Abstract

A partir de dos obras pertenecientes al land art (A circle in Huesca de Richard Long) y al body art (Psyché de Gina Pane) presentamos una lectura sobre la base del concepto rizoma, extraído de Deleuze-Guattari, que nos conducirá al de horizontalización. Con ello, imbricando arte y política, incidiremos en las implicaciones radicalmente democráticas de estas propuestas artísticas. Extraeremos tres funciones que comparten ambas anti-jerarquía, inmediación y apertura. Enarbolando el concepto rizoma, tenderemos puentes entre las obras antedichas conjugando el análisis del ombligo en Gina Pane como centro y el perímetro de piedras de Richard Long como límite conectivo. El centro, símbolo de autoridad, eje vertebrador de un sistema cerrado, será diluido, esto es, criticado y destruido por el perímetro siempre abierto que convierte a toda frontera en porosa. En las conclusiones finales destacaremos la disolución del clásico-moderno paradigma sujeto-objeto y, sobre todo, la función del arte como señalización experiencial abogando por la comunicación abierta como eje de toda significación artística.

Alternate abstract:

Based on two works belonging to land art (A circle in Huesca by Richard Long) and to body art (Psyché by Gina Pane), we present a reading based on the concept of rhizome, extracted from Deleuze-Guattari, which will lead us to the concept of horizontalization. Imbricating art and politics, we will have an impact on the radically democratic implications of these artistic proposals. We will extract three functions shared by both anti-hierarchy, immediacy and openness. By raising the concept of rhizome, we will build bridges between the aforementioned works by conjugating the analysis of the Gina Pane's navel as center and Richard Long's perimeter of stones as connective boundary. The center, symbol of authority, the vertebral axis of a closed system, will be diluted, that is to say, criticized and destroyed by the always open perimeter that makes every border porous. In the final conclusions we will highlight the dissolution of the classic-modern subject-object paradigm and, above all, the function of art as an experiential signaling, advocating open communication as the axis of all artistic signification.
