Description
The game of art is a recurring feature in the history of art; a reference point for anthropology and aesthetics, and an element that represents every society and culture. And now this game has returned with even more complexity and facets in the search for contemporary artists.
Just think of the twentieth century, when avant-garde movements, like Futurism or Dada, experimented with concepts of irony, being lost, huge steps forward; even decontextualisation of the object/work. With these unexpected and apparently illogical actions, the artists provoked their audience into making their own position on this art, answering to it, reacting and interpreting the new languages of art they were presented with; playing the game.
