Abstract
Between 1989 and 1993, the Cultural Center Ricardo Rojas has become a distinguishable space within the artistic field in Buenos Aires. Under the direction of Jorge Gumier Maier, criteria of artist selection shows a aesthetics opposed to circulating criteria in the legitimate spaces within the field. The Rojas defines itself in a double dynamics: one, inwards, the group is formed through spontaneous affinities, by virtue of analogous elements of their habitus; two, outwards, through their own positions, and the positions of their opponents, they confront other types of hegemonic artists. Their aesthetic choices go to the subordinated zones within the culture, a hierarchical system of symbol. Other spaces, in opposition to which the Rojas defines itself, vary through the period. First, the Rojas opposes to the tradition of Argentine painting, and the hegemonic type of artist of the 80s. Second, there is an opposition between “light art” – a category that the artists of the Rojas do not create, but adopt – and the “engaged” artist. This polemic reenacts some elements of “the art by the art itself” against realism, characteristic of the end of 19th Century. Third, they confront the neo conceptualist style that circulates within the art centers and locally. This polemic actualizes the problematic relationship between art centers and peripheries, in the context of curators’ paradigms influenced by multiculturalism and globalization. They associate all these aspects to a “professional” type of artist, and claim for themselves aspects related to a “vocational” type.
Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical approach and some of his commentators allow us to formulate the following questions: which elements in the intellectual habitus of Gumier Maier predispose him to adopt a heretical position when entering the artistic field? Which elements in the artists’ individual trajectories encourage them to elaborate a similar aesthetics, and coincide with Gumier Maier? Which dynamics of differentiation of the Rojas help strategies that redefine the rules within the field? What criteria of division are set within this field? What values are opposed and what do these struggles tell us about the transformations of the field? These questions are considered within the frame of analysis of the process of emergence and consolidation of the Rojas within the art field, between June 1989 and May 1993. The methodological strategy includes in-depth interviews, analysis of exhibitions as well as analysis of art works and texts.
