PRESENTATION
 
"CONJETURAS. EXPLORANDO EL ARTE HOY"

August 26th - December 3rd, 2023

—

From August 26th until the upcoming November, a collection of works by prominent contemporary Argentine artists is being presented at Fundación Proa. Curated by critic and historian Rodrigo Alonso, the exhibition brings together pieces by Andrés Aizicovich, Sergio Avello, Elena Dahn, Iara Freiberg, Mauro Giaconi, Silvia Gurfein, Alicia Herrero, La Chola Poblete, Analía Sabán, Mariela Scafati, Alan Martín Segal, Juan Sorrentino, Amparo Viau, and Dolores Zinny & Juan Maidagan.

"Conjectures. Exploring Art Today" is an invitation to delve into artistic speculation and visual discovery. Through a variety of mediums and styles, the works comprising the exhibition offer an interpretation of the present, exploring themes ranging from identity and politics to the environment, culture, and tradition. "The exhibition proposes interactions between the works of different contemporary Argentine artists, sketching a possible panorama. It presents pieces by Argentine artists living abroad - who create in other cultural environments - alongside artists producing in the local context. The 'conjectural' approach aims to verify the extent to which we recognize ourselves in this variety of creations," explains Alonso.

Arranged in the exhibition space, the selected works maintain a fluid and cross-cutting dialogue, which, unintentionally (or intentionally), resonates with the complexities of a world in a constant state of conjecture. Throughout the journey through the rooms, artists and spectators invariably encounter questions and uncertainties, with no certainties about the future.

With the sponsorship of Tenaris - Ternium, the exhibition "Conjectures. Exploring Art Today" is complemented by educational tools such as gallery videos, texts, and an extensive public program with pedagogical activities organized by the Education Department of Fundación Proa, with the aim of delving into the themes proposed in the exhibition and contemporary artistic production.
