Meeting for Confrontation of art-works.

 

In the Meeting for Confrontation of art-works in Buenos Aires, 2000, artists debated, among themselves and with other artists that were invited, about the way their works were constructed. This was done over a two-month period. Each artist had a salon somewhere in the city where he/she presented a conflictive project to discuss with the group.

The local artists selected for this meeting were Claudia Martínez from Tucumán, Mónica Millán from Misiones and Horacio Abram Luján, Ernesto Ballesteros, Claudia Contreras, Marina De Caro, Nora Dobarro, Magdalena Jitrik, Res and Mónica Van Asperen from Buenos Aires. José Ferreira, (Johannesburg, South Africa ) and Marco Paulo Rolla (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), were invited by means of Rain.

The jury was constituted by Arturo Carrera (writer), Marcelo Pacheco (art historian, curator) and Horacio Zabala (artist and architect). Artists invited towards the end of the meeting, to confront the group’s work were Víctor Grippo and León Ferrari from Argentina, Jaroslaw Kozlowski from Poland and Richard Deacon from Englan


This activity took place thanks to the support of the
Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Development Cooperation through RAIN and
Fundación Antorchas from Argentina.
