In the field of art, Luis Terán presented his “Living Versions”, two wooden sculptures with a platform that offered the public the possibility of entering the interior of the work. The sculptures have their origin in “Giro triangular”, belonging to the heritage of the Modern Museum of Buenos Aires. According to the point of view from which the work is observed, a sequence of equilateral triangles of rustic wood joined to each other can be seen. The piece seems to be rotating and causes the sensation of movement. Given the plurality of perspectives that sculpture offers, the traditional firmness of the single point of view of a contemplative spectator is broken. This triggers the kinetic phenomenon. The polyperspective forces to “engage” a point of view with the one that follows it, the eye goes from one angle to the other. In this way, the work “organizes” the gaze, induces one to perceive movement (Chandon’s motto for this year was “Change the Gaze”). The artist uses this optical resource to change the viewer’s gaze.
Then, among the most striking works, there was the ardent “Fire” by Paul Sende, an installation made up of 36 profiles of LED lights that configure a digital campfire with futuristic aspirations. In addition, in the old shooting range, the work “Pulsar” drew all eyes with the changing “sky” of the Plan study group, made up of Mariana Albornoz, Lolo Armendáriz, Florencia Rocha and Daniel Tirado. The large luminous panels provided a happy encounter with technology, an interactive experience since the lights and colors moved following the rhythm of the people who passed and walked around them. Thus the work provoked the pleasant sensation of being among the clouds.
With the aim of “generating participatory artistic proposals”, a work identical to a “Penetrable” by Venezuelan Jesús Soto was presented, with white and luminous ribbons that dance when the public crosses the surface. Already in 1967, Soto invited the viewer to move, join the work and thus perceive the “matter-energy” of the world.
The use of balloons of a single color in a space where the viewer enters and plays, brings to mind the work of the British artist Martin Creed, who invites the viewer to interact and explore his most playful side, since in order to appreciate the work “ you have to literally immerse yourself in it.” In this way, something as ephemeral and immaterial as air becomes tangible and visible. Accumulating this item provides a slot for the game. On the ground floor of the building you could enter a large pool full of pink balls. Then, Solange Agterbeg’s proposal “The Anxiety” added more than 20,000 red balloons that she used to build a strange 8-meter-long corridor. A landscaper, florist and librarian known as Efímera Floral presented “Galactic Flora”, a changing landscape with diverse flowers and plants.
During the Night of the Museums, the Moderno presented a special program, with artists from various regions of the country and with the San Telmo Youth School Orchestra conducted by Clara Ackerman. 60 musicians cut San Juan Avenue, accompanied by folklore dancers in typical costumes. Videos of the “Mi Vereda” project, curated by Vale Vilar and Zoé di Rienzo, were projected on the façade. The tour continued in the Patio and in the exhibition halls. “This is probably the most spectacular night of museums that the Modern has done in its history,” said the director of the Museum, Victoria Noorthoorn.
With multiple concerts, the museums accompanied the exhibitions, and the small Roca Museum invited its public to dance swing, with classes included.
