La Práctica Artística Contemporánea como Crítica a la Noción de Trabajo en Arte

摘要

Throughout history, a large number of artists have frequently approached the labor environment and work as subjects for art. However, to a lesser extent, the artistic activity itself has been problematized as labor and/or employment. Nevertheless, in recent times we have attended an in-depth debate about the easements and limitations of artistic activity and its dependence on some established power structures. The text that we develop below raises the repercussions and contradictions of some art projects, which take as a starting point or base on the relationship art/work. Through them, it is possible to notice an awareness of the artists concerning their position in the art system, revealing common practices that highlight its precarity and the lack of a regulatory framework to protect their professional activity. Each one of these ways of proceeding projects reflections and questions we think necessary to review critically since they present sharp comments about the problems we raise in our research.
