Based on the avant-garde motto that ¿art should change life¿, various art practices have dotted the map of modern art like the underside of a brand of formalism complacent with the dominant ideology. Since the seventies, there was a rethinking of the artistic engagement that took on an active defence of various issues, as well as a critique of the media, city planning and the mechanisms of democratic participation. José María Parreño overviews the key episodes in this process, analysing the role that art plays in our society and questioning the possible meaning of artistic engagement today.
