Art and displacement: walking, obeying or protesting

Keywords: Contemporary art, displacement, drift, control, protest

Abstract

Artists’s and public displacement as part of the artwork’s meaning is a tradition that dates as back, at least, to the time of the early XXth century avant-gardes. Recently, some artists use person’s and even object’s strolls and tours as an artistic practice. The present article is focused on a review of works based on the creation of events or actions associated with civil protests and with the confrontation between police and multitudes that express their unconformities in the public space. The texts describes three types of visual structures that stand out among these works: order, chaos and obstruction.
