CECÍLIA JUCA, GRAPHIC ARTIST: The books 1ª Paca and Escritura, by the hands of the author.
This work seeks to explore and analyze a small part of the history of Brazilian design. It studies the design processes applied in books produced in the 1970s by Cecília Jucá, an editorial designer who is still active today. In order to do so, the following method was used: 1) Analyze the original books (1ª Paca, 1970 and Escritura, 1973); 2) Interview Cecília Jucá, in Rio de Janeiro, in November 2017; 3) Review a bibliography on the historical and social context. The goal of this research is to analyze the characteristics of the designer's creative and projective activity in the design and production of the selected books and establish what were the graphical and material results achieved. It also intends to rescue the memory of Cecília Jucá's work and situate it amid the history of Brazilian graphic design, highlighting its value and documenting the author's testimony.
ART FROM THE HEART, 2015
Due to its location, the Czech Republic is often referred to as the heart of Europe. Romantic notions consider the heart to be the dwelling place of love, emotion and the soul. In Chinese medicine, the heart is also the dwelling place of the “I”, our ego. Sensitive individuals are thought to be destined to express themselves through artistic means, therefore an artwork is perceived not just as an imprint of the artist’s soul but also as a reflection of the time or place in which it was created. This exhibition offers us an uncommon view of Czech visual art, from a distance of several thousand kilometres. This separation, which is compounded by cultural and environmental differences, enables us to look at things from a new perspective, in a new context. It is therefore possible to discover completely new connections and meanings which may not be completely evident in the place where the work originated. The title of the exhibition also has a second and perhaps even more significant meaning: For the artists who are represented here, art is an obsession, an inner necessity, “a matter of the heart”, as it is often called. The exhibition centres on painting – the “royal discipline” of art. The main selection criteria were imagination, creativity and impact – the fundamental values that art should embody and which seem to be slowly disappearing these days. All of the artists are well-established and each has arrived at a distinctive form of expression, which is perhaps what connects them more than anything else.

About The Artist: Hugo Cataldo Barudi
Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies, 2014
He is the current President of the Organización de Profesionales del Audiovisual Paraguayo (OPRAP), which could be described as the Paraguayan Director's Guild. He is also the owner of Ficticia, a production company specializing in feature film development, film and TV production services. In this interview we talk about his digital art, painting and drawing, (the Monsters series, the Punto húmedo series, the Frida series and its reception), his last feature-length film on sexual deviance, (Semana capital, 2010), his next feature-length film on innocence in love (La chiperita, 2015), and filmmaking in contemporary Paraguay. This volume of the Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies features works of art from the Frida series; a series that began as strictly digital variations on the theme of iconic images of Frida Kahlo, yet quickly moved beyond that as art collectors requested prints and later painted versions. Once Cataldo began producing the painted adaptations of these digital originals, demand for the pieces exploded. In this interview Cataldo speaks a little about the sometimes ironic implications of this situation in terms of the market's treatments of pieces qualified as "originals" versus "copies." This interview took place in July 2013. More of Cataldo's selected digital art can be seen here: http://hugocataldo.blogspot.com/
Eutopia - Where the heart matters
Oslofjord Ecologies AS.Vol 18 Edited by Kristin Bergaust, Rasa Smite and Daina Silina, 2020
This article tells the story of a research project that developed a visual method, SPLOT, which was created into the art project Eutopia. Young people, some- times from difficult social circumstances, answered the question “Where do you feel good?” by embroidery. From this ex- perience, a language around Thirdspace knowledge and transcultural youngster identity is tried out. Thirdspace is under- stood as a space of extraordinary openness and reflection. Through embroidery as ma- terial and narrative stitches as the method I seek to explore the possibilities that lie within the connection between ones’ sto- ries and identity. Between the concrete and abstract of thinking and doing. Between in- tuition and sensuous knowledge visualized with thread and a needle. In the meeting between individuals and communities. And in the space and place of a transdiscipli- nary research project. Keywords: embroidery, youngsters, trans- cultural, interdisciplinary and Thirdspace knowledge.
Marcelo Cespedes. Article. Art With A Purpose
Art With A Purpose, 2016
The present article intends to carry out along the lines the complex task the analysis of the purpose a piece of art represents. Taking as a starting point Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd’s sculpture: Non-Violence, also known as “the knotted gun”. The analysis of any artwork represents an ambitious undertaking where social, historical, and theoretical context must be noted and taken into account, where in this case, peace or non-violence, take the leading part. In addition, we must take into account, peace must be established on the basis of humanity’s moral and intellectual solidarity in order to succeed.
