Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las nociones de muerte, duelo y fantasmagoría presentes en la filosofía política y en los estudios de género a la luz de la producción artística del artista correntino Juan Ramón Gutierrez. En el territorio de las prácticas artísticas del nordeste argentino, las conceptualizaciones en torno a la muerte se hacen presentes a través de un amplio repertorio de prácticas artísticas donde tienen lugar ejercicios de memoria situada. Esta temática fue abordada por Juan Ramón Gutierrez con notable insistencia desde distintas materialidades, soportes y apuestas estéticas, especialmente en las instalaciones que desarrolló en los años noventa cuando, conmovido por la pandemia del sida, produjo una serie de altares y dibujos que hacen del trabajo de duelo un modo de justicia poética. En este artículo se analizarán dos de sus instalaciones realizadas en los años noventa y exhibidas en el Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) en San Francisco, tituladas Altar Dedicado a Los Muertos de Sida (1994) y Cuartos Para los Muertos (1999).

This article aims to analyze the notions of death, mourning and phantasmagoria present in political philosophy and gender studies in the light of the artistic production of the artist Juan Ramón Gutierrez from Corrientes, Argentina. In the territory of the artistic practices of northeastern Argentina, conceptualizations around death are present through a wide repertory of artistic works where acts of memory, remembrance and inheritance acquire fundamental relevance. These themes were approached by Juan Ramón Gutierrez with remarkable insistence from different materialities, supports and aesthetics choices, especially in the installations he developed in the nineties when, moved by the AIDS pandemic, he produced a series of altars and drawings that make the work of mourning a form of poetic justice. Two of his installations made in the 1990s in the United States will be analyzed, particularly his installations Altar Dedicado a Los Muertos de Sida (1994) and Cuartos Para los Muertos (1999) presented at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) in San Francisco. |
