Books by Luis Guerra Miranda
Wandering Echoes veers between philosophical thought and poetic experimentation, asking for a reading by way of multiple and meandering lines. Underpinning the book is a profound engagement with Fernand Deligny, whose work with autistic children in the 1960s and 70s posed a more experimental understanding of the diversely abled. Wandering Echoes is a work under the influence of Deligny, amplifying his gestural philosophy through lines of thought whose echoes and vibrations lead into a labyrinthine text of personal experience, soft moments and deep restlessness. Subtle and demanding, the book is ultimately an act of poetic-doing which, for the author, enables emergent forms of solidarity.
El Seminario se realizó como parte y corolario de la obra expuesta en la exhibición colectiva realizada en el mismo lugar, DIALOG 3, muestra conformada por los artistas alemanes Bea Stach y el colectivo de Kaspar Wimberley/Susanne Kudielka, y los artistas residentes en Barcelona Mario Santamaría y Luis Guerra. Todo ello bajo el marco de la beca de intercambio y residencia que se inició en 2015 entre las ciudades de Stuttgart y Barcelona.
El Seminario es parte de un proyecto mayor, Notas para una Anarchistoria de la Acción, que hoy está en su fase de culminación mediante una residencia de investigación en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía en Madrid. El proyecto original nació en 2014 con una performance-lecture realizada en La Sorbonne, Paris. Continuó en 2015 mediante la residencia y exhibición en el Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart.
Papers by Luis Guerra Miranda
dialogue with Oliver Marchart’s postfoundational framework and conflictual aesthetics. Through the exposition of two different cases of gestural devices, it exposes Stiegler’s potential postfoundational aesthetics as an attempt to establish the necessary conditions for re-thinking the grounded-ungrounded existing relationship between humans, technical objects, and the composition of potential realities to grasp from an autopoietic relationship. These artistic and cultural examples are considered critical concepts that enhance and interrupt the philosophical discourse. The article argues that Stiegler’s aesthetics is committed to the capacity that art, as a technology of the spirit, can contribute as agency in shaping public power, even when these agents are not directly in conflict and develop lesser and fragile performative technics through which a memory becomes present again.
Dans ce court article j’explore, à partir de l’approche de ma recherche artistique et à travers un ensemble de concepts incorporés, l'agencement de la praxis de Fernand Deligny à la conception d'une Philosophie Gestuelle. Le lecteur y trouvera une série de notions comme l'indomicilié, la trajectoire, la sédimentation accumulative, entre autres, qui composent un réseau permettant de ménager un espace de réception spécifique pour l’oeuvre et la pensée de Deligny. Cet ensemble de notions, tel un mécanisme furtif en mouvement, a pour but de frictionner le donné ordonné de la perception, en convoquant une approche dérivante de la pensée de Deligny.
Engaging with new forms and practices of academic research, we consider this formal and pragmatical format as a line of flight that gives place and explores a multiplicity of exploratory territories based on practices, on experiences, and forms of living.
has mentioned Zambrano as a reference in his own project and poetic thinking. The intention here is to propose a framework of resonances that could open a possibility of reciprocal illumination.

Su aparecer es, por lo tanto, sorprendente, inusitado, de improbabilidad para y según esas condicionantes que ya pre-establecen en el/al mundo, aquellas, las dadas medidas de lo que se da (a) como ser. “Imposible”, dirá la visión conservadora respecto de este. El acontecimiento es una imposibilidad desde la perspectiva del mundo ya dado, en dónde (se) aparece.
