Notes related to Argentina

The event will bring together, for the first time, 24 art galleries and projects from different cities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico; it will take place on April 3, 4, 5, and 6 at Distrito Capitalinas, in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.

The exhibition I Am Godzilla at Moderna Museet Malmö is the Argentinan artist's first in Sweden, showcasing over 350 works, both new and older, many of which are being presented for the very first time.

Textile artist Martha Le Parc passed away in Paris at the age of 88, surrounded by her children and her first husband, the iconic kinetic artist Julio Le Parc. Despite having been separated for decades, they spent their final days together at the American Hospital in the French capital after battling a severe lung infection.

The Casa Nacional del Bicentenario has inaugurated Una Casa. La Casa. Lo doméstico deviene territorios (A House. The House. The Domestic Becomes Territories). This is the first public exhibition of works from the collection of Abel Guaglianone and Joaquín Rodríguez.

The Albarrán Bourdais gallery, at its Madrid venue, is hosting the exhibition En movimiento, by Julio Le Parc (Mendoza, Argentina, 1928). With a celebratory tone, as this is the first solo exhibition dedicated to the Argentine artist in Spain in 30 years, the show explores a fundamental part of the work of this master of kinetic and op-art and does so with a selection of several pieces that illustrate key periods. Without being a retrospective, there is something of that essence in the way the tour is presented, which proposes, through connected groups, an analysis of the connection between the past and the present.

One hundred years after his birth, the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) celebrates the career of the Argentine experimental artist, sculptor, poet and theorist.

La nevera en la sala (The Fridge in the Living Room) is the arrangement through which Leandro Erlich (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1973) reinterprets his vision of perception through architecture and everyday life at Prats Nogueras Blanchard. A recurring theme in this Argentine artist’s work, the pieces exhibited at the gallery’s Madrid headquarters do not belong to a new production but rather mark the first public presentation of a series of works that engage with realism and illusion, complemented by their location and functionality within the space.

The Museo La Neomudéjar presents No hay más ciego que el que no quiere ver (No one is more blind than the one who refuses to see), a solo exhibition by Marisa Caichiolo (Santa Fe, Argentina, 1974). In this project, the artist explores and materializes pain and absence, primarily through embroidery. Drawing from her personal experiences, Caichiolo constructs narratives of resistance and instrumental memory to confront traumatic episodes—many of them rooted in forced disappearances.

Observing through George Friedmann’s lens allows one to grasp the power of photography and the charm of artistic fusion. Eso que llaman amor (That Which They Call Love) highlights the beauty of what is carefully constructed yet retains the fragility of the unexpected.

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía has announced the acquisitions made during the ARCO fair, through which both the institution and the Ministry of Culture expand the museum’s collections. Among the artists whose work is now part of the Madrid-based institution are Argentine artist Marta Minujín and Colombian artists Juan Pablo Echeverri and Luz Lizarazo—three figures with different career trajectories who bring a distinct Latin American perspective to a list of acquisitions largely focused on Spanish artists.

The fair has officially announced the opening of applications for exhibiting galleries interested in participating in this edition. The application deadline is May 15, 2025.

The Argentine artist has introduced the Julio Le Parc Virtual Labyrinthus Museum, an enveloping digital space that invites the public to explore more than 500 works, including previously unseen pieces created especially for this platform.

Within the walls of the Museum of Modern Art, dreams, stories, and ideas brought by Ofrenda still linger. Yet, even more present are the thoughts left suspended in the air by the audience.

The institution commemorates six decades of trajectory reaffirming its commitment to Argentine artistic production and the continuous development of its scene. To kick off the great year, it presents Estudio para la restauración de un perfil (Study for the Restoration of a Profile) by Ana Gallardo and Alquimia para tiempos turbios (Alchemy for Turbulent Times) by Marina De Caro.

Madrid-based Maisterravalbuena proposes a vindication of the work of Sarah Grilo (Buenos Aires, Argentina,1917 - Madrid, Spain, 2007) through Soluciones para pensar, the second exhibition on this artist at the gallery. With a didactic and rediscovery vocation, the exhibition gathers a selection of paintings in different formats made between the 1960s and 1990s, many of them unpublished to the public. This work of selection and direct work of the gallery with the archive and the legacy of the Argentinean artist becomes fundamental in the structuring of the objective of creating opportunities for a greater knowledge of Grilo's work.

The annual program, presented by Victoria Noorthoorn, director of the Modern Museum, consists of ten exhibitions dedicated to showcasing the powerful dialogue between visual arts and theater in Argentina, from the 1960s to the present.

Contemporary art has become a testing ground where the boundaries between disciplines dissolve, giving way to hybrid experiences. In this shifting landscape, artist Cristian Segura introduces an unexpected provocation: an ice cream that is not only tasted but also contemplated.

Romero (b. 1964, Spain); through sound, sculpture, performance, drawing, and painting, the show unravels and exposes the contradictions and ambiguities of colonial legacies.

Museo Casa de la Moneda, in Madrid, celebrates in an exhibition the career of Liliana Porter (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1941) through several conceptual key points of it, designing a necessary route to cover, in a succinct but very representative way, one of the most relevant productions of the last decades of conceptual art.

The Departamento 112 gallery -located in Martinez, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina- began by occupying an apartment, then became a garage and finally settled in a disused space that, converted into a hall, provides a view over the entire block.

Contemplando es como fuimos cambiando (Contemplating is how we changed) is the exhibition, the first one in Spain promoted by an institution, that the CICC Tabakalera in San Sebastian is dedicating to Gabriel Chaile (San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, 1985), one of the most prominent names in contemporary Latin American sculpture. This proposal is intended to take an extensive look at his work, from his beginnings to his latest works produced in Lisbon, and which is recognizable by his monumental adobe, clay and metal pieces that reflect the morphology of the pre-Columbian ceramics of his native region.
