Abstract
La fe del espectador en la ficción trata sobre la cuestión y el análisis de la creación de ficciones en el arte contemporáneo. Concretamente me interesa tratar el tipo de obras de arte que precisan de la implicación directa del espectador para que tal obra exista: El artista propone una obra ficcional y la formula de tal manera que es el propio espectador el que activa y da sentido a la obra mediante la suspensión de su incredulidad y la aceptación de la propuesta a pesar de su evidente inverosimilitud.
Para explicar esta cuestión, analizo los procesos y las relaciones propias entre diferentes actores pertenecientes al circuito artístico diferenciando cuatro grandes bloques que se encuentran interrelacionados dentro del proceso de creencia o fe: el espectador, el artista, la obra y la institución artística. El desarrollo y explicación de cada uno de estos elementos principales, así como el proceso de evolución de la creencia del espectador en la obra, se sustenta e ilustra mediante diferentes obras de artistas contemporáneos como Michael Craig-Martin o Michelangelo Antonioni.
Este análisis da como resultado final una serie de conclusiones que esclarecen los procesos de creencia -y por lo tanto de legitimación-, y determinan el lugar que este tipo de prácticas artísticas ocupan dentro del arte contemporáneo y su importancia como propuestas que interrelacionan e implican a los diferentes agentes artísticos de manera directa.
The faith of the viewer in fiction, discusses the issue and the analysis of the creation of fictions in contemporary art. Specifically, I treat the kind of artwork that requires the direct involvement of the viewer so that such work exists: The artist presents a fictional work and formulates it such that the viewer is the one who activates and gives meaning to the work by suspending his disbelief and by accepting the proposal in spite of its evident unlikeliness. To explain this issue, I analyze the processes and the specific relationships between different actors that belong to the artistic circuit, distinguishing four large blocks that are interrelated in the process of belief or faith: the viewer, the artist, the art work and the art institution. The development and explanation of each of these main elements, as well as the process of evolution of the viewer's belief in the art work, are supported and illustrated by various works of contemporary artists like Michael Craig-Martin and Michelangelo Antonioni. The final result of this analysis ends up as a set of conclusions that clarifies the processes of belief -and therefore of legitimation-, and determines the place this kind of artistic practices occupy in contemporary art and its importance as proposals that interrelate and involve the different artistic agents directly.
