AN EXHIBITION OF 200 PIECES OF ARGENTINE ART

The Casa Nacional del Bicentenario has inaugurated Una Casa. La Casa. Lo doméstico deviene territorios (A House. The House. The Domestic Becomes Territories). This is the first public exhibition of works from the collection of Abel Guaglianone and Joaquín Rodríguez.

AN EXHIBITION OF 200 PIECES OF ARGENTINE ART

Curated by Analía Solomonoff, the exhibition brings together pieces that both Argentine collectors acquired during various trips, mostly between 2013 and 2024, with the aim of discovering artists, observing artistic production in its places of origin, and supporting provincial cultural scenes. The exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, installations, textiles, drawings, ceramics, and photographs by 120 artists from Buenos Aires, Chaco, Chubut, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Jujuy, La Rioja, Mendoza, Misiones, Salta, Santa Fe, and Tucumán.

 

The exhibition proposes a perspective that extends beyond Argentina’s centralized art system.

In the words of curator Analía Solomonoff: “Artistic practices and territories are deeply intertwined, defined and presented in a continuous dialectic, a vital back and forth where desires, conditions, beliefs and emotions become a manifesto of our reality. A house. The House is proposed as a space for reflection, dialogue and possible resignifications; as a new other territory”.

 

Among the 200 works on display is that of artist Sandro Pereira, winner of the NEXT | Fuera de foco award, granted by jurors Abel Guaglianone and Cecilia Remiro Valcárcel at the latest edition of Pinta BAphoto. Pereira, who lives and works in San Miguel de Tucumán, is considered the contemporary artist from Tucumán with the greatest national projection. Over the years, he has worked with various artistic genres and materials.

In line with this commitment to contemporary Argentine art, Joaquín Rodríguez and Abel Guaglianone collect and support various public institutions and private projects. Since 2014, they have organized and coordinated the EN OBRA Award as part of the arteBA fair, aiming to foster the development of emerging galleries and artists.

 

Additionally, along with Bárbara Golubicki, Rodríguez is the curator of NEXT | Fuera de foco, a platform dedicated to giving visibility to photography by emerging artists and galleries from across the country, emphasizing diversity and the wide range of possibilities within the medium.

 

Una Casa. La Casa. Lo doméstico deviene territorios can be visited until June 8, on the second floor of the Casa Nacional del Bicentenario, located at Riobamba 985, CABA (Argentina).
