Abstract

The present work is an approach to the art field in Mendoza during the 70s. The analysis perspective has three complementary dimensions: the censorship as a determinative factor of artistic circulation, the rise of resistance dynamics between artists, and the discussions than they held concerning their practice. The institutional censorship of the military dictatorship forced some artists to resist through an alternative circuit, different from those Institutions they represented. Meanwhile, in context of the Cold War, the Cuban Revolution and the socialistic government of Salvador Allende, many artists became left-wing activists.Thus a new focal point in the discussion emerged, which was related with the interest to define the role of art in a violent social context of military dictatorship.
