黑料不打烊

On Saturday, March 16th, Fundaci贸n Proa inaugurates its 2024 season with the exhibition "What the Night Tells the Day," conceived by the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea (PAC) of Milan and jointly curated by Andr茅s Duprat, director of the National Museum of Fine Arts, and Diego Sileo of PAC. With the presence of artists and guests, in November 2023, it was inaugurated in the space of this prestigious institution as part of a program aimed at showcasing contemporary art from other countries in the Italian context. Since then, Proa has been involved in the exhibition, collaborating in promoting Argentine art abroad.

Through a collection of photographs, installations, sculptures, videos, and performances by 22 Argentine artists acclaimed on the international scene, "What the Night Tells the Day" explores the diversity of perspectives and expressions of a country that in the past was the destination of major European migrations. As a tribute, the exhibition takes its title from the eponymous novel by Argentine writer H茅ctor Bianciotti, whose plot intertwines with the careful selection of the curators, as it narrates the migration of his parents and his own migration to Europe.

The public will encounter historical pieces such as Le贸n Ferrari's "Western and Christian Civilization," Lucio Fontana's famous slashes, Alberto Greco's provocative performances in Italy, the series of photographs documenting Liliana Maresca's nude performance in the magazine El Libertino, as well as images of Marta Minuj铆n during a broadcast on Channel 7 where the artist created a live performance; and more photographs and an installation by Liliana Porter. The itinerary enriches its narrative with recent works produced by prominent artists who, through diverse media and poetics, delve into key episodes of Argentine history.
