Visual Poetry Exhibition at Centro Cultural Kirchner Features Over 30 Artists from Argentina, Brazil, and Chile
Running until October 1, the exhibition 'Qué cosa, la poesía visual?' at the Centro Cultural Kirchner in Buenos Aires features over 30 artists from Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Curated by Guillermo Daghero, it pays tribute to Edgardo Vigo (1928-1997) and Jorge Santiago Perednik (1952-2011). Among the showcased artists are León Ferrari, Mirtha Dermisache, and Juan Carlos Romero, as well as Brazilian figures like Augusto de Campos and Lenora de Barros. The exhibit focuses on experimental poetry from the 1980s and 1990s, including works by Perednik and Carlos Estévez. Directed by Fernando García Delgado, the Archivo Vórtice highlights the evolution of visual poetry. Anna Ferrari's design offers a neutral backdrop, while Daghero reflects on the 1969 Expo organized by Vigo and the intergenerational dialogue among artists.
