GERVILLA, Lucas Rossi. Site-specific: trabalhos direcionados para um lugar predeterminado. RILP [online]. 2020, vol.38, pp.49-67.  Epub 21-Mar-2021. ISSN 2182-4452.  https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2020.38/pp.49-67.

This article presents a retrospective of the artistic language known as site-specific and discusses issues such as the use of video and the spectator’s presence (or not) in this kind of work; e how the camera can be used as an agent of mediation between the artist and the audience. We analyze some of the works that are considered precursos of this style - which appeared in the mid-1960s - and the idea of how the removal or place changing of a site-specific work can transform it or modify its meaning. The text also proposes an approximation between art and and anthropology when we discuss that place of an artwork does not need necessarily to be a physical space. This article’s starting point is the thinking of authors such as Miwon Kwnon, Nike Kay, Phillipe Dubois and Hal Foster.

Palabras clave : Contemporary art; predeterminade places; site-specific; video.
