ROLF ART PORTRAITS THE LEGACY OF MODERNITY IN "INVISIBLE CITY"
This group show at the Buenos Aires gallery offers a multiple panorama of the urban experience. With the city as the protagonist, the works evoke the different relationships that can be found between the individual and its built environment.
"Of the countless ways in which photography has portrayed the city (...) what this exhibition chooses is, precisely, to offer a synthetic model of how the history of photography allows us to observe the city as a memorial reservoir of the modernity experience.” describes the exhibition’s curator Marcelo Expósito. “This exhibition is a reduced-scale model of how the representations of the modern city, its postmodern permutations and its current terminal crisis constitute a palimpsest of contradictory memories of modernity."
Gathering historical modern photographers in dialogue with prominent contemporary artists, the show includes a multiplicity of expressions and supports including photography, video, video-installation, film installation, object-installation, sculpture and performance.
The group show is integrated by Grete Stern (1904 - 1999), Horacio Coppola (1906 - 2012), Humberto Rivas (1937 - 2009), Marcelo Brodsky (b.1954), Narcisa Hirsch (b.1928), RES (b.1957), Roberto Riverti (b.1954), Carlos Trilnick (1957 - 2020), Juan Travnik (b.1950), Jose Alejandro Restrepo (b. 1959), Facundo de Zuviría (b.1954), Marcos López (b. 1958), Santiago Porter (b.1971), Andrés Denegri (b.1975), Francisco Medail (b.1991), Andres Duran(b.1974), Martín Carrizo (b.1983), Sofía Durrieu (b.1980) & Luciana Lamothe (b.1975); Thanks to the collaboration of Ruth Benzacar, Jorge Mara - La Ruche, Herlitzka + Faria and Pasto galleries.

MoMA PRESENTS FOTOCLUBISMO: BRAZILIAN MODERNIST PHOTOGRAPHY FROM 1946 TO 1964
The exhibition explores the unforgettable creative achievements of São Paulo’s Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB), a group of amateur photographers whose ambitious and innovative works embodied the abundant originality of postwar Brazilian culture. Although their work was heralded around the world in the 1950s, it subsequently faded from view. This is the first museum exhibition to present this fascinating moment in photography’s history to audiences outside of Brazil.
RONALD MORÁN OR THE DARK FABRIC OF LOCKDOWN
Artists who have that ability to approach and distance themselves from reality have always caught my attention. Ronald Morán, (Salvadoran) is one of them; in this case, he offers us a double distancing: the distancing of a mimetic tradition that recycles reality with repeated images to the point of vertigo and, on the other hand, the distancing forced by the Covid 19 pandemic.
