This exhibition featuring selected works from the collection of
the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo attempts to explore the
different facets of action art, such as behavioural art and body
art, as this discipline constitutes one of the museum's principal
lines of growth and research.
The premises of behavioural art
are found in action art, analyzing individual and social behaviour,
whereas body art evolved from the former and encompasses a large
number of artistic expressions that are all related to the body
yet very different in both form and intentionality, as Simón Marchán
Fiz noted in his famous essay "Del arte objectual al arte de concepto"
which recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of its publication.
As a temporary exhibition of
the museum's permanent collection, this show brings together works
from different moments in time by artists belonging to different
generations.
