Abstract

GUERRERO, Eugenio Mangia. Neo-Dada and actionism: The New York - Vienna connection of the Neo-avant-garde. Índex [online]. 2017, n.4, pp.51-65. ISSN 2477-9199.

This essay is a continuation of a prior study about the role played out by the Neo-avant-garde since the nineteen sixties to the present. In this particular case, the focus is much more on the pioneering female artists of Body Art and its legacy today. The investigation aspires to discover the origins of these artistic phenomena from a multidisciplinary point of view; so as to be able to recognize the complexity behind these expressions of contemporary art. The essay proposes, as well, to uncover the conceptual, intellectual and social relations between the neo-avant-gards of Europe and the United States of North America; therefore, incorporating a more personal dimension among these expressions of a new type of aesthetic.

Keywords : Origin; Performance; Archetype; Feminism; Body Art.
