Next Wednesday, at 6:00 p.m.,within the framework of Women’s Month, will be inaugurated in the Manuel Belgrano Exhibition Hall of the City Legislature shows “Entrelazadas”, by Alejandra Stier and Dina Resca. Through a fusion between plastic and textile art, these two artists, although divergent in technique and format, converge in the exploration of themes such as introspection, spirituality and the connection with the universe.
The decision to unite them in an exhibition is based, according to the curator of the exhibition, Florence Gallo, in the complementarity and richness that their individual works contribute to the artistic dialogue. Although each one has a personal style, both share thematic elements and styles that are enhanced together.
Stier immerses herself in energy and light, while Resca reflects on the feminine essence and the relationship with the earth. Although both work with different techniques, their styles have points of convergence. Stier uses vibrant and energetic strokes, while Resca uses soft textures and feminine symbology. This diversity can offer viewers a varied viewing experience.
The combination of painting and textile art in the same exhibition promotes an interdisciplinary approach that can broaden the public’s appreciation of art. By showcasing different forms of artistic expression, a more comprehensive understanding of the creative process is encouraged.
“By uniting two artists with different visions and techniques, there is synergistic potential to create a unique exhibition experience,” writes Gallo. “Stier immerses us in a world full of light and color, capturing the energy of tones and taking us to an oceanic feeling. Her strokes reveal the fullness of a vibrant existence, while Resca invites us to explore the very essence of femininity and her connection to the universe that surrounds her.”
“Through Stier’s abstract visual language and Resca’s textile expressions, the tensions between the implicit and the explicit, the known and the unknown are intertwined. It is an emotional and spiritual journey, where the works of Stier and Resca intertwine to inspire us to reflect on our own relationship with the world around us.. It is a reminder of our ability to transcend the limits of time and space, and fully embrace our existence in this vast universe,” concludes the curator.
Mildred Burton
Also within Women’s Month, it was inaugurated last week at the Calvaresi Gallery “Strategies of Fluff: The Surreal Magic of Mildred Burton” which consists of more than 25 works by the artist in different techniques and periods, and which will remain open until the end of May from 17 to 21.
With curated by Alberto Passolini, one of the featured works on display in the show is a portrait of a woman wearing a silver mask and a toad on her shoulder, an original creation by Mildred Burton (1942-2008). This work was later selected to be the cover of the novel “The Master’s Hand” by Tomás Eloy Martínez.
His works, enriched with elements that defy realistic plausibility, invite the viewer to explore the unexpected. From a book that emits smoke to the presence of Graciela Borges with her flowing hair, a dragon, a fantastic car and others that border on the surreal.
Passolini, in his curatorial text, points out: “I met her when I was twenty years old, in 1988. It was at a party. Mildred came in dressed like a silent film diva. As soon as she saw me, she crossed the room until she stood in front of me and, from “She was one and a half meters tall and told me: ‘Listen, man, I’m Mildred. Who are you?'”
According to Passolini, Mildred adopted a strategy similar to that of the fluff: “She retained from the family nickname the strategy of a fluff that, before settling on what should shine, traps between its filaments the particles of the undesirable, such as dust.”. For the new generations, another of the fluff strategies is present in his work, this one with kinder echoes: that of the bakers, dandelion, or dandelion,” adds the curator in his reflection on Burton’s influence on art. contemporary.
