Paula Klein, « Edgardo Antonio Vigo, from Biopsies to señalamientos : the artist as an archivist of everyday life », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.d8a416...
The notions of the archive and of documentation occupy a central role in the multiple stages of production, dissemination and conservation of the work of the Argentinian artist Edgardo Antonio Vigo. Such consideration of the conservation and the posterity of the artist's work contrasts with the forms that the work itself utilizes: collective and anonymous performances, fleeting installations, "instructions" for how to see everyday urban space with new perspective, to name only a few. This study aims to highlight Vigo's commitment to what we will call an "art project", in which the techniques of documentation, recording and the construction of a personal archive play a major role.
