"Art About Art

Whereas most contemporary artists, specially young ones turn their attention away from painting, specially after the break down of Greenberg theories in the late 70`s. Young artists like Andres Cuervo were constantly seeking new paths, a new form of representation one that could play in the gap between art and life, between painting and performance.
Andres Cuervo sets different priorities. His laconic works of exemplary stringency are not only limited to Perfmance Art. Whereas his works combined the hermetic approach of Duchamp with the political cross reference of Rauschenberg.
In 2007, Andres Cuervo pointed out that the Museums, that they were, in this sense, constrained to it´s own status. His intervention in the international collection of the Museum of Art Banco de la Republica de Colombia. Influenced by artist as Marcel Broodthaers and works such as Erased De Kooning drawing by Robert Rauschenberg, contributed to the history of art, by opening up a new dimension in aesthetic consciousness.”What is art?” “What makes it art?” “Who is an artist?” “Why objects inside a museum become art?” Cuervo as Duchamp answered these questions – not as a theoretician, but by means of tongue-in-cheek demonstration.
Strictly speaking there is no such thing as “timeless” art. Hence, the objects considered art in the past, could not be art now days. Traditional painting is nothing but a mere display of technical skill in today`s poststructuralist oeuvre. However both types of art coexist within a timeless space, in which they both are considered art with capital A, in a sense the museum guarantees certain things about the objects it encloses. On 9 April 2007 Cuervo demostrated what John Berger called the “Invisible frame of the institution” by introducing an object like a realist, figurative drawing inside a museum and haging it, he uses the museum attached value to it`s own work. Cuervo used the exact same frame and identification used for the other works inside the museum. -as in Duchamp`s Mona Lisa with a moustache – the breaking down of the barrier between painting and object. Admittedly the reference is quite indirect, consisting only in a figurative drawing of a woman, naked giving her back on us, inside a wood frame and hanged beside an id card. In this sense the object becomes art and the drawing becomes an object. It is neither an action per se, nor do Cuervo´s gesture result in an installation, formally speaking, the gesture of the artist takes on a new aesthetic identity: the point of the work is in fact the interaction between, sense and value. The work is intrinsically bound up on the idea of value, as it is exposed by Broodthaers, gold bar stamped with an eagle, the gesture becomes art as long as the transaction is made. Or in Cuervo´s case, the reason why people perceive this drawing hanged on the museum wall as part of the museum collection, it is the same reason why they see it with a different look, this revindicates the drawing as being a work of art, a part of the history of art. Therefore it justifies it´s place inside the museum and this justifies the very act of standing a meter lenght from the drawing and perceiving it as valuable, as Art. Cuervo`s much cited claim that his work plays in the gap between life and art includes a distinct formal awareness. Such terms as Performance Art hardly do justice to Cuervo´s probing questions." … Read More
