Abstract

The revisionist and/or historicist reflection on memory shapes the ideology of many contemporary artistic practices whose formalization has found in the “archival art” a creative strategy in response to these conceptual purposes in order to build and underpin a present identity.

From these coordinates different creative procedures that adopt the archival form/aesthetic are analyzed, emphasizing in the study of their consubstantial disciplinary and medial syncretism.
