Francis Alÿs: The Cut (1993-2015). Acción, óleo sobre tela y video. / Action, oil on canvas and video.

Alÿs intervino la Colección MALBA con este cuadro cortado a la mitad. El cuadro original comentaba el imaginario tropical de América que produjeron los artistas viajeros europeos, y a la vez la acción evoca el ataque a la superficie pictórica de Lucio Fontana. Esta obra es parte de la muestra Francis Alÿs. Relato de una Negociación.

Alÿs intervened MALBA´s collection cutting a painting in two in order to suggest the relation between painting and action. While the original canvas referred to the tropical imaginery of the Americas produced by European travelling painters, the action evokes Lucio Fontana´s attack of the painting surface.  This work is part of the current exhibition Francis Alÿs. Story of Negotiation.

#whereartthou: Challenging Perceptions with #polesellojoven

For more playful art, design and industrial influences, explore the hashtag #polesellojoven and follow @museomalba on Instagram.

(This interview was conducted in Spanish.)

Like a kaleidoscope, the work of Argentine optical artist Rogelio Polesello plays with perceptions. “Polesello Joven” (#polesellojoven), an exhibition of Rogelio’s early years, is on display at the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires (@museomalba).

“The work of the young Polesello wasn’t conceptual, it showed what was happening in the industrial world and how that related to art and design, challenging people’s perceptions,” says Mercedes Casanegra, the curator of the exhibition, which is open through October 12.

Vibrant acrylic plates and color-carved transparent columns and blocks prompt visitors to interact with the art. “Polesello was interested in industry,” says Mercedes. “Working in his workshop, he had the idea of making those carvings, which resulted in magnifying glasses of concave and convex games that deal with elements of scientific perception.”
