Sinopsis

Arte (in)útil reflexiona en torno a la idea de artista emergente e institución cultural como ente legitimador. El contenido de este marco solo es la punta del iceberg sobre la mediatización cultural entre arte, artista e institución, pero sirve para entender cómo se inicia el artista en un circuito y qué mecanismos se utilizan para absorberlo. Así es cómo se aleja el arte de ser una herramienta política crítica de pensamiento, y se convierte en producción y, por tanto, en un producto más del contexto posfordista.

A partir del cambio de paradigma sobre la idea de exposición con el objetivo de dar visibilidad a obras —una visibilidad necesaria para que lleguen a ser arte—, Daniel Gasol se pregunta si el artista se adapta a la producción institucional que se entiende como arte. El autor también valora si, por el contrario, es la exposición institucional la que dota al trabajo de una importancia hipotética, con la consecuencia indirecta de generar legítimamente creaciones colindantes de semejanza formal y conceptual.

Gasol explora la existencia de diversos tipos de creación o contextos que proyectan qué debe ser arte, así como sobre qué consideramos arte emergente o obra expositiva. También cuestiona las instituciones adecuadas para exhibir producciones artísticas, y cómo el sistema del capital y laboral afecta a la creación y la exposición de arte.
