Un nuevo concepto de espacio Fraenza, Fernando Destéfanis, Natalia Arte concreto Espacio Arquitectura Tomás Maldonado Concrete Art Space Architecture Tomás Maldonado This article is intended to understand the meaning and transformation of the category of “space” within the framework of the novel coarticulation between visual arts and architecture proposed by concrete art from the River Plate in its earliest stage. For this purpose, we study some key texts, by Tomás Maldonado and a conference by Ernesto N. Rogers, on which this movement is founded, and its new concept of space is formulated, which is not –without more– summarized in the earliest functionalist premises. These authors, both artists and designers, observe and reflect on a significant change in the way of defining, understanding and experiencing the spatiality of the new painting, sculpture and architecture, a change that concerns and modifies, in the midst of a revolutionary critique, the principle of “art as representation of nature” and the traditional connection between visual arts and architecture. The reading and discussion of these texts, in addition to forcing a redefinition of what concrete art is and what is its proposal to reformulate the category of “space”, provides the necessary elements to renew the discussion on the relationship between form and function, in the hiatus that separates and –at the same time– connects the visual arts with architecture. Este artículo está destinado a comprender el sentido y la transformación de la categoría de “espacio” en el marco de la novedosa coarticulación entre artes visuales y arquitectura que propone el arte concreto rioplatense en su etapa más temprana. Con este propósito, estudiamos algunos textos claves de Tomás Maldonado y una conferencia de Ernesto N. Rogers, en los que se funda dicho movimiento y se formula su nuevo concepto de “espacio”, que no queda –sin más– resumido en las premisas funcionalistas más tempranas. Estos autores, ambos artistas y diseñadores, observan y reflexionan sobre un cambio significativo en el modo de definir, entender y experimentar la espacialidad propia de las nuevas pintura, escultura y arquitectura, cambio que atañe y modifica, en medio de una crítica revolucionaria el principio de “arte como representación de la naturaleza” y la conexión tradicional entre las artes visuales y la arquitectura. La lectura y discusión de estos textos, además de obligar a una redefinición de lo que es el arte concreto y cuál es su propuesta de reformulación de la categoría de “espacio”, proporciona los elementos necesarios para renovar la discusión sobre la relación entre forma y función, en el hiato que separa y –a la vez– conecta las artes visuales con la arquitectura.
