Estéticas del vertedero. Contagio, expansión y desborde en prácticas culturales latinoamericanas contemporáneas.

- Abstract
This essay analyses the modes for producing waste spaces in pieces of art conceived in the nineties and thereon. For this purpose, I propose an analysis from three different perspectives: the ways in which garbage dumps are represented; the tension relating to their materiality, their consumption and their spatiality; and the relation between aesthetization of garbage and “garbaging” of art. Entering into dialogue with some of the theoretical approaches on garbage, this essay points out a transition from an aesthetics of separation to one of contamination, in which a dislocation and an incontinence occur. Waste dumps have ceased to be those spaces in which garbage is put away from social and aesthetic life; they have become contagious and expansive territories.
