Común y corriente


19.03.2016 If the movement of waters naturally follows the force of gravity, what kinds of economic policies rule the forces that modify their courses? How do they permeate the control of public spaces, of private spaces and more so, our body? Agustina Woodgate sets up public drinking fountains and gives away water to visitors. She invites them to bend their bodies, curiously reach to each other and instinctively catch water shoots with their mouths as an act of redistribution. Obsessed with the infrastructure as the visible embodiment of the forces that manage natural resources, with the perishability of economic development models and the ill-timed conversation between private and public policies, the artist makes local cases her own and she amplifies them to a global scale: the space we inhabit, be it physical or social, is a field full of tensions where Man is the common denominator that alters all the cells in the world.

Exhibitions

Pinturas

07.06.2025 Joaquín Boz presents Pinturas (Paintings), an exhibition composed of a new series of oil paintings on canvas and wood in different scales, ranging from works barely thirty centimeters long to extensive panels of more than two meters. In this proposal, Boz starts from a spatial approach that prioritizes a free path through the room, which is only interrupted by a free-standing column, with no function. This manifest intention of starting from a stripping, of ¨sweeping away¨ the nonessential, does not resign the idea of preserving a certain discomfort. Curated by Bárbara Golubicki. At BARRO until July 26.

Mueble escultura + BARRO

05.04.2025 [...] We might regard this exhibition as a choreography of situations that explore ways of being, sitting, posing and moving. A kind of theater of thwarted utility. Furniture as an animal: not a tool, but a mutant organism.In these shifts, the body becomes a central hypothesis: not a passive recipient of design but an unstable variable that energizes and transforms the material.Excerpt from Ana Vogelfang's text for Mueble escultura + BARRO. Until May 16, 2025.
