O Desenho Como Errância Fronteiriça: Tributo ao Filósofo Espanhol Eugénio Trìas
Drawing understood as "border wandering" was the subject of António Mendanha’s research as part of his doctoral thesis presented in 2007 to the University of Vigo, at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Pontevedra.
For more than a decade, the author studied Eugenio Trìas' philosophy of the limit, in order to guarantee credibility and ontological support for the idea that whenever a line travels on paper, it establishes defined physical boundaries, while opening itself up in a questioning way to the infinity of senses and meanings. There, the line is conjunctive and disjunctive at the same time: it unites and separates because, in its flesh, it presents itself as a tripolar boundary between matter and transcendence. And, the author asks, isn’t that what we are?
