Tese de Doutorado
The increasing understanding of coloniality as the perpetuation of the colonialism’s dynamics in contemporary societies inspires and motivates both the critical artistic insurgency of colonial hierarchies and the affirmation of historically marginalized narratives. In this sense, the contemporary exhibition space, through the agency of the artists, can become a device for transformation, by constituting ruptures that destabilize hegemonic canons and presenting alternatives for new modes of being. In this thesis I seek to identify strategies and tactics implemented by contemporary artists, both hegemonic and non-hegemonic, in the instrumentalization of the exhibition space as a place of power-affirming utterance, analyzing how these practices challenge cultural hierarchies and drive political, social and cultural transformations through the contemporary artistic field. The methodology was based on the tactic of the body in laboratory during visits to exhibitions, combined with the collection of documentation, image analysis and theory key concepts mobilization, through an interdisciplinary bibliography. I have observed that contemporary exhibition space, once understood as an exhibition-artwork space, above all, when acting as an installation-immersion intervention conceived from a critical and/or peripheral perspective, enables the experimentation of other ways of seeing, as well as alternative modes of existence.
