Abstract:
This publication tries to give answers to three set of questions:
What are the social conditions that make possible, at present, the emerging
and the development of young people’s ‘artistic vocations’? How do they
construct their identities and lifestyles as artists, within the diversified
way of life that characterize juvenile population? How do they look to their
artistic activity, considering the actual possibilities for creation and
reception in contemporary art?
Considering the recurrence of the student figure in the young art circle,
what structural conditions could configure the centrality of school
institutions in artistic career’s definition? How do those conditions
reflect themselves in young artists' aspirant contexts of living? How do
they appropriate the Portuguese artistic learning system, in its several
stages and segments? What weaknesses and valences do they identify in that
system?
Between the State - at central and local level - and the artistic field, how
is their relationship structured? What interest games make move together
politic and artistic worlds in the social space of young art? What kind of
articulations are there between the 'young art world' and the other art
worlds? How do the participation in he young art world events influence the
future artistic trajectories
