The text addresses fundamental reflections on the nature of collaboration in art processes with artists and non-artists. For this to occur, specific conditions are necessary, based on the diversity and difference between the parties involved and admitting that there is always a relationship of mutual interest. The author discusses how the know-how of art undergoes changes and needs to review some of its ways of operating, both in relation to poetic creation and in the result of this action (transcending the mere production of objects). These are processes that tension the very status and visibility of the work of art, providing practices that may not even fit in what we conventionally call “art|”. In this sense, the author seeks to think which skills, aptitudes and perceptual habitus the artists can contribute to collaborative proposals. How to make the artistic know-how available to a collective project, without giving up your own autonomy, to find a way to compose complementary skills (a concept called crossing of competences). The author also reports on a project of continuous collaboration between artists and social movements in Argentina.
