Diánoia - El arte y su otro, o la estética antiidealista de Adorno

On Art Activism

The phenomenon of art activism is central to our time because it is a new phenomenon—quite different from the phenomenon of critical art that became familiar to us during recent decades. Art activists do not want to merely criticize the art system or the general political and social conditions under which this system functions. Rather, they want to change these conditions by means of art—not so much inside the art system but outside it, in reality itself. Art activists try to change living conditions in economically underdeveloped areas, raise ecological concerns, offer access to culture and education for the populations of poor countries and regions, attract attention to the plight of illegal immigrants, improve the conditions of people working in art institutions, and so forth.

National Portrait Gallery

In 1917, having recently arrived in the United States, Duchamp found special significance in a mechanically produced photo-postcard that depicted him simultaneously from five different vantage points, thanks to a hinged mirror. The Five-Way Portrait of Marcel Duchamp suggests the artist’s early recognition of the multifarious nature of personal identity, something he would continue to explore throughout his career. Fascinated with the way portraits shape identity, Duchamp exploited the genre, often turning conventional codes for portrayal on their head.

In 1921 Duchamp famously pictured himself as Rrose Sélavy (a pun translating to “Eros is life,” when pronounced aloud in French). He would associate himself with this female persona throughout the remainder of his career. Velvet galerie - mobilier design - Quasar Khanh - inflatable furniture-pop culture.

Neoliberalismo y autonomía del arte - Irmgard Emmelhainz. Tomando esto en cuenta, podríamos definir al neoliberalismo como una sensibilidad que moldea subjetividades, empapa al arte y a la cultura, diferencia al tiempo que homogeniza a la gente, le da forma a las vidas y a los deseos.
