CIUDAD INVISIBLE

Rolf Art is pleased to invite you to the exhibition now on display at our space, INVISIBLE CITY,conceived under the curatorial approach by the Spanish artist and political activist Marcelo Expósito, which brings together a careful selection of iconic works by prominent Latin American artists united by a common aesthetic theme: the dystopian urban space  that we have to re-inhabit.


"Of the countless ways in which photography has portrayed the city (…) what this exhibition chooses is, precisely, to offer a synthetic model of how the history of photography allows us to observe the city as a memorial reservoir of the modernity experience. This exhibition is a reduced-scale model of how the representations of the modern city, its postmodern permutations and its current terminal crisis constitute a palimpsest of contradictory memories of modernity. "

ABOUT ROLF ART

Rolf Art, located in Buenos Aires and founded by Florencia Giordana Braun in 2009, focuses on contemporary Latin American visual arts. The gallery features works exploring photographic media and its boundaries. The selection of artists considers pieces with an inextricable union between critical density and aesthetic values, the relationship between formal strategies and conceptual depth is always in conflict. The curatorial profile of the gallery first and foremost challenges the political context and the representation of what is considered a political image within the boundaries of the photographic medium. It also considers the social and economical context of artistic production and understands it as a determining factor for art’s interpretation.

We are committed to a select group of contemporary established Latin American artists, promoting them on a national and international basis. We support their artistic production together with editorial and audiovisual projects.

The gallery’s mission is to promote the appreciation of contemporary art and to push the boundaries of visual arts.
