Abstract

The notion of project, highly questioned from the so-called “dead of the subject” due its inevitable identification with it appears as an index of primary importance when comes to rethink it from the current conditions of contemporary art, above all from the way in which the logic of the archive has achieved to hegemonise a significant group of its practices. The question regarding “archive project” would come to put in play a supposed double exhaustion: on the project, as a fundamental ethic-political resource of modernity; and on art, while staging a reflection by the resources of representations and signification of codes that attempt to organise what we call “reality.” To archive the liberation promise, far to be conceived as an act of detachment or neglect, constitutes a necessary action to protect its irreducibility to merely possible conditions.
