Abstract(s)
A instalação de arte pública em território nacional revela um peculiar modus-operandis do
poder político-administrativo enquanto sintoma lacunar da distribuição de poder relacional, dando assim
azo a um certo grau de estetização da política, designadamente quando se trata da programação cultural
do espaço público e dos seus efeitos na construção social do consenso. É de facto nesta dimensão crítica e
política do espaço público, na esteira de Jürgen Habermas e Rosalyn Deutsche, que importa pois
perguntar de que modo a “Arte Pública” tem sido instrumentalizada? De que modo o poder executivo
local, acumulado fortemente na figura do Presidente da Câmara, pode mobilizar o sensus comunis em
prol do reforço da legitimidade e do poder ? Ou, dito de forma mais genérica, como é que a mobilização
estética da ação política reforça o consenso social e diminui a intensidade democrática?
ABSTRACT: The public art installation in the Portugal reveals a peculiar modus operandi of the politicaladministrative power while symptom of a gap in the relational power distribution, thus giving rise to a certain degree of aestheticization of politics, especially when it comes to the cultural programming of public space and its effects on building social consensus. It is in fact this critical and political dimension of public space in the wake of Jürgen Habermas and Rosalyn Deutsche, because what matters to ask is how the "Public Art" has been manipulated? How the local executive authorities, strongly accumulated in the figure of the Mayor, can mobilize the sensus communis towards strengthening the legitimacy and political power? Or to put it more generally, how the aesthetic mobilization of the political action reinforces the consensus and decreases the democratic intensity?
