EXPANSIVE LINK - ARTISTAS ARGENTINOS EN HOUSTON

Expansive Link  is the result of an international collaboration between DiverseWorks and Braga Menendez Arte Contemporaneo (Buenos Aires) and features work by an exciting lineup of emerging Argentine artists whose work has strong ties to pop and surrealism. Unusual in approach, the structure of the exhibition is modeled on a well-known children's playground game in Argentina called The Invisible Friend . In the game, kids are given a gift by an unknown classmate and then tasked with guessing the identity of the gift giver through a series of questions. In the exhibition, artists working alone or in groups are given a gift from exhibition curator Florencia Braga Menendez that serves as a guideline for developing new work for the show. Showcasing work in painting, sculpture, photography, video and site-specific installation,  Expansive Link  promises audiences a first glimpse of some of the most interesting artists working in Argentina today. Artists include Max Gómez Canle, Max Cachimba, Iván Clamet, María Guerrieri, Juliana Iriart, Claudia Mazzucchelli, Miguel Mitlag, Rafael González Moreno, Victoria Delrieux (Musotto), Hernán Salamanca, and Cristina Schiavi.
