Abstract
The objective of this Issue is to offer an overview of art as a communicative phenomenon in the context of contemporary artistic practices. The interest is to focus on the communicative dimension of art based on theoretical and/or artistic proposals that highlight this dimension and, above all, offer a critical view of art beyond the institutional field of art, that is, beyond the aesthetic and philosophical dimension. From this perspective, both dimensions are present in the communicative dimension of art; namely, if artistic communication is first and foremost a practice, that is, a human “doing”, the empirical as well as the axiological are contained. Therefore, this proposal aims to be an approach to identify and/or explore theoretically and methodologically the artistic phenomena and practices from a communicative perspective, where reflection proposes a necessary review and discussion on the role of art in the social, more in the current contexts where art is linked not only with the art institution but with social movements such as feminism, the defence of communal and urban territory; the fight against ecocide, migration or violence, among others. This issue aims to visualize the relationship between the communicative, the aesthetic, the sociocultural and the artistic.
