Drawing a parallel with the rich participation of the individual as both body and voice, now active on the streets of Brazil, this paper explores the changes in process in contemporary artistic practice and identifies an urgent ethical clamor for visual art. From the vantage point of emerging ethical-esthetic practices, the street protests can be seen as symptoms of an exhausted social order. Increasingly we are seeing a body of work emerge that is tired of art ruled by the production of objects and favors the development of a visual aesthetic that gives place to the meaning of the local and the relational artistic event tied to the multi-sensorial activation of the body where the meaning of presence and the presence of meanings are interwoven. The paper examines the meaning of presence and the temporality of body and voice as forms of therapeutic and microgeographic poetic resistance that speak to the emergence of new ethicalaesthetic caring practices for the public meaning of art in institutions, museums and biennials.
