Considering the importance of broadening the debate about artist publications, the proposal for the second issue of Revista Estado da Arte consisted of opening space for artists and researchers to explore the complexities related to the theme in its multiple forms and approaches. With this, among spontaneous invitations and submissions, we have brought together in this edition, a significant set of texts in which we observe the plurality of theoretical and poetic investigations that tension both the art system, with its agents and institutional criticism, as well as the different production spaces and circulation of these objects.
