MARTINS, Mirian Celeste. Causing Encounters with Art through the Cracks of Aesthetic Nutrition and Cultural Mediation. Pensam. palabra obra [online]. 2019, n.22, pp.59-73.  Epub Mar 26, 2020. ISSN 2011-804X.

This article presents two concepts: aesthetic nutrition and cultural mediation, which base a work methodology focused on the training of educators. For the concepts to be experienced, the text brings the revived and interpreted experience of Lygia Clark's proposal entitled Walking and the reading of a photograph of Rita Demarchi in an exhibition by Claudia Andujar at the Moreira Salles Institute / São Paulo. Taking into account the importance of provoking encounters with art, beyond its teaching, aesthetic nutrition can be the trigger for the sensitive encounter with art, arousing curiosity, sharpening perception and imagination and interest to deepen knowledge. The special attention to the other that lives the experience, the listening and the sensitive observation, as well as the silence, become intercessors in the cultural mediation that can open a space for the conversation, the interchange, when looking extended by the gaze of others. To make the encounter with art an aesthetic experience, as Dewey (2010) would say, is to revive it and in it, we act, wrapped, removed from the anesthesia that blinds us or from the indifference that separates us from art.

Keywords : Art; Pedagogy; aesthetic nutrition, cultural mediation; contemporaneity.
