Abstract
In this paper we analyze the relationship between art and politics through the poetics of the artist Edgardo Antonio Vigo in a time artistic and politically convulsed: the 1960s and 1970s. Rather than to a link in which the political context determines and frames art’s politicity, we appeal to an interpretation in which that connection is multiple, complex and unstable, building a weave. In order to do that we analyze three zones of his work − visual poetry, actions in public space and the use of legal language in his works − since we consider they make it possible to interpret central aspects of his political poetics.Format
