Aproximación teórico-metodológica a prácticas estéticas outsiders: discurso curatorial

Abstract

In spite of the diversity of aesthetic expressions accepted in the contemporary context, works done outside of the formal art world remain isolated by paradigms that reduce them to therapeutic activities or just social interventions. Here, the need is to understand outsider aesthetic expressions to articulate them to the art world as a point of dialogical interaction among the art world, the public and the otherness. This research approaches this problem theoretically and develops a methodological proposal for the analysis, articulation and exhibition of these expressions. Resting on disciplinary interaction, the interpretive and transversal tools detailed as a complement for the formal analysis, unveil the function of signs on the creation contexts with the intention to discover interstices that could contribute to their articulation. As exhibition proposal several considerations are presented in order to facilitate the construction of devices for the sensitization and activation of the Multitude with the aim of enabling the art world to permeate to and from others. This permeation, then, can generate spaces of visibility, dialogue and reflection that permanently reconstruct meanings among themselves and generate experiences with a political potential that subverts the social dystopias of contemporaneity.
