Notes related to Argentina

The first retrospective in Spain of Gabriela Bettini reflects on absence and the politics of forgetting through images that challenge official history.

The exhibition brings together works created ad hoc by the artist in the city. Through them, she reinterprets craft and tradition from a contemporary perspective and invites the audience to understand sound as a language that redefines our relationship with the environment.

The Kunsthaus Wiesbaden presents an exhibition surveying the work of the Argentine artist, where photography, archive, and activism intertwine to reflect on the traces of violence and human rights.

Today, those who walk through the galleries of the Museum of Modern Art or the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York encounter a welcome surprise: canvases of undeniable visual strength hanging alongside figures such as Rothko or Tàpies. These are works by Sarah Grilo, recently acquired by these institutions. Nearly two decades after her passing, the artist has finally assumed the place of honor her career deserved.

Malba presents the most comprehensive survey of the Argentine artist’s work, featuring nearly 200 paintings, drawings, collages, embroideries, sculptures, installations, and videos; an exhibition that invites making without fear.

The Argentine duo receives the award in recognition of a practice that merges art, architecture, and public space, creating social sculptures that transform the city.

The voice of a conceptual artist from the last century resonates as if his agenda were the same as today’s. Among works and sketches, the exhibition reminds us that “there is nothing more real than a potato.”

With references to Baroque, Pop Art, Andean cosmology, music, fashion, and political protest, the exhibition at MASP encourages reflection on gender, colonialism, and the Chola identity.

Valeria Maculan presents an installation that turns the exhibition space into a stage shared with the audience. The work uses large, foldable textile figures to create a theatrical environment that evokes archetypes, myth, and ritual.

La vida se mueve delves into Pablo Reinoso’s most recognizable artistic practice: the transformation of everyday objects into sculptural works that explore existential fragility in dialogue with space and surrealism.

The event will bring together 46 Indigenous artists from different regions of Argentina and neighboring countries, with exhibitions and activities taking place between February and April.

This edition offers artists the opportunity to imagine, experiment with, and materialize a large-scale work with a strong territorial presence. Application deadline: March 31, 2026.

Antena by Silvia Gurfein, Huir del mundo by Rosa Chancho, and Important Artifacts by Leanne Shapton are three art books published in Spanish during 2025. All three have pink covers. But contrary to the saying, it’s not all roses in these books. Or perhaps it is, but not in an obvious way: they narrate and engage with art through themes of isolation, fragmentation, rupture, and imagination.

Between the exposed Misiones jungle and the revealed basin of the Río de la Plata, the museum proposes a journey through the work of Florencia Böhtlingk this summer.

In an image-saturated present, Francisco Lemus proposes new relationships through a selection of works that appropriate space to assert their presence in the face of contemporary volatility.

The Force of the Display. Gae Archive is the title of the project by Nora Ancarola (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1955) currently on view at the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC). 

Among jaguars, giant flowers, and living ceramics, Nicola Costantino unfolds a universe where technique and concept seek each other out. From initial rawness to a beauty guided by nature, her work continues to evolve like an expanding jungle.

The exhibition sketches an intimate map where rituals, organic materials, and personal narratives intertwine to question the social norms that shape our identities.

The gallery marks sixty years of history with Energy and Optimism for Life, a vibrant look at its legacy and its present.

At the Argentine gallery, Pariente by Hans Petersen and Redondita by Juana Cravero engage in dialogue: two exhibitions that explore what we have turned into habit, and the desire that never fades away.

Argentina Performance Art announced its 2025/2026 Open Call with four strands: professional internships; a research-and-writing residency; submissions for the Active Archive; and Acciones APA for performance proposals. Deadline: November 30, 2025.

The Helsinki museum brings together ten emblematic installations by the Argentine artist that disrupt our perception of space and turn the viewer into a protagonist.

The ambitious immersive project, produced entirely by the Museo Moderno and previously exhibited at the museum, will open at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark.

Through the exploration of the intersections between image, body, and discourse, Guad Creche (Salta, Argentina, 1985) positions their curatorial gaze on the performative potential of photography.

Both the exhibited and the stored works draw attention in Matilde Marín’s studio. On the walls, her emblematic photographs steal the gaze, but so do the wrapped and labeled folders on her tables, the boxes full of books on the floor, and the stacks of files on her shelves. The image completes itself with her voice, the one that explains why the archive, too, is a protagonist.

Editor and curator, Sol Echevarría created Espacio FAN as a meeting ground between the editorial and the visual. There, books become a territory for experimentation, and artworks become ways of reading. A project that champions collaboration, critical thinking, and cultural resistance in times of retreat.
