By way of manifesting the creators of Bienalsur, its general director, Aníbal Jozamiand its artistic director, Diana Wechslerincubated at the National University of Tres de February UNTREF, said “we dissent”, we assume a pro-active position, emancipated, creative, reflective, critical, aimed at breaking the isolation, individualism, re-build physical, face-to-face, diverse, real community for the development of a possible contemporary humanism. Build on uncertainty and an invitation to discuss the challenges of contemporary art.
Among the samples presented at the Immigrant Hotel Km 0 can be seen “Cronotopias” that deal with time, space and memory under the curatorship of Eugenio Viola and Diana Wechsleran anthological of Silvia RivasVideo facilities and whose career we have dealt with in this column, since almost the beginning when he presented in the former Der Brücke gallery in 1995 and 1998. His samples caught attention for an image of great lightness, cleanness and transparency. In his videos this artist makes use of the slow camera, the expanded reproduction and the effects of the passage of time. Complex work since it treats issues such as the body taken to its extreme elasticity, challenging the law of gravity.
The Braque Prize was created in 1963 and was held until 1997 by the Embassy of France to stimulate the production of young artists and promote cultural production between France and Argentina. According to statistics 800 artists were selected in that period and Since 2013 it was resumed by UNTREF which will shortly announce the winner of version 2025.
The curators of the current Braque award, Alejandra Aguado and Francisco Lemusthey summoned a Paula Castro, Hoco Huoc, Josefina Labourt, Lucrecia Lionti, Valeria Reissig, Santiago Rey and Lucas Di Pascuale.
The latter was the one that interested us most. Born in Córdoba in 1968, he was winner of important awards, including the second drawing prize of the National Hall (2023), Klemm Award in 2013, appears in the collections of the Castagnino Museum of Rosario, in the Caraffa de Córdoba, the modern of Buenos Aires.
According to its history, it unfolds between the limits of drawing, writing, reading, between editorial and teacher practice. A montage that does not give truce, difficult to follow that fragmented set of objects, books, beings, almost impossible to stop the look demanded by immediacy, a constant movement and whirlwind of images that can show a landscape, a body, a daily object.
