A desimagificação da arte contemporânea

Abstract

The purpose of the text is to make a critical comment to the text “The memory of what has not passed”, by Pedro Hussak Ramos, proposing an approach based on concepts of Theodor Adorno’s aesthetics. The main argument reads the work of Leila Danziger as a testimony to the strategy of “unimaging” in contemporary art, when the devices of abstraction and rupture of the totality of images gain a new drama, beyond the affirmation of art in its programs of purification of forms. This argumentative bias takes as legitimate to make readings of works of art beyond or despite the explicit and conscious positions of its authors and authors.
