ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE

Dozens of branches hanging from the ceiling of the central hall of ´ace and a large number of prints of pigeon imaged make up the installation One thousand eight hundred and seventy five made by Wayne Diem Kleppe that explores the roots of agriculture in Argentina.

The title of the exhibition (1875) refers to the year in which Argentina sent the first shipment of intact grain to the United Kingdom, triggering a wave of local and foreign investment. The female figure, holding the hay bundle, is both a reference to the maternal figure and the mythical female figure – who is the embodiment of nurture and nature. Pigeons allude to the life in a city, literally and symbolically, feeding on life in urban areas.

STATEMENT OF THE ARTIST

Each individual internalizes his or her experience of the world in a different way.

There are limitations to how we can express and react to these experiences, social norms and constructions are the most frequent obstacles.

My work aims to convey the anguish that comes from feeling these limitations. By using the characters, a person can feel liberated from his or her own skin, and is able to remove himself from the traditional obligations and paradigms of daily life.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
