Spanish term

lugar de emergencia

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting art criticism
Another arty question - previous sentence included for context.

Fulano(the painter) desentierra, como el arqueólogo, el pasado de una memoria que muestra los distintos planos de sedimentación de la imagen. Esta pintura, por tanto, nos sitúa frente al problema de la memoria y su lugar de emergencia


What on earth are they on about??

its place of emergence

Por lo que comenta en la frase anterior de las capas y el trabajo de arqueólogo, creo que emergencia se refiere a "emerger", "aparecer". Es decir, que a través de las imágenes se explora cómo se forma la memoria. Geez, that was a twisted one!

"places us squarely in front of the problem of memory and the springs from which it issues forth...

With topics such as art criticism and philosphy, you really have to be willing to massage the words until you get exactly the feeling you want.

I also like the feeling of multi-layers of memory, such as \"the multi-layered springs\". Memory is frequently compared to the layers of an onion, that have to be removed one by one to get the meat of the memory\'s source.
