The interest in translation, from a transculturaland global perspective, has brought about newapproaches to historical artefacts in art theoryresearch, leading to an ever-increasing dissolution ofboundaries between the various fields of art history.Nevertheless, the concept of translation has beenarticulated as a hermeneutical means to understandthe complexity of contemporary works of art inwhich text and image coexist. Yet within critic theorythere has never been a concrete research work withthe purpose of identifying the status quaestionisof a long-time neglected but crucial topic: visualtranslation. This article involves critical theories andcontemporary artistic practices that use the conceptvisual translation in the process of transmission andreception of contemporary art.
