In the Order of the Stones

The Argentina Pavilion presents In the Order of the Stones, a solo show by artist Florence Levy that challenges the status of ‘progress’ and poetically narrates the impending breakdown of the capitalist system.

Hope the Doors Collapse

Ojalá se derrumben las puertas [Hope the Doors Collapse], Argentina’s participation in the 60 Mostra Internazionale d’Arte – La Biennale di Venezia and presenting the work of Luciana Lamothe, inhabits the (visible and invisible) borders that separate the human from the non-human, the natural from the constructed, the known from the unknown.

Hope the Doors Collapse. The book

Hope the Doors Collapse, the book, accompanied Luciana Lamothe’s exhibition at the Argentine Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale.

The Habitat

This book is a kind of notebook, a record of the long process that led Untitled from paper to the large installation that the artist presented at the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires in October 2017.

Ferales

Ferales explores the ecological worlds that emerge when non-human entities become entangled with human infrastructure projects, when the Western-Kantian subject becomes a multirelational and coupled subject that blurs the differences between inside and outside.

Local Futurisms and Extractive Pasts

Local Futurisms and Extractive Pasts explores some of the works presented at THIS TOO, IS A MAP, the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale, and the way futurisms recover non-Western histories, materials and epistemologies, cosmologies and ontologies.

THIS TOO, IS A MAP

THIS TOO, IS A MAP, the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale, explored the aesthetics of non-territorial cartographies through the works of 40 artists across 6 venues in the city of Seoul.

There was a word inside a stone

In this essay, stones, minerals and language travel together through their colonial and political histories. Dourron shows how the power structures of linguistics emerged in parallel with mineral classification, and how Western frameworks for both haunt current linguistic and rock relations.

Bogus Explanations

Rather than an explanation, this text is an attempt to draw nearer to Joaquin’s paintings, a further insistence on getting to know them beyond what they wish to be known or, probably, beyond the limits of our own capabilities to know them.

Umbra

From images that intertwine astronomical events and their optical manifestations with the perception of shapes and color, Guido Yannitto builds his own space for pictorial exploration. Thus, Umbra produces an intuitive approach between cosmic phenomena, their telluric counterparts and some expanded ideas about painting.
