RESUMO

Xilogravuras Secas is a set of engravings that has as main quality the constitution of an entirely new midia of pLasticity. Its most important element of expression is itsauto-reffering meaning. It comes from xyLograph history, in a functional, expressive and technical view. It compares xylograph with other means of reproduction of graphic images and, to this extent, it shows the proceedings utilized in the graphic industry and takes xerography as a midia for expressive reproduction. It exposes the common and divergent sides between electrography and xylography which enfasis is put on the marginal, experimental, multifeatured and poetic characters of each of these midia. It analyzes the relations between art and technic and introduces, under the title Xero/xilogravura, the propposal of associating these midia, which is the objective of the study. It comes as the solution to the technical and expression problems shown by each of the different midia languages in face of the technology applyed to art in our times. From this association comes out a new xylography that is, at the same time, a third means, a hybrid, resulting from the dialog that sets forth in mid of the poetics of the two midia languages. The images that come out, then, show a special quality; they also take an ambiguity of perception because of the non-coded midia (artisans arts and industrial arts); its colliding material characteristics (hot/wood opposed to cold/electrography); the contradiction between the functionality of xerography and the obsolecence of xylograph; the opposition of proceedings (artisans processes of image engraving and the reproductive electro-mechanical method) and the antagonism of the mean~ngs, through the refferences to the excentric signs of the primitive societies (using wood) and the signs of industrial society (using machine). The new midia for plasticity that this study brings up is auto-reffered in the domain of configured images; the object represented is wood and the most important element is the repetition by accumuLation and redundance. There is stilL in Xilogravuras Secas the destruction of the idea of engraving as an artistic traditional category brought by the colLision of midia languages. The research also describes over the steps of creative process, utilized processes in the analysis particularities of each series of works and incLudes reproduction of the engravings
