The prominent Argentine artist, whose environmental concern has led her several times to activism in the face of disasters suffered by forests, inaugurated the chamber exhibition “Vital Immanence”
Olga Autunno, a prominent Argentine artist whose concern is nature, which she considers sovereign, inaugurated a new exhibition at Daim – Usina Cultural. This chamber show is titled “Vital Immanence” and it bears the same name as a recent large one recently exhibited at the Caraffa Museum in Córdoba.
His concern has been nature since he testified to the fire that devastated 41,000 hectares in the valley of Lake Cholila to which he traveled and where he performed performances and installations that he recorded with his camera and videos.. These “healing” installations consisted of painting crosses, leaving floral offerings, and installing serums on the charred trees that were covered with green gauze. Subsequently, with those records she made a sample, “The forest on fire”, which could be described as a wake-up call and also a personal commitment.
We remember an exhibition in the Glass Box of Banco Ciudad “About Survival” in which he emphasized the magical character of nature that always resurfaces and in which he used the algafría method, an engraving procedure using aluminum plates. “Survival”, “Persistence”, “Inner foliage” are some of the titles of samples in which Autunno invites us to trust in the perpetual beauty of nature, in its constant rebirth.
An artist with a vast career, among his awards, he was awarded the Trabucco by the National Academy of Fine Arts, has carried out intense teaching work as well as lectures on his specialty. He lived in Córdoba to which he returns regularly since, as he confesses, “I grew up between the river and the mountains, when Carlos Paz was a mountain town.”
This artist comes from engraving and Nelly Perazzo, former president of the Academy of Fine Arts, noted in a writing about her work that “From the beginning Autunno was faced with the infernal informalist searches for research on the subject, to delve into the primal”. He also lived in Spain, met the group Dau al Set which included Tapies, Cuixart, Ponc, in Madrid he contacted Manolo Millares, Antonio Saura, Canogar who allowed him to leave the orthodoxy of engraving to combine it with photography, transfer , collagraph and other advanced methods at that time.
In this intimate exhibition, the seed is the protagonist. By the way she wrote: “I am origin, seed, natural force, I am balance, I am shadow, fruit, oxygen. “I am life”. Autunno does not lower his arms and persists with his call for the rebirth of nature, a kind of crusade so that the world remains on alert in the face of so much destruction that man inflicts on it without thinking for a moment that we will live in it and that we need it. to survive.
