From Tuesday 11 December may be enjoyed two new samples at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, a tribute to the artist and architect Clorindo Testa, the fifth anniversary of his death and a photographic exhibition that offers the opportunity to see part of the collection of the enclosure located on the Avenida del Libertador 1473.

"This is my house" is the name of the exhibition dedicated to Testa, a compendium of 33 works that propose to rethink the legacy of painter born in Italy in the early years of the 20s.

This sample is located on the first floor of the enclosure and contains paintings, drawings and installations from 1968, curated by María José Herrera and Mariana Marchesi (artistic director of the museum).

According to the curators explain "as an architect, Testa reflects on the fallacies of modernism and functionalism, criticizes overcrowding and system routines to which the contemporary citizen is subject "and in turn add that" from painting, disarms the principles of modern architecture and rationalist, one that had marked his formation ".

The exhibition has been nourished by the works of the collection of the Testa family, and other public and private collections, as the Fine Arts, chancellery Argentina, Proa Foundation, Balanz collections Contemporary and Daniela Mac Adden.

Meanwhile, "In transit" is the exhibition that brings together part of the collection of photographs of Fine Arts, prepared to see on the second floor.

The exhibition presents a corpus of outstanding pieces of authors like Henri Cartier Bresson, Annemarie Heinrich, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Graciela Iturbide, Robert Doisneau, Claudia Andujar, Sara Facio and Marcos Lopez, among others.

Curated by Veronica Tell, It is divided into two main themes: "Cities and their worlds" and "Forms of subjectivity".

The first is a selection of photographs that focus on urban scenes as the city portrayed as a physical space, symbolic and political.

The second core focuses on the various forms of portraiture and includes images of personalities, self-portraits, photographs of family groups, nudes and ethnographic records.

Both samples can be visited from Tuesday to Friday 11 a 20 or the weekends 10 a 20.
