Abstract

This article initially traces back to the early 2000s to discuss the genesis of artistic and activist collectivism in Brazil as a distinct form of collectivity from groups. Within this context, we underline the ways in which these collectives maintain a critical relationship with art institutions. We then address how "Zona de Poesia Árida" exhibition, held in 2015 at Museu de Arte do Rio, reenacts a series of debates around the process of institutionalization and historicization of these collectives in contemporary art circuits. Drawing on theoretical contributions from Cristina Freire, Lucy Lippard, Jacques Rancière, and Peter Bürger, we explain how the discussions that emerge in this exhibition stem from a simplistic relationship between art and vital praxis, where political efficacy depends on exiting art spaces. Finally, we propose critical institutionality as a way to maintain a certain field of contaminations between art, non-art, activism, and politics in tension.
