This article investigates possible relations between the notions of archive and the contents of some works of art in order to investigate the theoretical possibilities of a conceptual approximation between Foucault's thought, the works of art - which, in this approach, align themselves to what we will call artistic archives - and some discursive practices. The research is eminently theoretical, with literature review, and its conceptual operators were Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and Nicolas Bourriaud. The reflection discusses approximations and distinctions about some African artifacts, archives of non-European art that have been plucked from their sites-origin and transposed to distinct contexts. The attempt to encompass and bring foreign cultural autos into European visual syntaxes has highlighted the formalist and exotic approaches conventionalized from the appropriation and exchange of African lives and knowledges. Distinct African artifacts when decontextualized from their symbolic function contribute to a conceptual dispute present in the discursivities and art devices discussed in this research.
