MALBA Anuncia Su Programación 2015 Eng
December 2014 For immediate release MALBA announces its program of exhibitions and activities for 2015 MALBA announces its schedule of exhibitions for the 2015 season, the first under Agustín Pérez Rubio, the museum’s Artistic Director since May 2014. The program consists of three large-format exhibitions that, in keeping with the museum’s guidelines, include one exhibition centered on Argentine art, a second on art from the larger Latin American region, and a third exhibition of an international nature. Experiencia infinita [Infinite Experience], which will open on March 19, is the first exhibition of its sort to be held in a Latin America institution. This show, which features constructed situations by outstanding international artists, evidences the different ways the concept of “live works” has reached the exhibition space in recent decades. Participating artists include Elmgreen & Dragset [Michael Elmgreen (Copenhagen, Denmark, 1961) and Ingar Dragset (Trondheim, Norway, 1968)] , Dora García (Valladolid, Spain, 1965), Roman Ondák (Zilina, Slovakia, 1966), Diego Bianchi (Buenos Aires, 1969), Pierre Huyghe (Paris, 1962), Allora & Calzadilla [Jennifer Allora (Philadelphia, USA, 1974) and Guillermo Calzadilla (Havana, Cuba, 1971)], Tino Sehgal (London, UK, 1976), and Judi Werthein (Buenos Aires, 1967). Work on the second exhibition, in homage to Rogelio Polesello (Buenos Aires, 1939– 2014), began two years ago. The result of thorough research into and cataloguing of the artist’s personal archive, this exhibition will feature a selection of over eighty historical pieces produced between the late fifties and the seventies, as well as documents that attest to the contribution of the “young Polesello” to Latin American Op art and to the art-design- industry triad.
