Creative explosion, political intensity and the redefinition of the role of art in society over the course of ten decisive years.

A breadth of aesthetic currents –conceptual art, minimalism, arte povera, performance art, process-based creation– in a show that, according to its curator, “draws attention to a moment when aesthetic categories proved incapable of categorizing the breadth and range of artistic production.”

Patria 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.
