Unión entre teoría y práctica artística a partir del repliegue del arte sobre sí mismo y del concepto de la alotropía

Abstract

This article proposes and explores a form of union between artistic theory and practice, based
on the concept of allotropy taken by Gilles Deleuze from Burroughs’s work, through which critical and creative expressions on art remove traditional boundaries and merge into a body
detached from the idea of an “organism” designed for a particular purpose, and that carries
within it the potential for multiple contingencies and experiments. At first, the text indicates
an historical context of secularization in which art and society are forced to rework their
meanings, and finally, in consideration of the loss of a solid base of reference for artistic creation, the text proposes the Artaud’s idea of the body without organs, conceptually potentialized
by Deleuze, as the sign of art in contemporary times.
