The body as an articulator of meanings

Works of art are rooted in our culture and are capable of producing different resonances. In these works, different aspects of interpretation are developed, aimed at three specific axes: the aesthetic, the ethical and the political.art produces images that install a conflictive dimension. A dimension that often infiltrates and we do not perceive it in our daily lives. It crosses centuries and maintains its capacity to irradiate formative components of discourse and behaviour; these irradiations are part of the activity of the works themselves, even when the artists are not fully aware of them. They mark bodies, behaviours and relationships between people, because they constitute the founding forms of the visual discourses that have shaped our contemporary culture. Art has functions that have provoked an infinite number of theoretical developments, but these have neglected how formal questions are constituted as the background of a complex device. This ethical, aesthetic and political content, which exceeds superficial readings, are the underlying layers of the behaviours endorsed and sustained.
