The exhibition will commemorate the painful chapter in Argentina\u2019s history following the coup d&#8217;\u00e9tat that ushered in the country\u2019s last military dictatorship fifty years ago. The project will include works by major contemporary Argentinian artists who responded to this historic moment with alarm, condemnation, or criticism; artists who embodied the transition from dictatorship to democracy; and artists who continue to denounce the violence that prevails in contemporary societies, particularly physical and psychological violence against women, including femicide in the region. This powerful group of artists invites us to reflect on the civic role of art and its participation in democracy in times of political, social and environmental crisis. As a dialogue between Buenos Aires and Venice, the project is an example of institutional co-operation that reaffirms the importance of disseminating Argentinian art internationally, particularly through participation in this, the world\u2019s longest-running art biennale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This exhibition is made possible thanks to the <\/span><b>generous support of <\/b><b><i>ADCAP GRUPO FINANCIERO<\/i><\/b><b> and leading Argentinian art galleries.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Artists:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Le\u00f3n Ferrari (Buenos Aires, 1920), Luis Pazos (La Plata, 1940\u20132023), Marcelo Brodsky (Buenos Aires, 1954), Luis Camnitzer (L\u00fcbeck, Alemania, 1937), Marta Minuj\u00edn (Buenos Aires, 1943), Gianni Mestichelli (Ascoli Piceno, Italy, 1945), Eduardo Gil (Buenos Aires, 1948), Aldo Sessa (Buenos Aires, 1939), Guillermo Kuitca (Buenos Aires, 1961), Liliana Maresca (Avellaneda, 1951\u20131994), Sergio De Loof (Buenos Aires, 1962\u20132020), La Organizaci\u00f3n Negra (Buenos Aires, 1984), Archivo de la Memoria Trans (Buenos Aires, 2012), Ana Gallardo (Rosario, 1958), Nicanor Ar\u00e1oz (Buenos Aires, 1981), Eduardo Basualdo (Buenos Aires, 1977) and Flavia Da Rin (Buenos Aires, 1978), among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Curated by:<\/b> <b>Victoria Noorthoorn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Director of the Museo Moderno, based on an initiative by <\/span><b>Augusto Maurandi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Founding Director of Spazio Punch, and with the collaboration of <\/span><b>Patricio Orellana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Head of the Curatorial Department at the Museo Moderno\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd79702 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cd79702\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b64c23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b64c23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Spazio Punch \u2013 Fondamenta S.
