La Casa del Naranjo: un bosque en ruinas [Casa del Naranjo: A Forest in Ruins]<\/i>\n<\/h2>\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

Echoing the themes of my recent work, during this residency I propose to study the remains of the now-demolished Casa del Naranjo and investigate the controversy surrounding the expansion of the Museo de Arte Moderno, which occupies the site of the former building, of which only the foundations have been preserved.<\/span><\/p>

I intend to directly engage with the archaeological site, the items that were recovered, and with the alternative projects that were proposed, in which the buildings coexisted. I will also interview those involved in the discovery and excavation, as well as members of the museum’s Conservation Department.<\/span><\/p>

The fact that the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires has been built upon the remains of one of the oldest buildings in the city evokes a multitude of relationships that I am interested in exploring. I would like to take some of the physical aspects of these superimposed buildings \u2013 the doors, windows, tiles, construction techniques \u2013 and, based on these, design a sculptural work that connects them and brings their archetypal symbolism to light.\u00a0 I intend to carve these elements out of wood from the fallen forest of Sierra de la Ventana, using robotic woodworking processes to create an altar-like ensemble.<\/span><\/p>

As Jean Chevalier wrote in his <\/span>Diccionario de los s\u00edmbolos<\/span><\/i> [<\/span>Dictionary of Symbols<\/span><\/i>] (Barcelona, Herder, 1995): \u2018All the architectural lines, all the liturgical gestures, converge towards the altar. It reproduces in miniature the whole of the temple and the universe. It is the place where the sacred is most profoundly concentrated. It also brings together the symbolism of the centre of the world, the place and the moment at which a being becomes sacred through sacrifice.\u2019 In the case chosen for my project, the demolition of the Casa del Naranjo gave way to the expansion of the Museo de Arte Moderno: a new building arose, like a temple on the site of sacrifice.<\/span><\/p>

Perhaps the experience of contemplating the process \u2013 in which history, art and ideology converge \u2013 will foster a process that will provide a reflection of our experience in the face of change, transformation, and our own demise.<\/span><\/p>

My ultimate goal is to be able to present, during 2025, the resulting sculptural work at the site of the ruin and in collaboration with the Museographic and Exhibition Production departments of the Museum. (During 2025).<\/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
