This study correlates the concepts of pain and pleasure with the advances and setbacks suffered by women socially, politically, and culturally in order to understand who are these women received into the museum.

Nous étudions l’opposition entre douleur et plaisir à partir d’œuvres de performance du Musée d’Art Contemporain de l’Université de São Paulo entre 1972 et 2021. La principale caractéristique entre les performances analysées est le lien extrême avec la limite physique. Cette étude relie les notions de douleur et de plaisir aux avancées et reculs subis par les femmes dans les sphères sociales, politiques et culturelles pour comprendre qui sont les femmes accueillies dans l’espace muséal. Nous proposons la mise en perspective de la construction esthétique des femmes dans l’histoire de l’art, en concaténant les différentes intersections pour comprendre le tissu sexuel complexe dans l’art. Neste artigo, investiga-se a oposição dor versus prazer a partir do acervo de obras de performance do Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo (MAC-USP) entre 1972 e 2021. As performances analisadas têm como principal característica a relação extrema com o limite físico, e este estudo relaciona os conceitos de dor e prazer aos avanços e retrocessos sofridos pelas mulheres nos âmbitos social, político e cultural para compreender quem são as mulheres recebidas dentro do espaço museológico. Ainda, coloca-se em perspectiva a construção estética da mulher na história da arte, concatenando as diferentes intersecções para compreender a complexa teia sexual na arte de mulheres.
