O lugar no espaço: de Martin Heidegger para Eduardo Chillida

Abstract

In preparing the book Art and Space - originally titled Die Kunst und der Raum (1969) - together with the work of Eduardo Chillida, and devote the text written to the sculptor, Heidegger seems to see in the works of Chillida some of his key themes rescued and reunited. This fusion of content and thought was revealed in his dialogue, at another moment, with the poetry of Friedrich Hölderlin. This dissertation aims to present some of the fundamental concepts in Heidegger's work, especially space, place and art; as well as explain the dialogue between these concepts and the works and thoughts of the sculptor Eduardo Chillida. Amongst the main points of this convergence of thought between the philosopher and the sculptor, we can find: the definition of art; the relationship of world and earth; the thinking about the place of art nowadays; and the meanings of interspace, to incorporate and make the space positive
