Collector or archivist? Juan Carlos Romero, between whim and history
In the following pages, we look into two aspects of conservation in the work of Juan Carlos Romero, visual artist from Buenos Aires (1931-2017). On the one hand, we reflect on his interest in collecting and, on the other hand, we consider his archival commitment. Both tasks are part of a horizon for...

Juan Carlos Romero, entre el capricho y la historia Paula La Rocca collector archive Argentinian visual poetry signboard contemporary art coleccionismo archivo poesía visual argentina cartel arte contemporáneo In the following pages, we look into two aspects of conservation in the work of Juan Carlos Romero, visual artist from Buenos Aires (1931-2017). On the one hand, we reflect on his interest in collecting and, on the other hand, we consider his archival commitment. Both tasks are part of a horizon for the imagination of history, since, as we will try to show, they propose an aesthetic matrix focusing on the minor aspects of some collective episodes. For Romero, history is the narrative of life in a given time through its materials. This article deals with the process of moving from his collection to the archive. We will then analyze the internal fictions that bind together the documents, the ways of acquiring the pieces, and their documentary direction. In this sense, we come to the conclusion that the collection pieces are waiting for new dispositions to give sense to the present. En las próximas páginas indagamos dos aspectos de la conservación en el acervo de Juan Carlos Romero, artista visual nacido en Buenos Aires (1931-2017). Por un lado, reflexionamos sobre su interés coleccionista y por otro, sobre su compromiso archivístico. Ambas tareas integran un horizonte de imaginación de la historia, pues como intentaremos demostrar, proponen una matriz estética centrada en el carácter menor de ciertos episodios colectivos. La historia en Romero antes que un relato cronológico es más bien la narración de la vida de una época a partir de sus materiales. Este artículo trabaja el pasaje de su colección al archivo. Analizaremos las ficciones internas que aglutinan los documentos, las modalidades de adquisición de las piezas y su dirección documental. En este sentido, concluimos, las piezas de la colección aguardan nuevos ordenamientos para dotar de sentido al presente.
