El Museo Moderno anuncia con gran entusiasmo Exposiciones en cartel, un ciclo teatral y nuevo género de exposiciones de arte contemporáneo que incluye la presentación de obras inéditas de importantes artistas escénicos que enriquecen el programa anual 2025, Arte Es Teatro. Con esta propuesta, el Auditorio se transforma en un espacio híbrido: escenario y sala de exhibición a la vez.
Exposiciones en cartel convoca a los artistas que continúan en el presente la historia del teatro más osado de las últimas décadas para poner en escena obras situadas en una zona de contagio muy especial entre el arte contemporáneo y la dramaturgia, donde el happening, la performance y el cruce constante entre disciplinas generan experiencias en vivo únicas.
Maricel Álvarez: Yo y este misterio, aquí estamos (Pequeña Suite de mí misma)
Cuatro muñecas creadas a imagen y semejanza de Maricel Álvarez. Cuatro personajes que encarnó en años recientes de su carrera teatral, en las obras Dolor exquisito (2008-2009), Hécuba o el gineceo canino (2011-2012), Orlando. Una ucronía disfórica (2017) y Medea meditativa (2022). Cuatro “sí mismas”, exhibidas en escena junto a la actriz. Cuatro poéticas, cuatro textos, cuatro experiencias creativas, revisitadas en un ensayo performático acerca de su práctica artística y su búsqueda personal.
En la pieza se evocan textos de Walt Whitman, Sophie Calle, Emilio García Wehbi, Ricardo Ibarlucía y Pascal Quignard.

Spregelburd/Zypce: NADA MÁS VIEJO [NOTHING OLDER]
The planned tribute to Rafael Squirru will not be able to take place. The historian tasked with gathering together his thoughts, life story and work has just died in a baffling incident at the racecourse, leaving no time to reorganise the evening. A pair of folk musicians, booked to provide the music for the event, have also just sent a statement, along with apologies and explanations that no one asked for. We will celebrate, in a patriotic gesture, the oldest things in the world: modernity and the avant-garde.
In the absence of a museum and without a wealthy bourgeoisie to support the idea that our national art was ready to compete at the forefront of the avant-garde, Rafael Squirru loaded some paintings onto a ship – the Yapeyú – and set sail on 28 September 1956 for the first world tour of the Muestra flotante de 50 artistas argentinos [Floating Exhibition of 50 Argentinian Artists]. Squirru wrote on the occasion: “Some will smile when they see the obvious influences of Picasso, Klee or Mondrian; they will strive to find a folkloric touch in them and will be disappointed by the almost total absence of gauchos in wide-brimmed hats, beautiful young ladies, or picturesque Indians. So you will not see, gentlemen, what you expect to see from us. That is our fate. The captain of the Yapeyú will give his version of events, while the facts refuse to be recounted in a single way.

The sensational theatre group Piel de Lava – consisting of Elisa Carricajo, Valeria Correa, Pilar Gamboa and Laura Paredes – rewrites the unforgettable history in the 1980s underground scene of Las Gambas al Ajillo, a group of actresses who helped redefine Argentinian theatre and became prominent figures of the Buenos Aires scene.

Mariana Obersztern / Agustina Muñoz
Actriz. Moderno. Periferia. [Actress. Moderno. Periphery.]
Within the framework of the cycle Exposiciones en Cartel [Exhibitions on Display], which is part of the Public Programmes accompanying the Museo Moderno’s 2025 programme Esto es Teatro [This is Theatre], artists Mariana Obersztern and Agustina Muñoz present their performance piece Actriz. Moderno. Periferia [Actress. Moderno. Periphery.], creating a dialogue with the exhibitions presented throughout the year.
“The actress takes to the stage from a distant corner of the room. She enters, overwhelmed by the many emotions she seems to have bundled up within herself, waiting for the moment to arrive when she can finally unpack them. Everything she has kept inside gathers energy and, once unpacked, that is precisely what it releases: it returns to the air all that has been concentrated within, like chains of carbon. The actress bursts in like a whirlwind, with her arms flung into the air creating wild gesticulations that both throw her off balance and, at the same time, steady her. The circles that unfold around her – an atmospheric effect stirred by her passage through the space – now ground her and transport her, as if she were travelling within the smoke rings given off by a menthol cigarette. The ethereal nature of the rings, as white as they are opaque, perhaps indicate she is enveloped in a fantasy; but this is not the case, for the actress has her feet firmly on the ground.”
