THE GOLD OF DREAMS: ANDRÉS PAREDES AT THE MACRO TOWER
Banco Macro presented El Oro de los sueños (The Gold of Dreams), the exhibition by Andrés Paredes which is part of a new artistic program within its agenda at the Corporate Tower. The program is called Macro Federal, an initiative to present artists from all the provinces of Argentina, starting with Misiones. It is curated by Patricia Rizzo.
Andrés Paredes was summoned by Banco Macro in 2018 to intervene the facilities of what would later become the workspaces of the bank's employees.
Each of the building's floors has panels specially designed and fretworked by the artist. This exhibition also provides an opportunity to connect Paredes' artistic interventions in the Tower with his current production.
That is why the artist was selected to inaugurate the Macro Federal program, an initiative that promotes and disseminates the work of artists from different provinces of Argentina. Paredes' production reveals a considerable diversity of resources and artistic operations that revolve around nature and transformation as a central axis, the rereading of the Atlantic Forest landscape where the artist was born and grew up.
The artist chooses insects that undergo great transformations such as butterflies, cicadas and dragonflies, establishing in them the great metaphor of the change to which every human being aspires. In addition, he proposes a poetic approach to a collective experience typical of the area, the condition of migrants.
