From 'geometric imagination' to the sound of tears: four ways to broaden your view

The Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires (Macba) has unveiled four new exhibitions that push the boundaries of artistic expression, inviting viewers to expand their perspectives through diverse mediums and concepts. These shows span different artistic languages and generations, offering a rich tapestry of contemporary art.

German artist Gerold Miller presents "Surface and Presence," his first solo exhibition in Latin America. Miller, who works between Berlin and Pistoia, investigates the relationship between image, sculpture, and space. His "industrial minimalism" transforms classical painting elements into architectural or sculptural forms, emphasizing materiality in contrast to virtual imagery. "Everything you see is what exists. Steel, form, space, weight: the viewer can observe how the work is constructed and how it functions. My art is simple, it is real," Miller stated.

"Geometric Imagination" showcases over six decades of work by Argentine artist César Paternosto. Additionally, Ornella Pocetti's "Curated of Dread" is featured, marking the largest exhibition to date for the artist. On the sixth floor, the Macba Kabinet presents "How Do Tears Sound Before They Dry?" by Chilean-Peruvian artist Ivana de Vivanco, exploring the audibility of a desert's soundscape.

These exhibitions collectively demonstrate how art can transform perception, turning geometry into territory, painting into tangible matter, personal experience into fiction, and installations into audible landscapes. The shows offer a compelling look at how artists engage with form, space, and sensory experience.
