four years ago held the first edition of "Open House", an initiative that invites artists from Argentina's current situation to show the most representative of their products in the home of his country's ambassador in London's Belgravia Square.
The home houses works of art, but by no means is converted into a museum, but rather is the subject of a makeover thanks to the work of such avant-garde artists that adorn the furniture, paintings and sculptures usual.
A grass growing between the slabs of marble entrance welcomes visitors, a few steps away you can see how the figure of a "little woman" is busy weaving a huge ball of wool that is based on a chair, a work that shows the interest of inanimate objects tiny artist Liliana Porter.
Not all Porter figurines have crept into the house to build: a man of about three inches high has been reduced to shattered a vase of china and figurines another has scribbled one of the mirrors that hang usually the wall of a room.
One of the figures of Argentina Liliana Porter becomes the decoration of the residence of Ambassador Open House 2010. " Embassy of Argentina.
The exhibition curator, Fernando Farina, explained that the exhibit was organized, in fact, "respecting the house, accommodating some of the usual decoration works, but changing its functionality. "
An example of this change in the role of housing elements, a pair of goals designed by the sculptor Pablo Reinoso occupy high which, after retiring from the table and chairs in the center, has been put silverware.
"We imagined a home determined by the presence of an ambassador half eccentric, but also by other forces, ghosts things outside him, but that transform the house because not everything is controllable, "said Farina.
El comisario destacó el carácter "crítico e irónico" de los artistas argentinos que, sin embargo, no dejan de lado lo estético, ya que "utilizan la belleza como anzuelo para atraer la mirada de un espectador que luego se encuentra con algo inquietante".
Las fotografías de Nicola Constantino -que aparece en sus instantáneas junto a una doble que creó para no dejar de trabajar tras ser madre, pero que al final ha acabado compitiendo con su yo real- y de Marcos López -que emplea elementos como la sangre para denunciar la violencia- son ejemplo de ese juego entre estética y denuncia.
El veterano León Ferrari es other artists protest, and participate in this exhibition with a mural that is based on pages of "L'Osservatore Romano."
can also be seen in art house classics such as Argentina of Minujin performance, in 1985, in which she appears in a symbolic way to pay Argentina's foreign debt with the delivery of corn cobs , considered the "gold" in Latin America, the American artist Andy Warhol.
