The everyday in contemporary art
Description An expressive part of the contemporary artistic installations is marked by a strong investment of the artists in strategies that privilege the daily (ordinary, banal). They are works that privilege most of the time ordinary people, in routine situations, without any marked or privileged event. Artists, with the most varied proposals, turn to daily life in different ways, provoking / stressing the banality of our daily conditioning and problematizing our experience with images. In photography, cinema, installations and performances, daily life is taken up and reinvested in new possibilities. In this context, it is important to perceive some general aspects that insert these works in the same field of contemporary artistic problems, such as: an ambiguous relation between art and daily life, a search for non-events or minimal events, a rarefied narrative, , A fragmented and multiple experience marked by the permanent oscillation between the search for meaning and a sensitive experience. Whether as repetition, habit, drift, expectation or performance, daily life offers us varied affective possibilities that surpass the domain of world recognition, and offers us different modalities of experience. |
