An Interview with La Chola Poblete

Yo, frágil brings together works by eight artists —including Nicolás Bacal, Marcela Cabutti, and Silvia Rivas— who explore interdependence through installations, sculptures, videos, and paintings. Through September 14 at Sarmiento 151, CABA.

With a work by Lido Iacopetti presented by Aldo de Sousa at the beginning of the fair, as a La Plata's city grail, as Facundo Belén—artistic director of Plateada alongside Virginia Martin—described it, the fair presents its 2026 edition in the main hall of the Teatro Argentino, in La Plata, Argentina.

Just as Emilia de las Carreras (Buenos Aires, 1989) looks at the hermit crab and understands that leaving a mark means that life leaves marks on you too, engaging with her artistic practice inevitably means that little crusts of her narrative stick to us: the methodology she works with, her intuition as a collector, her thinking of the body as geology, her obsessions, her skeletal and exoskeletal sculptures. The artist's work explores bodies and their remains through a visual and sensory operation crossed with scientific research and self-knowledge, giving shape to pieces that evoke an intersection of the archaeological, the clinical, and the speculative. Her approach to art could easily fill dozens of pages; this is only one chapter.

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires (MACBA) presented the work of two women artists. In ¿Cómo suenan las lágrimas antes de secarse? (What Do Tears Sound Like Before They Dry?), Ivana de Vivanco builds a warning. Snakes, with their capacity to sense catastrophe. In Curada de espanto (Cured of Fright), Ornella Pocetti brings together scenes that hold a story that never fully reveals itself. Both artists hold the abyss steady through anticipation and the suspicion of an estrangement. All you have to do is pay attention.

At Casa Santa Ana, Panama, the Argentine artist presents Este rincón, mi rincón through September of this year, a show that stirs a desire to sense in the air traces of vanquished scenes, as Muljat paints them.

At Galería Ruth Benzacar in Buenos Aires, Argentina you'll find “EL ORIGEN DEL MUNDO” and “Futuro acontecer”; two exhibitions with artists building from distant temporalities that are, in their own way, entirely their own.

"When the flame drinks from the stars and the spider weaves cycles of life, where the sky touches the earth and time expands like salt...", this is how Tomás Saraceno describes the exhibition Ancestral Futures at Haus der Kunst.

The Argentine artist's Guadalupe Miles book, edited by Julieta Escardó, documents her bond with the Wichí Santa Victoria II community.

Argentine artist Amparo Viau is presenting her work at ArtNoble Gallery in Milan, Italy, through June 30. The exhibition features a large-scale installation consisting of a continuous drawing approximately forty meters long, created in chalk pastel on paper, along with a series of drawings and bodily fragments that expand upon the themes explored in the main piece.

Meridiano's program brings together this weekend — June 4, 5 and 6 — a tour of galleries in San Telmo, Microcentro, La Boca, Villa Crespo and Retiro. The circuit offers an active reading of local contemporary art.

The first collaboration between El Espacio 23 and Fundación Ama Amoedo places two Argentines at the heart of one of the most dynamic ecosystems for Latin American art.

The Buenos Aires artist has turned the prestigious French building into his new stage: climbable structures, houses suspended in mid-air, and impossible staircases, through September 6.

He was 97 years old and had been hospitalized for two days at the American Hospital of Paris. On June 11, a major retrospective was set to open at the Tate in London.

Guillermo Iuso and FlorenciaBöhtlingk next to Sebastián Gordin present two exhibitions at the Buenos Aires gallery where text and painting coexist without translating each other.

The Argentine artist connects memory and identity in a large-scale installation commissioned by Whitechapel Gallery, where adobe sculptures and collected objects examine the experience of displacement through a contemporary archaeological lens.

With more than 50 paintings and watercolors, the exhibition offers a journey through the metaphysical universe of the painter, marking the beginning of a national tour that will continue in Córdoba and Mendoza.

Nombrar el mundo reconsiders painting through a political and affective perspective, expanding the canvas as textile toward sculptural and sonic dimensions as a gesture of resistance.

The Castilian institution examines Matías Ercole’s conception of space as a cultural construction where identity and emotion converge, encouraging a rethinking of perception and interaction with the environment.

Enrique Ježik and Matías Costa address violence, memory, and exile in Elche, highlighting the connections shaped by displacement.

Matías Duville's installation proposes a traversable landscape where light and shadow, permanence and transformation coexist without resolution.

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.
