“Take on the chaos. In life and art” is the most recent book by Luis Felipe “Yuyo” Noé, who reflects on chaos from his particular perspective of “a painter who writes”.

Published by El Cuenco de Plata in collaboration with the Luis Felipe Noé Foundation, this essay 500 pages collects decades of analysis on a concept that has been central to his work and thought. On the back cover, Demian Paredes highlights the complexity and mastery of Noé when addressing knowledge of history, philosophy and art, inviting us to “embrace chaos” as a way of understanding the contradictions of life and art, both individually and collectively.

With a prologue by Lorena Alfonso, the text explores the implications of chaos in multiple dimensions. The first part, “The word chaos”, reviews its meaning and the different theories that address it from a scientific perspective, philosophical and anthropological. In the second part, titled “Chaos as a structure of itself”, Noé introduces his vision of artistic creation as an act of wonder and self-discovery, where chaos allows artists to rediscover themselves and be part of the great adventure of the human spirit. On this tour, takes up concepts such as François Jullien's “discoincidence” and Freud's “uncanny”, opening a dialogue with the “I” and the “other-self”.

The book will have two presentations: on Sunday 10 November at 17 hours in the Café of the Museum of Modern Art, located on San Juan Avenue 350 City of Buenos Aires, where Noé will talk with Lorena Alfonso. The second presentation will be on Thursday 21 November at 18 hours at the Association of Friends of the National Museum of Fine Arts, on Presidente Figueroa Alcorta Avenue 2270. Both activities are free to enter., with limited space.
