RESUMO

This dissertation presents a reflection about the intersections between artistic practices and contemporary activism, especially in the decades of 1990 and 2000. From different contexts, teh study investigates the concepts and objectives of a collective art, socially engaged, considering their modes of aesthetic experimentation and political expression. Utilizing interviews, manifests, critical texts, newsprints and documents as photographies, videos and movies, the dissertation presnts in the first chapter a historical account about the concatenations between art, political activism and collective production in the twentieth century. In the second chapter, this work analyses a formulation of an "anti-corporate aesthetics", based in interventionist tactics created by artists and collectives in USA, Spain, France, Canada, Australia and Brazil. Their projects involve artistic installations with biological experiments, tactical media cartographies, protests against capitalist globalization, performances and culture jamming. The third chapter presents a study about the artistic collectivism in Brazil and some of their strategies of action, as urban interventions, alternative circuits of production and distribution, projects with specific communities and collaborations with social movements. Besides, the next makes a brief reflection about the attitude and impact of these groups in the art system, characterized by institutional support of museums, galleries, international exhibitions, art critics, curators and corporate sponsorship
