Artes de acción: re-significación del cuerpo y el espacio urbano

Abstract

The article analyzes action arts such as performance, happening\nand body art, emphasizing on their achievements both\non artists and spectators and participants, when carried out in\nurban spaces amid recreational purposes. The author extends,\namong others, on the cultural, social, psychic, urban, and\npolitical importance and reach of playfulness as an essential\ncomponent of action arts: non-object-related works that provide\nthe human body with different meanings and serve like\nindividual and collective self-recognition devices. It analyzes the\ncity as scenario, as a non-discrimination space where artistic\nactions emerge as a subversive game that questions institutionalism\nand scrutinizes the whole apparatus accountable for the\nclassic and �even� modern art mystification that segregated\ncertain audiences and artists. It points out that we are living\nin a time of diversity, difference and multiculturalism, hence,\nrecognizing ourselves in artworks is getting to know something\nelse about ourselves and conquering one truth about the world\nand the place we inhabit: the city.
