FELDMAN, Jonathan. Contemporary art, arteBA and the aura effe ct. Índex [online]. 2018, n.5, pp.162-169. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i04.95.

The more extended way of circulation of art in current days is the production of exhibitions and cultural events. The art scene develops around the conformation of views about the most diverse works and themes and, at the same time, within the orbit of a market that’s more transnational and dislocated every day. It’s a double movement that allows both the proliferation and hybridization of the most diverse forms of production, and the introduction of these products within the mercantile logic.

This article will analyze the circulation of Argentinean art during the 26th edition of the art market, arteBA (2017), and will focus on the complexities of the contemporary local art scene. It will question the reach of Walter Benjamin’s definitions about technical reproducibility to affirm the existence of what will be called aura effect in the production and circulation modes of contemporary art.

Keywords : contemporary; arteBA; aura effect; market; circulation.
