The Multiplicity of Contemporary Art: Exploring Artivism, Participatory Art and Mediation
| Resumo: | This text delves into the multifaceted nature of contemporary art and its proliferation in a multitude of "isms," particularly during the post-World War II period of the 20th century, which witnessed the emergence of approximately 21 art movements in the 1960s. Within this crucial decade, the genesis of artivism, a novel practice and attitude of creators, unfolded, subsequently exerting a growing influence up to the present day. This essay explores the concepts of participatory art, social sculpture, and relational aesthetics that arose during this era, as part of a complex process of art's dematerialization, which shifted it from its traditional exhibition spaces to the streets and broader social and human interaction contexts. The significance of art-idea surpassed that of art-object, necessitating a reevaluation of new approaches to fundamental concepts in mediation. |
