Diálogos transdisciplinares sobre o corpo a partir da obra de Lygia Clark

Abstract

This paper deals with Lygia Clark’s works that refer to the “Nostalgia body”. These works will include the participant’s body, which was once a mere spectator, and it is in contact with the body that the work will take place. This viewer who contemplates the work of art, and is part of the art system hearing, also suffered several cultural, ethical and political transformations in the same period she produced her works. The changes concerning the body itself (through culture and science) and the relationship of the art system with the body (artist and / or viewer) are the transformations of the great contemporary systems of knowledge production. In this study we are interested in addressing some of these changes and relate these body status changes with the work of Lygia Clark.
