Portfolio Reviews and Critiques
The other's gaze ...

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards”. [ Steve Jobs]

The  Portfolio Reviews & Critique Program has been developing for more than 10 years. This program aims to promote the opening of new spaces and opportunities for the development of personal work by meeting participants with leading artists, curators and critics from the local and international art scene.

In 2009-2010 the program was called “The number 10”. Thus, ten of the most expert figures and referents of contemporary art held individual meetings and interviews with the artists, who had the opportunity to share their ideas and projects, in addition to receiving specialized criticism of their work with the aim of finding alternatives, development and promotion. The Program was structured in 10 months (from March to December) with one curator / artist per month, making a total of 10 sessions per year.

Over time, the program was enriched with group critiques and review, in Pecha Kucha presentation format, for those under 35 years old, allowing emerging artists to join this new dynamic, which is also considered as an instance of collective learning. This program is also related to others such as those of Scholarships and Volunteering, since many times international guests are called to carry out the revision of portfolios for Argentine artists, who are selected by open call and awarded scholarships for this activity.

Directed by Alicia Candiani, this program is open all year and  You can contact us at #contact or periodically review the open calls for this activity.
