Abstract
The article presents an itinerary through the Contemporary Basque Art in order to analyze to what extent the visual arts have operated in the Basque social and political context, as technologies of identity, that is, how identity has been produced by certain artistic artifacts. However, it was not until recently, with the advent of the post-avant-garde movement and its assimilation by Basque artists, that these processes of identity construction through art became reflexively part of the repertoire of the artists themselves. The text establishes the dichotomy art-work/installation to asses this jump in the conception both of art and identity (and their mutual relationships): the passage from a modern art based on the production of art-works whose function is to essentially represent or reflect a "way of being", towards a post-modern art that makes visible the working-process through which something "happens to be" as a result of the mobilization of certain deconstructive artistic resources.
