Da crítica de arte militante a criticidade curatorial: um olhar sobre o discurso crítico paulista

Abstract

This research deals with the changes that occurred throughout the development of Brazilian art criticism up to the present day, through a delimited analysis of the critical productions that were carried out in the city of São Paulo in the last decades. The hypothesis presented is that the contemporary curatorial practices, as well as the approach with new theoretical referential, made possible the reconfiguration of the critical text, pointing to a curatorial criticity, to the detriment of the art critic's authority. To do so, an investigation was adopted that started from case studies that provided conceptual subsidies for a discussion about critical thinking
