| description | critic's text | artist's statement | Collections
of Argentine coins and bills which reflect the ups and downs of the
country's economy are being exposed in the Numismatic Museum of the
Argentine Central Bank; next to these collections there is the hall
for itinerant exhibitions. From the devaluation of the Argentine Peso
on, the idea of making a site-specific contemporary art show has been
negotiated for more than 8 months. The show project consists of compositions
made out of national and international coins and bills, leather and
other materials which would be exhibited in the hall's glass showcases.
The invitations have been already printed and the catalogue is at the
printer's when the President of the Argentine Central Bank censures
the show considering it as "inadequate for the context". The
impossibility to show the material in the real world leads to the making
of a flash animation in order to open the show in a virtual manner in
www.sitearte.com,
a virtual gallery. |
