CIUDAD INFRA: MARGINALIDAD E INTEGRIDAD EN LA VANGUARDIA DEL INFRARREALISMO

Abstract

would demand a critical-historical analysis, in the light of the tradition of the concept of avant-garde. Due to its own disruptive, polyphonic and rhizomatic nature, where the urban has transformed its own work and in that city they have found their lair (“the dead end”, as Mario Santiago wrote), we propose five central axes for the conformation of this movement, and that converse closely with the elements of a series of avant-gardes, especially Latin American: 1) the city as a symbolic space for artistic experimentation; 2) the flâneur and drift; 3) polyphony, as a group architecture and production mechanism; 4) the (self-) marginalization of culture; and 5) a vital ethic, which becomes a defense of the artist's integrity.
