Opening: July 4th. 2015Curada conjuntamente por Rodrigo Alonso y Katrin Steffen, la exhibición brinda un muestrario de las nuevas prácticas artísticas del continente en toda su extensión. La mirada, netamente contemporánea de la Colección Daros Latinamerica, se aparta de las versiones regionalistas y folklóricas para ofrecer un panorama de producciones reflexivas y críticas, en sintonía con lo mejor del arte actual. Las obras de los artistas que la integran responden a este criterio curatorial, el cual les permite ofrecer una visión parcial pero significativa del arte más interesante de la región.
Las tensiones geopolíticas, la violencia tanto pública como privada, las resistencias y utopías, y el cuerpo como sede del conflicto social, son algunos de los tópicos abordados por las obras escogidas, cuidadosamente seleccionadas con el fin de transformar al espacio expositivo en una arena para el debate y la reflexión.

Patria Petrona
Idea, project and direction: Alfredo Arias
With the collaboration of Pablo Ramírez and Juan StoppaniPatria Petrona, a homage to the Argentine cook Petrona C. De Gandulfo. As the brainchild of director, actor, and playwright Alfredo Arias – who in the last 40 years has become a fundamental figure in the world of theater – the exhibit serves as a nostalgic introspective into the fantasies created by las tortas (the cakes) of Doña Petrona.
Designer Pablo Ramírez and artist Juan Stoppani work with Arias to create a multidimensional exhibit that includes ceramics, fashion, painting, and theater.
