The Body in Contemporary Art in the Paradigm of Political Thinking from Left to Right

Summary/Abstract: The relationship of contemporary art with political thought is a special one, that is different from the paradigms up to modernism, where the political gesture begins to be appropriate. Avant-garde artists are consolidating the integration of political thought into artistic discourse.The artistic gesture is constructed considering certain typologies that bring it closer to the doctrinal left or right. In contemporary art, the structure of conceptual construction of the artistic subject, especially for a good part of what we could call “the new conceptualism”, has a strong political and doctrinal value. The comparative analysis in this paper aims to analyse the way politics (in the sense of political thinking) influences and generates both topics and approaches in the area of contemporary art.
