“Rock in sight!” is the exhibition that will open this Friday 28 October at the Ituzaingó Cultural Center, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture of the Nation.

The exhibition is curated by Aspix, nickname of renowned photographer Carlos Giustino, an authentic privileged witness of the rise of national rock and the appearance of great artists throughout several generations.

In this way the public will have the opportunity to enjoy the works of Ignacio Arnedo, Nora lezano, Martin Bonetto, Bad Campello, Claudina Pugliese, Sebastian Klein, Alejandro Kuropatwa, Lola Martinez, Paul Portillo, Edgardo Kevorkian, Jorge Pastoriza and Aspix himself.

according to his words, Giustino expresses that rock was nurtured “from the clandestine ingenuity grown on the margins of the bloodiest dictatorship, to later explode and multiply in the recovered life of democracy” and in turn adds that this story, that today belongs to all of Argentina, “It could not be told fairly without talking about “The West”, powerful territory that saw the birth or fell in love with already mythical figures such as Luca Prodan or the Indio Solari”.

Sumo occupies a leading place in the exhibition. Aspix, Claudina Pugliese and the late Jorge Pastoriza portray the beginnings and milestones in the band's journey. “The figure of Luca Prodan in the curatorial script is preponderant, as well as what happens after his death with the appearance of Las Pelotas and Divididos”, notes Aspix.

The Brazilian photographer based in Argentina Malu Campello, official portraitist of Las Pelotas, contributes current images of the band. The tour includes moments of the formation during a show at La Trastienda and portraits of its members.
