El arte entre la tecnología y la rebelión

by Luis Felipe Noé

El arte entre la tecnología y la rebelión: En torno al '68, nos infunde también el compromiso de resituar y activar el legado estratégico de las vanguardias locales en el contexto Latinoamericano, en su modo de operar frente a la institucionalidad hegemónica del arte contemporáneo. Su lectura nos reconduce a actuar a través de prácticas que vuelvan a estrechar lazos lo colectivo, lo social y participativo, sensible e interdiciplinario porque, en definitiva, cada generación vuelve a soñar a lo anterior, y como dice Yuyo Noé: "arte y pueblo es una misma cosa, pero bajo una misma condición: que tenga el pueblo el poder". Semejante interpelación solo es posible si vuelve a inscribirse el arte como imaginación y creación poética-social en la disputa por el sentido del lenguaje.

About the author

Luis Felipe Noé was an Argentine artist, writer, intellectual, and teacher. He was known in his home country as Yuyo. In 1961 he formed Otra Figuración (another figuration) with three other Argentine artists. Their eponymous exhibition and subsequent work greatly influenced the Neofiguration (Neo-figuration, New figuration) movement. After the group disbanded, Noé relocated to New York City where he created and exhibited assemblages which stretched the boundaries of the canvas.
In 1965 he published his groundbreaking theoretical work, Antiestética. He then took a ten-year hiatus from painting and upon return to Buenos Aires opened a bar, taught, wrote and created installations with mirrors. A military coup coincided with his painting comeback, and in 1976 Noé migrated to Paris where he continued to experiment, both with canvas re-texturing and the drawing process. His later paintings move away from the figure and focus on elements of landscape.
Noé lived and worked in Buenos Aires, New-York and Paris. His son, Gaspar Noé, is a Franco-Argentine filmmaker. His daughter, Paula,is a painter.
