Artistic practice as political space

Abstract

The contemporary processes of artistic practice raises questions concerning artists, their political and social context, and all the other factors that, combined, make up the way one position oneself in the world. The political aspect guides the aesthetic choices and, hence, ethical stances, so it is necessary to reflect on how the relationship between artists involved in developing an artistic practice can transform this workspace in a political space. For this, the concept of politics is introduced, as well as the connec- tions between subjectivity, singularity, intersubjectivity and affection, and discussions between consensus and dissent, which traverse these rela- tionships, to understand what enhances this space as political.
