Artist book\/homage to Manuel Casanueva, architect and teacher at the School of Valpara\u00edso (Escuela de Arquitectura y Dise\u00f1o, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Chile). The Torneos<\/em> (tournaments) were developed in the context of \u201cCultura del cuerpo\u201d (Culture of the Body), a workshop conducted by the architect Manuel Casanueva from 1974 to 1992 in the School of Architecture of the Catholic University of Valpara\u00edso. In these ludic exercises, the concept and structure of each \u201cgame\u201d\u2014 field, teams, rules, props\u2014were utilized to produce different kinds of corporal and spatial interactions that emphasized collectivity, chance, and improvisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tournaments had rules and objectives, but they often failed and then transformed into something else. Each tournament used physical impediments\u2014obstructed vision, stilts, and so on\u2014that challenged the body to function in a new manner within a de ned space and in relation to other bodies. It was not uncommon for one tournament to contain several different versions, or for a tournament to evolve into another one, either by accident or in an attempt to perfect it. Each tournament was inspired by a sport or cultural references like rugby, baseball, silent film antics, and Ariadne\u2019s thread, just to name a few. The tournaments incorporated such classical and popular references while attempting to solve nonexistent problems. Ultimately they were extremely playful spatial exercises enacted in an academic context during a period in Chile in which public space was rigidly controlled by Pinochet\u2019s authoritarian dictatorship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book was conceived during conversations with Mar\u00eda Berrios and Paola Santoscoy in the context of my exhibition \u201cArriba como ramas que un mismo viento mueve\u201d (Up Above Like Branches Moved by a Common Wind), at the Museo Experimental El Eco in Mexico City. It both pays homage to Manuel Casanueva and all the people who contributed to the creation and development of the tournaments, and introduces his work to an international public by providing an English translation of Casanueva\u2019s descriptions of the tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
