On Thursday, July 6, the exhibition “Green Manifesto: Pictorial Imaginaries for a World in Emergency. 1940–2020” opens at the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, curated by Alejandra Aguado.
On this occasion, we are pleased to announce the loan of two works from the collection for exhibition:
-
Luis Benedit, Expectant Mechanical Bird in a Selective Situation, 1968
-
Feliciano Centurión, Untitled (From the Star Series), 1993 (cover image)
The title of the exhibition stems from a statement written in 1971 by Nicolás García Uriburu (Argentina, 1937–2016), in which he expresses his determination to denounce the antagonism between nature and civilization. Taking the work of this pioneering artist and activist as its starting point—whose practice has, since the 1960s, exposed the destructive ways in which human action advances over water, land, flora, and fauna—the exhibition seeks to offer a journey through the work of numerous artists whose practices, like García Uriburu’s, reveal that nature is a living body, far from being a mere object of domestication or domination.
The exhibition will be open to the public from Thursday, July 6 through December 31, 2023.
