ARTA TREBUIE SĂ FIE FRUMOASĂ...?

Abstract:

In the approach of the scientific study that I have undertaken and continue to carry out on the subject that represents The Woman between theCulture of East and West, reflected in the area of art, I acknowledge many points of view, some of them even destabilizing the status of women as artists, which make a categorization and shaping a coherent plan of ideas a real achievement in itself.The different points of view and the clasification of some avant-garde artists, in terms of analyzing the problems related to the presence of women in all aspects in the artistic environment, be it creator, muse, object or subject, make this research possible. The central figure in this analysis is the Serbian-born artist Marina Abramović, not only for the art she has been performing for more than four decades, but rather for the polysemantism and areas of interdisciplinary interference she suggests. The social and geopolitical implications, the experiences and experiment in art, the connectivity to contemporary, national and international phenomena are the basis of her artistic manifesto. The presence of borderline states of being and situations such as exhaustion, nudity with the status of object and subject, hyperdistorsion of human gestures, flogging and self-mutilation,extratemporalization of positions, phenomenology and anatomy of everyday habits,re-performance, are both means and elements of an artistic vocabulary derived from the existence of contemporary woman from East to West.
