeing and structuring a thought? How do I structure my thought? The Creation Processes project came from those questions.

The propose is: to investigate through series of video interviews with artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, art curators, dancers, actors, what is the creation process and how it works from different areas and points of view; to document the development of this project; and to collect all these information in a large catalogue, as a guide about contemporary creation processes.

Creative process Book

"The artifact that reaches the bookstore shelves, the exhibitions or the theatre appears as a result of a long journey of doubts, adjustments, certainties, achievement. Not only the result but all that way to get to it is part of the truth that the work loads."

Creative process conceptual

I believe as Cecília Salles that "art is not only the product considered finished by the artist", but the whole process made by him to get to the finished product. The whole complex of logic connections, thoughts, formulas, sketches, records, studies, physical materials or not, that often do not receive attention, and sometimes they are stored in drawers, in mind, deleted or hidden. The great question of this project is to understand how a work is created and to do so, see it finished is not enough, it is necessary to know all those ways of thinking and what conects the process to the whole. The likes, beliefs that lead the action of the creators, their historical, social and cultural moments, their values and their way of seeing and representing the world, are essential to understand the ways they see the things.
Certanly, not every process is possible to be explained or presented, but I believe it is possible to know it a little better. And this is one of the first objectives of this project: to offer the possibility of look through the creation from the perspective of the process. Finally, this is an opened project, opened to rethink its own process and to add new questions on the content.
