Cristina Siscar

Interview Cristina Siscar

Exiled in France during the civic-military dictatorship, she returned to Argentina in 1986 with her book of poetry Tatuajes/Tatouages. While the bilingual sound of her literature appropriates the cinema to undertake a literary world that encompasses the story and the essay. These transfers build extensive landscapes animated by a curious and plot word. Her novels Country of sand and The shadow of the garden and the essay The trip. Reading itineraries consider the vision of a Stalker: a restless conception whose mission is wonder itself.

Interview Mercedes Alvarez

Interview Mercedes Alvarez

Sociologist from the Public University of Navarra, where she lived between 1998 and 2006, Mercedes Álvarez was born in Tandil in 1979. Her books invariably overflow towards a place of hope that still seems unknown: Saigón, Grow a Lover, The drop on the stone, are finally agreements where to formalize the deed in destinations as unforeseen as they are honest. A kind of Passion, a private artifice, whose public version, –the word– brings out its powerful vitality and its absolute intellectual honesty.

Interview Marcelo Salvioli

Interview Marcelo Salvioli

Set designer, art director and visual artist, Marcelo Salvioli was born in La Plata in 1956. He lives and works as he thinks: The action of drawing, - he says - is his primary impulse, an integral act where the whole body participates; the drawing, a kind of dance.

Her works have magical titles: Invisible music for flute, The book of gestures and This afternoon I read Adorno, based on a poem by Bárbara Belloc. The everyday in the concert hall rethinks the boundaries between the public and the private. Are your tools implausible? If there is something that characterizes home objects, it is their human scale and a fan, after all - he says - it is a wind instrument that rotates.

Oscar Carballo interview

Oscar Carballo interview

Oscar Carballo was born in Buenos Aires in 1959. A visual artist, writer and film director, his work, heterogeneous and practically hidden, has postulated a strong divergence between the visual arts and design, two disciplines in his opinion, irreconcilable. Even when he considers aesthetic fascination as an excess of moral happiness, every work, he says, is a private speech that grants the audience a lasting, genuine and final emotion.

Interview Emilio Torti

Emilio Torti was born in Rosario in 1952. Visual artist and teacher, both his extensive pictorial work and his disturbing drawings - a universe of inexhaustible fractals - have always occupied his most important production. Through digital post-production and technologies, derived from those same inquiries, his current work continues to go through the visual experience as a particular adventure of thought.
