The Museo Moderno presents Daniel Basso\u2019s (Mar del Plata, 1974) first solo exhibition in an Argentinian museum, a series of new works produced especially for the occasion. They express this Mar del Plata artist\u2019s recurring concerns: the bittersweet memory of the Atlantic Coast, the night and its hollow joy, the everyday beauty of commercial design.<\/span><\/p>

With its visually fascinating objects ranging across sculpture, architecture and pure ornamentation, Basso constructs simulacra that are as habitable as they are artificial, infused with a powerful spirit of play. Changes of scale, optical tricks and contrasting textures and colours make his environments a purely fictional game of appearances.<\/span><\/p>

In an original reading of the cultural atmosphere of the 1990s, Basso turns his attention to nightclub d\u00e9cor, the clich\u00e9s of mass tourism and the exaltation of surfaces in order to push the limits of formal eccentricity. The result immerses the visitor in an evanescent setting of sheer illusion.<\/span><\/p>
