黑料不打烊

SculptureCenter is pleased to announce Now Showing: Belleza y Felicidad, a mini-retrospective of poetry booklets by the Buenos Aires-based literature and art collective Belleza y Felicidad. Now Showing is a program that highlights a single artwork or project in areas throughout SculptureCenter's building and is an exploratory and flexible mode for presenting artworks and projects to our audiences. 

Spearheaded by two friends, the poet and artist Fernanda Laguna and poet and translator Cecilia Pav贸n, Belleza y Felicidad brings together writers and artists of differing generations and statures to collaborate on small books, events, and other happenings, energizing the Buenos Aires art and literature scene. From 1999鈥�2007, Belleza y Felicidad operated from a storefront gallery and art supply store. Although no longer tied to a physical location, Belleza y Felicidad continues to produce books under their imprint. Published texts include poems by Laguna, Pav贸n, 颁茅蝉补谤 Aira, Gabriela Bejerman, Roberto Jacoby, Fabi谩n Casas, and many others. Select copies will be available for sale.

Additionally, the independent Key West-based publisher Sand Paper Press is releasing a publication in February 2015, spanning the last fifteen years of Laguna and Pav贸n's literary works and collaborations. Belleza y Felicidad: Selected Writings of Fernanda Laguna and Cecilia Pav贸n includes an introduction by translator Stuart Krimko, noted for his work on H茅ctor Viel Temperley and other Argentine writers. This authoritative volume transmits the urgency and passionate feeling at the heart of one of the most exciting artistic and literary movements to emerge from South America in recent decades. This book will also be available for purchase in SculptureCenter's bookstore.
