Resumen
Cuando aludimos al arte ecológico o a la relación entre arte y ecología estamos refiriéndonos, en realidad, a un conjunto muy heterogéneo de actividades y hechos artísticos. Tal falta de distinción da pie a errores a la hora de atribuir ciertas características a las obras bajo este apelativo y dificulta un discurso coherente a la hora de agruparlas en publicaciones, exposiciones, etc. Además, dada la relevancia de la actual crisis ecológica, una perspectiva más próxima a las necesidades del artista resulta acuciante. Este artículo repasa las principales disidencias de los teóricos sobre este tema y apoya argumentativamente la trascendencia de estas cuestiones, a la vez que realiza un análisis crítico de las soluciones y beneficios que esta perspectiva ofrece a artistas y teóricos a la hora de abordar y legitimar una obra de arte desde un punto de vista ecológico.
Abstract
When we talk about ecological art or about the relationship between art and ecology we are actually referring to a heterogeneous set of activities and artistic facts. Such lack of distinction easily leads to errors when ascribing some features to a specific art piece under the appellative of ecological. It also makes it more difficult to group them into publications, exhibitions, etc. Moreover, given the relevance of the current ecological crisis, a newer perspective, closer to the artist’s needs is necessary. This article revises the main disagreements of the theorists about this subject, while it also makes a critical analysis about the solutions and benefits this perspective offers to artists and theorists when addressing and legitimizing a work of art from an ecological perspective.
