摘要：Contemporary artistic production is seeking new challenges. The political commitment of a segment of contemporary art is stealing the limelight,which raises the question of whether architecture,of all the arts is still the most socially conditioned. A considerable part of contemporary art production needs verbal support,a verbal analysis of the visible,a commentary leading to a common agreement that what we are faced with is a work of art. We can call a phenomenon an artistic artifact only when a certain object or action has simultaneously or in advance been defined as such. It often involves works of art which may become such only on certain conditions, which also includes referring to existing creations. Here,dialogue and an artwork's dependence on verbal support come to the fore.
