Author Description

This book is the outcome of a research work into the way that conceptual artist Edgardo Antonio Vigo (1928-1997) aimed to question the structures and traditional manifestations of art and the dominant forms of culture through works and texts that tended to destabilize the roles of the author, spectator and the artwork, as well as it is involvement in different ways in the political events of the era. Bugnone discusses the artistic actions in public space that Vigo called signs, the use and appropriation of the speech and material aspects of the judicial-administrative and the edition of the assembled magazine "Hexágono '71". Vigo was an pioneer post-modern artist, working in sculpture, collage, combine, installation, and conceptual art.
