CASA ALBERTO HEREDIA ANNOUNCES ITS NEW 2025–2026 RESIDENTS

The national open call for the Casa Alberto Heredia Residency Program, now in its second edition and continuing to consolidate itself as a key platform for artistic production, training, and research, brought together an outstanding range of proposals from different regions across the country.

The selected residents are:

Gabriel Alarcón (San Salvador de Jujuy)
Sediments and Contaminations
Project description: “I propose dialogues and deviations with Heredia’s work: provoking contamination and the mixing of objects collected in the urban environments of Jujuy and Buenos Aires.”

María Verónica Basile (Córdoba)
Modern Women in the IKA Salons and the American Art Biennials
Project description: “This project offers an expanded and decentered rereading of the contributions of women to the process of cultural and artistic modernization, through a review of the IKA biennials (1962–1966) and an exploration of the Museo Moderno’s collections.”

Guadalupe Garione (Falda de Carmen, Córdoba)
Machine for Making Things: The Curatorship of El Periférico de Objetos as Agency
Project description: “I will analyze the curatorial and creative process of Máquina Teatro: El Periférico de Objetos (1990–2009) through Jane Bennett’s proposals in Encounters with an Art-Thing (2015) and Vibrant Matter (Caja Negra, 2022).”

Maia Gattás Vargas (Bariloche, Río Negro)
Situated Meteorologies
Project description: “In a context where modern Western science has turned air into an abstract and imperceptible entity, my artistic research project seeks to respond to this issue by inviting the creation of situated and embodied meteorologies.”

Florencia Giovannini (Mendoza)
Moderns in Dialogue: A Curatorial Exercise Between Images, Archives, and Museums
Project description: “Inspired by Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas, the project proposes the creation of a visual atlas on the transition from modernity to contemporaneity, with an exhibition planned in Mendoza.”

Gabriel Hoyos (Granadero Baigorria, Santa Fe)
The Same but Similar
Project description: “I explore the fusion of the gauchesque tradition and contemporary art, drawing inspiration from literary and visual art references.”

Gaspar Núñez (San Miguel de Tucumán)
The Parliament of Our Neighborhood
Project description: “Starting from the notion of the archive as a symbolic and material dumping ground, the project draws a connection between the residue inherent in Alberto Heredia’s work, the phantasmagoric beginnings of the Museo Moderno, and poetry as art criticism, in search of a poetic historiography of art.”

Victoria Pastrana (Amaicha del Valle, Tucumán)
The Image as Shadow
Project description: “I propose to develop an artistic-curatorial research project that questions the representation and narratives of Indigenous peoples in institutional contexts, and then opens up new perspectives on them from a community standpoint.”

Sofía Rossa (Rafaela, Santa Fe)
The Bloodless One
Project description: “A research and production project that, through drawing, addresses representations of violence in dialogue with Alberto Heredia’s work.”

Federico Juan Rubi (General Pico, La Pampa)
Diary of Dissonances
Project description: “Through the writing of a diary and the practice of drawing, I will explore the relationship between mental health and art, delving into the boundaries that separate the beginning and end of each realm—the moment when their fixed positions dissolve.”

Gisella Mailen Scotta (Córdoba)
Like a Bird of Prey
Project description: “The project draws from Alberto Heredia’s archive to develop a drawing/tapestry in which I will attempt a montage and dialogue between fragments of his repertoire.”

Analía Solomonoff (Rosario, Santa Fe)
Editing as Curatorial Practice and the Book as an Exhibition Device
Project description: “I propose to work with the Museo Moderno’s Publishing and Curatorial departments to investigate the subtle and diffuse boundary between these practices during the creative processes of exhibitions and publications.”
