Cooperativa FIR, with the support of AFCN, in partnership with The Goethe-Institut Bucharest and Sector 1 Gallery, presents "Monuments In Time” - LIVING MONUMENTS, a two-part exhibition focusing on the work of visual artist Aurelia Mihai.

Alex Goldschwartz's exhibition “Venus is the Promised Land” at PalermoH Gallery highlights a bold blend of styles that fuses the baroque with pop, creating a unique visual language. Through this fusion, Goldschwartz builds a dialogue between the monumental, exuberant, and ornate of the baroque with the vibrant and accessible aesthetics of pop art, generating an attractive tension between the ancient and the modern.
The proposal invites us on a reflective and, simultaneously, expansive journey toward the representation of the body and its landscapes, framed in a critique of the myths of beauty and fertility associated with the female figure. From the title, Goldschwartz establishes a provocative parallelism between Venus, the classical deity of beauty, and the earth, in its most literal and symbolic sense, as a space of creation, transformation, and struggle.

Upon entering, the visitor encounters large canvases dominated by warm tones and dense textures, combining abstract forms and recognizable fragments of human anatomy. The baroque is manifested in the visual saturation that dominates the room. The female bodies, often in contorted poses or overloaded with ornaments, seem to evoke sacred or mythological figures, but always from a contemporary and provocative perspective. The use of a palette of deep golds and reds in many works reinforces this association with the baroque, evoking a sense of opulence and historical weight.

However, this visual density is balanced and contrasted with distinctly pop elements. The use of neon and synthetic textures, combined with the dramatic compositions and themes of corporeality and female fertility, creates a visual clash that not only celebrates excess but reinterprets it in a contemporary light.

The exhibition “Aída Carballo: An Open Door to the Infinite” celebrates the legacy of the Argentine artist, known especially for the unique style of her engravings in which she combines elements of everyday life with a deep social commitment, as well as her teaching role. The proposal, held at the Museum of La Cárcova, is curated by Lucía Laumann, author of the book “Aída Carballo, teacher: Graphic Production and Institutional Paths in Buenos Aires in the Second Half of the 20th Century”.The exhibition brings together engravings, drawings, documents, ceramics, and photographs, organized into three sections: “La Cárcova”, which focuses on her time at the Ernesto de la Cárcova School of Fine Arts; “The Soul of the City”, which shows her ways of inhabiting urbanity that, in some way, was reflected in her work, and “Between the classrooms and the workshop”, dedicated to her job as a teacher.

The Museum of La Cárcova previously functioned as the Ernesto de la Cárcova School of Fine Arts, a key training instance for the artist. Hence, the exhibition space becomes a key player in her artistic career. This takes on greater importance in the “La Cárcova” nucleus, focusing on the artist's training since her youth.

Fundación Proa, located in the neighborhood of La Boca (Buenos Aires), presented “Espejos de México” (Mirrors of Mexico), with emblematic works by Mexican contemporary artists Julieta Aranda, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Damián Ortega. The works propose universal readings on human issues (personal and social) and the relationship with technologies (uses and customs).

“Insecta” is a solo exhibition of the Argentine artist Julia Padilla that brings together a series of sculptures made for the occasion. These hybrid structures arise from assembling disused industrial materials with organic elements. The exhibition curated by Javier Villa can be visited at the emblematic Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires.

On the 100th anniversary of Gyula Kosice's birth, Malba inaugurated an exhibition that seeks to highlight the pioneering role of the Slovak-Argentine artist and his contribution to the international context of postwar art. "Gyula Kosice: Intergalactic" brings together more than 80 works made by the artist between 1950 and 1980. Highlights include plastic sculptures, kinetic reliefs, and water drops. But above all, for the first time in many years, "The Hydrospatial City" as a whole is exhibited in Argentina.
