Fernanda Laguna y proyectos que tejen redes. Otra manera de leer lo político en el arte
Fernanda Laguna and Projects that Weave Networks. Another Way of Reading the Political in Art

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes certain artistic projects devised by the poet and plastic artist Fernanda Laguna. Among the different projects, we will focus on the Belleza y Felicidad art gallery and publishing house, the Eloísa Cartonera publishing house, and the Belleza y Felicidad Fiorito art gallery and school. All of them emerge in the context of the crisis of the late 1990s and early 2000s and share related practices that will be thought of in connection with modes of discourse, ways of life and community representations (Rancière 2014). Along these lines, our aim is to explore the notion of experimental communities (Laddaga 2006) and the deployment of ways of life that these groups and projects proposed in the context of the crisis. Starting from the notion of political art proposed by Rancière (2006) we will investigate the potentialities of the different projects and their role in the partition of the sensitive. In this sense, in addition to analyzing the aforementioned projects, we will read the links between the magazine of Belleza y Felicidad –Ceci y Fer– and the zines from feminist movements in the United States (especially Riot Grrrl) whose artistic interventions have uncovered different daily vulnerabilities.
