A exposição como dispositivo na Arte Contemporânea: conexões entre o técnico e o simbólico

Abstract

In the contemporary cultural context, distinguished both by globalization and by investments in micropolitical actions, it becomes necessary to question the not always visible connections of the net that creates the contemporary art field. In this perspective, this article aims at discussing the role of the art exhibit in the contemporary art field.Viewed both as a cultural phenomenon and as an instrument of power, the art exhibit is defined as dispositif, a concept that allows us to go beyond the dualism between the technical and the symbolic,which often guides this debate.
