	November 15, 2006 Museum of Art Built The corner of Ayolas and Av. Pedro de Mendoza, front al Bridge Shuttle, is the place elected by the artist and publicist Lipa Burd to build the Museum of the Art Built, that for ends of 2007 will form splits next to Fundacion Proa "of the cultural axis of the neighborhood of La Boca", as comments Burd. "I lived 25 years in Paris and I had the marvelous possibility to know artists. It wanted that that experience remain expressed of some way, and therefore, with the aid of many people, we are building the Museum of Art Built. To where I have knowledge, there is not in the world museums specialized in the geometric art. The works go to to be donated by the artists, and I want that they same choose the ones that seem them more representative", indicates Burd, and adds: "They are guests all the artists of geometric art that had the possibility to know. I reckon that there will be space so that they expose 40 artists that would form the permanent collection: 20 originating from the Río de la Plata because there are many Brazilian, Uruguayan, and Argentine artists that have spectacular works-; and 20 of Europe and the remainder of America. The art critic Raúl Santana will be the curator of the Museum, that will include works of July Le Parc, Horacio Garcia Rossi, Hugo De Marco, Gregorio Vardánega and Marta Botto, Juan Melé, Rogelio Polesello, Lion Ferrari and Carmelo Arden Quin, among others. The building will occupy near two thousand square meters and will have three flats for permanent expositions, one for temporary, a foyer for sculptures, a flat dedicated to the architecture, an audience and a library. Besides, the facade will be inspired in the "Square Black" (1923) of Kasimir Malévich. The Museum will count also with a building annex on the street Ayolas that, with the name SigloXXI Cambalache, will be inaugurated in April of 2007 for the Biennial 1ra of Art Built. "The idea is that be a biennial of galleries, and already we have some compromised to participate. A voting among the public will be done to elect a winning artist, and we intend to acquire some of its works", recognizes Burd. Enthusiastic, the artist concludes: 'Fundacion Proa, the Museum of the Art Built and SigloXXI Cambalache will be the three elements that will form the cultural axis of La Boca, and I believe that he will represent us very well. Besides, with Caminito and the Bridge Shuttle as symbols of the neighborhood, and the classical places like the Museum of Fine Arts "Benito Quinquela Martin" and the Theater of the Bank will be completed an important cultural pole in the City'.
