Art Showdown in Buenos Aires: A Culture Vulture's Paradise 🌍🎨
The passing of Pope Francis sent shockwaves through the city of Buenos Aires, but don't despair art lovers! This somber moment prompted a flurry of art exhibitions to pop up at various cultural institutions across town. Strap on those walking shoes because I've got a tour of must-see shows for you!
📍 Bellas Artes, Modern, Casa del Bicentenario, Decorative, Palacio Libertad, Historic, CC Recoleta, and CC Paco Urondo
First stop,bellas Artes! The Great Hall is showcasing Porter-Camnitzer: The Years of the New York Graphic Workshop (📍Museum of Fine Arts), curated by Silvia Dolinko. This exhibition features historical installations from 1969, as well as interactive pieces by Liliana Porter and Luis Camnitzer, the founders of the NYGW. You'll find iconic installations like "Shadows" and plays with sculptures on the ground and first floors of the museum.
Right next door, the Modern Museum gives us The Fourth Wall by Jorge Minño, featuring the artist's architectural photography that challenges our perception with impossible angles, dynamic geometries, and immersive compositions. On a separate note, Valentina Quintero's A Day in Life exhibition is also on display at the same venue. This rugged, raw exhibition showcases Valentina's large-scale drawings on black paper, each bursting with emotion, expression, and powerful energy.
