Through this project, the organizers launched an invitation for the interested public to reflect on the idea of interaction, its influence on perception and to take part in a series of “digital experiments, discovering the relationship between image and sound, digital and real, concrete and abstract, human and machine ”, as they pointed out. 

The questions that the exhibition addressed to the audience were about "What does it mean to be human?", "How are the senses connected?" and "What is the boundary between human and machine?".

“Holiday Space” by KAWS

Acclaimed by tourism, La Boca preserves the emblematic tin dwellings built in the 19th century when Italian immigrants arrived in Buenos Aires. In the exhibition, past, present and future come together in this experimental proposal. Through interactive, immersive, and sound works, the exhibition tries to expand the sensorial limits to the point of questioning the notion of the tangible and immerses us in a fictitious world that can only be accessed digitally.

The monumental spider by Argentinean artist Tomás Saraceno, which moves abruptly and can dance, is one of the most outstanding works. The incredible arthropod is part of a series of ecological works by the artist that seeks to show different species without hierarchies.

"Lune" by Julie Curtis

Over the Riachuelo floats KAWS' most iconic figure, baptized Companion, a sort of Mickey with deformed ears and his face covered by his hands, "beaten down by the consumer society". The piece is titled “Holiday Space” and is a silver astronaut version of the highly recognizable character the artist created 20 years ago based on his original graffiti and cartoons. Companion is placed in close proximity to Julie Curtiss' "Lune" which depicts a nude woman who always has her back to the viewer, and if someone approaches, she vanishes.

Works by Nina Chanel Abney, Koo Jeong A, and Lu Yang have recently been added. Abney combines abstraction with representation to capture the frenetic pace of contemporary life in her work "Imaginary Friend": a giant avatar of a black Christ on the façade of the museum. Meanwhile, Jeong A presented "Density," a 3D work of an ice cube that reflects and refracts the environment wherever it is placed.

Finally, Chinese artist Lu Yang, whose practice is deeply immersed in the subcultures of anime, video games, and science fiction, brings to life her digital avatar, "DOKU", which takes over the physical world in the form of a giant, dancing superhero covered in tattoos.

The exhibition has brought a lot of new visitors to the museum. But it is not only a playful and sensory experience, "A panorama of this world" brings together public space, technology, and contemporary art at a very early stage of the discipline.

Artists: KAWS

The new exhibition of Carolina Acosta (Eug), is part of the Residency Project La Pajarera, of the visual arts degree at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Ecuador. This residency took place from November 2021 to March 2022. It’s one of the permanent programs of the Parterre Gallery, which seeks to establish a dynamic space for creation that dialogues with the pedagogical processes linked to the arts. This exhibition is the final product of the residency.

Based in Paris for 30 years, Martín Reyna began his artistic career in the 80s under the current of abstract expressionism. That is why when we see his works we can recognize the influence of artists such as Jackson Pollock or Lee Krasner. However, Reyna's paintings are composed of more subtle and harmonious strokes, inspired by the landscapes of nature. But these are not works of a documentary nature; rather, the artist intends to capture the sensations and emotions that those landscapes provoke in him.

Reyna's art is characterized by his spirit of experimentation. Currently, his works are composed of minimal elements that flow looking for autonomous paths in their journey across the surface. In fact, the artist almost does not intervene in his works; he lets the fluidity of water act on light, space, and color. There is a factor of freedom that can be transmitted to his viewers. That lack of control over nature makes a strong statement. At a time when humans strive to control their environment despite the damage they generate, to visit this exhibition is to be carried away by the forces of nature even while inside a building in the middle of the city of Buenos Aires.

The artist's goal was to illustrate human nature in three dimensions through these sculptural works and to offer a new perspective on sculpture itself. Then the kind of material she uses for that, in a way, speaks about fragility and transience.
