TEXO FOUNDATION PRESENTS THREE EXHIBITIONS FOR PINTA Sud ASU
The Texo Foundation for Contemporary Art presents, during the second edition of Pinta Sud ASU, a cycle of activities and exhibitions with the objective of promoting contemporary art in Paraguay.
The Texo Foundation is a non-profit entity, with the vision of showing Paraguay what makes art unique in the world and showing the world what makes Paraguayan art unique.
It has an artistic heritage that is growing steadily and systematically, through its own contributions and donations, and at the same time manages the Nasta Collection of modern and contemporary Paraguayan art.
Fundación Texo is one of the locations of the second edition of Pinta Sud ASU, presenting the exhibitions Mac Entyre, Sueño de la Razón (Dream of Reason) and Project Room.
Mac Entyre.
Curated by Fredi Casco and assembled by Elefante Mental. With 16 prints, it seeks to stimulate appreciation and dialogue on contemporary art through a selection of works by Mac Entyre, who during his lifetime was an outstanding Argentine artist who, through the use of curves and precise lines, created compositions that generate shapes and capture light in a unique way.
Sueño de la razón.
The exhibition is a valorization of South American photography based on a collective editorial project that encompasses different photographic conceptions of the region, from historical research to the development of contemporary languages. Sueño de la Razón focuses on the possibility of building an identity through the recognition, analysis and research of local South American production.
Project Room.
Project Room closes the results of the Art Clinic 2021, with the artistic proposal of Nico Domínguez entitled "Sentir, Estómago, Garganta" (Feel, Stomach, Throat).This installation is the result of a deep research process that explores what is known as the electric dimension, an intersection of universes between the human and the non-human in symbiosis with the environment. Through quasi-hybridization with new media, this work presents an amalgam, a connection, a unique channel of artistic expression.
