This seminar explored how costume has been used by artists since the 1970s to question social roles represented in the fashion world. It aimed to foster reflection on how contemporary art utilizes fashion phenomena to represent private and social identities.
The seminar 'Traje, identidad y sujeto en el arte contemporáneo' (Costume, identity, and subject in contemporary art) was organized in 2007 to examine the role of costume in contemporary art. It focused on how artists, starting from the 1970s, have employed attire to challenge and redefine the social roles portrayed through fashion. The program aimed to create a reflective space where different fields, including art, fashion, film, and sociology, could converge to discuss the ways in which contemporary art has leveraged fashion to depict identities in both personal and social dimensions. The series featured talks by artists and academics such as Javier Chavarría Díaz, Sagrario Aznar, Joan Morey, Pedro Moreno, and Patricia Calefato, covering topics ranging from the body as a battlefield of meaning to fashion's role in performance art and character construction.
The event took place on Wednesdays from 19:00 to 20:30 h in the auditorium. Specific ticketing or admission details for this historical event are not provided, but it was organized in collaboration with the Universidad Europea de Madrid.
