Notes related to Buenos Aires

The fair opened its 21st edition with a program that celebrates photography in all its forms — from the sensitive “skins” of Marina De Caro to the gazes of those who inhabit the streets, and the trajectory of the FotoGalería at Teatro San Martín.

Blurring the boundaries between image, performance, and experimentation, projects by Gustavo Nieto, Nicola Costantino, and Donna Conlon stand out in a new edition of Pinta BAphoto, returning to La Rural with proposals that expand the scope of photography today.

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.

Simple, yet with complex movement, the artist managed to capture what his sensitive eyes perceived, and today his name is part of the local art history as a reference in photographic portraiture.

The event celebrates its 21st edition with a diverse program that spans photography through curatorial, performative, and editorial approaches, intertwining “the material with the immaterial, the intimate with the collective.”

In its final weeks, the exhibition Mi país no es Grecia offers one of the most comprehensive overviews of the Peruvian photographer’s work—moving between the popular, the precarious, and the poetic.

The tenth edition of the Prix Pictet brings together in Buenos Aires twelve international photographers who address the major social and environmental challenges of our time.

Featuring nearly fifty works, the exhibition explores Brook’s “clouds” series and his interest in integrating sculpture into architecture and public space.

The cultural event turns Buenos Aires into a vibrant art route: galleries, museums, artist studios, and independent spaces open their doors with free activities and special programs.

Youth, performance, and permanence: Argentina’s most important art fair has opened at Centro Costa Salguero and will run until August 31.

Just steps from the door, I heard the echoes of Tramoya. Curiosity guided my body toward the gallery, stealing from me the chance to prepare for the detours and fragmentations the works would provoke—and for the attempts to piece together those fragments within my own body.

Last few weeks to enjoy a unique experience at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Boca: an immersive exhibition that combines art, technology, and audience participation.

The contemporary art fair organized by gallerists opens to the public in Buenos Aires’ renovated downtown featuring “resident” and “guest” galleries as well as international participants.
