Locals and tourists who come to<br>spend the weekend at the beach drone on about the peacefulness of nature, marvel at the<br>beautiful paths the creatures trace through the clear sky, and drink mate while they drop bread<br>crumbs for them to peck. It\u2019s so annoying. Pointless to tell them that the birds aren\u2019t what they<br>seem, it\u2019d be obvious if only they looked properly into those mad, desperate eyes pleading for<br>freedom. \u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mariana Enriquez<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Mildred Burton has written a grand story of images and bequeathed to us the possibility of<br>understanding fantasy as a means of being ironic and critical at the same time. She left us a<br>distinctive way of playing with ideas that allows us to move beyond the borders of the same old<br>solutions. We must learn from Mildred\u2019s ability to plot the course of animals, flora and nature:<br>it will place us on a better footing for the future. \u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Marcos Kr\u00e4mer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exhibition&nbsp;<em>Mildred Burton: National Fauna<\/em>&nbsp;opened at the Museo de Arte Moderno<br>de Buenos Aires on 27 February 2020.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9844,"template":"","class_list":["post-9843","libros","type-libros","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/libros\/9843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/libros"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/libros"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/libros\/9843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
