PEREZ PEZOA, Diego. Angels and Prophets Building Profane Scenes: Brief Reflection on Art, Religion and Postcriticism. Índex [online]. 2025, n.19, pp.81-99. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v10i19.600.

The following text aims to offer a philosophical and aesthetic reflection on the current post-critical nature of art, through a precise analysis between art and religion. It is about highlighting the indissoluble links that exist between creation and salvation as a general mode of existence of the contemporary art system, along with all its components, agents and figures. In this way, the general system of art is historically reconfigured based on its metaphysical figures that attribute to it creative capacities, but, at the same time, foundations of salvation. The figure of the critic and the curator are transfigured into agents of an art system that seeks in the artist, the angel of creation, to capture its metaphysical forces of exhibition and dissemination. Finally, this reflection seeks to visualize that all aesthetic politics is, almost always, the creation of an atmosphere of meaning, where the artist, the viewer and the curator or critic are intertwined in a cosmos originating from art.
