La escultura sonora como objeto y cuerpo sónico: Propuestas creativas dentro del "Groupe de Recherche en Sculpture et Art Sonore" -GReSAS- Quebec, 2005-2011

[EN] Sound sculpture as object and sonic body: Creatives propositions from the "Groupe de Recherche en Sculpture et Art Sonore" -GReSAS- Quebec, 2005 - 2011 The subject of this investigation is to deepen our understanding of the analogic equivalence between a sculptural object and sound phenomena in order to comprehend the sculptural and sonic event as a hybrid visual art phenomena, at once spatial and time based art, and in which measure the concept of sonic body integrates into this new dynamic environment. This thesis is built in three chapters: The first chapter traces the evolution of sound sculpture toward installations and sound environments. Chapter two focuses on contaminations of sculptural phenomena by disciplines foreign to the spatial arts, specifically from theater and time based art. The final chapter underscores other significant influences which have tranformed the way of producing sculpture as well as sonic sculptural events collectively, through interactive and participatory strategies. Parallel investigations analize the experimental practices of the 'Groupe de Recherche en Sculpture et Art Sonore' (GReSAS) from Quebec between 2005 and 2011. The general motivation for this research responds to two preoccupations: The way in which one makes sculpture today, and how the contemporary artistic evento generates sense. With these points of departure, the chosen methodology favors an analogous analysis anchored in concret phenomena in order to grasp the theoretical and practical aspects of our general objetive and, simultaneously, allows the development of an experimental framework for open, creative and collective production. Three essential objectives of the present thesis are, first of all, to analyze sculpture as sound object in its various manifestations by interesting ourselves in the practical articulation of this movement of sculpture towards a sound object during the XXth century which will allow us to understand the context in which a sound object may attain the possibility of being art. Two, to further comprehend the expansion of sound sculpture towards a sonic body and its possible expressions by examining the evolution of the sculptural field, the manifestations and events where a sound component is imperative and essential to the work. Although, far from a complete inventory of the phenomenon, we have underlined works which are indicative of possible sonic bodies to better understand the binomial space - time, of the inalienable
