Desde el fondo del tiempo

Mauro Giaconi (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1977, lives and works in Mexico City) works against the boundaries of a discipline that is conventionally understood as marks on a surface. In his practice, he continually redefines the act of drawing using autobiographical reflection, historical references andhis anchoringin a present-day commitment with the awareness of someone who has lived in different latitudes and grew up under a dictatorship. The exhibition comprises three works that present his working processes: an ephemeral mural that covers the walls of the room, incorporating architectural elements from the museum's immediate surroundings; the installation Alma (Soul) made up of a heap of rocks formed from empty plastic bags and finally, the museumœs storage room is used to project the video Línea transversal (Transversal Line), which records an action inspired by an episode from the military dictatorship in Uruguay. The fourth activations in the exhibition was by collective Los Vecinos del Ritmo (Nadia Lartigue, Juanfran Maldonado and Esthel Vogrig) with the intervention "Tiempo de Piedras", where the stones - a key element in Giacconi's work - were the main theme. They are a performance band that uses their bodies to create digital sounds that, in turn, generate different movements.
