A visit that combines images, music and poetry. From her farm in San Miguel del Monte, Isol shares the secrets to the creation of her book\u00a0Mariposa del aire<\/em>\u00a0(Butterfly of the Air<\/em>) in which she illustrated poems by the great Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, accompanied by music from the guitarist Alejo de los Reyes.<\/p>

Mariposa del aire<\/em>\u00a0(Butterfly of the Air<\/em>) was published as part of the Reading Plan run by the Ministry of Education of the City of Buenos Aires in 2019. The video was made in July 2020. The songs were recorded during a concert by Isol at the Library of Congress in July 2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Marisol Misenta<\/strong>, known as Isol (Buenos Aires, 1972), is a well-known illustrator and author with a distinctive personal style full of both candour and irony who has been published in Mexico, Spain, France, Switzerland, Korea, the USA and Argentina. Her first book,\u00a0Vida de perros (A Dog\u2019s Life)<\/em>, was published in 1997, after receiving an Honourable Mention in the Competition \u2018A la orilla del Viento\u2019, organized by the Fondo de Cultura Econ\u00f3mica de M\u00e9xico. She went on to publish books she authored herself and to illustrate texts by other writers such as Jorge Luj\u00e1n and Paul Auster. Her book\u00a0Petit, el monstruo (Petit the Monster)<\/em>, inspired a children\u2019s cartoon series. She has won several awards including the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award 2013 ALMA (Swedish National Council of Culture) for her career, and a Special Mention as Finalist in the Hans Christian Andersen Awards in 2006 and 2007 (included among the five best illustrators of children\u2019s books in the world) organized by IBBY\/International Board of Books for Young People, Switzerland. She was also nominated by the Banco del Libro de Venezuela, a member of the IBBY, for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2008 and was named a Selected Artist by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), USA, for her book\u00a0Tener un patito es \u00fatil (Having a Duckling is Useful)<\/em>\u00a0featuring in its prestigious annual and the exhibition “AIGA 50 Books\/50 Covers 2007” for its concept and design.<\/p>

Alejo de los Reyes<\/strong>\u00a0is very active on both the popular Argentine music scene (especially Argentine tango) and as a classical guitarist. His career began at the age of eleven when he first played in his home town of Chivilcoy (Argentina), and has taken him all over Argentina, Spain, Switzerland and Italy. Stand out concerts include his work for the Les jeudis de la guitare and Amarcordes cycles (Switzerland), and those for the \u2018Andr\u00e9s Segovia\u2019 Foundation and the \u2018Jos\u00e9 Luis Romanillos\u2019 String Instrument Association (Spain). As leader of his own group, Cuarteto De los Reyes, he recorded two albums accompanying the singers Rub\u00e9n Llaneza (singer for the Joaqu\u00edn Do Reyes orchestra in the 1950s) and Paula Serrano. He also recorded two more as a member of the trio Fulanos de Tal. In 2011, he recorded his first album as a soloist,\u00a0Tierra querida (Beloved Land)<\/em>, featuring his versions of classic tangos for solo guitar. In 2017 he released his second album,\u00a0Sobretarde<\/em>\u00a0(RGS Music), dedicated entirely to the work of Abel Fleury, the iconic Argentine guitarist and composer.<\/p>

Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca<\/strong>\u00a0(Fuente Vaqueros, 5 June 1898-Road from V\u00edznar to Alfacar, Granada, 18 August, 1936) was a Spanish poet, playwright and writer. A member of the generation of 27, he was the most influential and popular Spanish poet of the 20th century. He is considered one of the best Spanish playwrights of the 20th century along with Valle-Incl\u00e1n and Buero Vallejo. He was murdered after the Coup D\u2019Etat that began the Spanish Civil War. His poetry combines popular and elite traditions.<\/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<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1933, the Dutch historian Johan Huizinga suggested in his book Homo ludens that play is an essential, foundational element in the generation of a culture (albeit not sufficient on its own).<\/p>

Art and play might be considered two sides of the same coin: they\u2019re both processes by which we lend meaning to our passage through life. The history of humanity itself could be read as a playful\/creative project in which new worlds are constructed and reality transformed through work with different materials.<\/p>

These processes raise an endless number of questions but they include the following: How much of the creative process of artists is play? How do the emotions we experience during childhood seep into our adult realities? In both play and art, adults and children are on a level playing field. In both, we immerse ourselves in experimentation that can transform our reality, that opens up free, liberated spaces in which to explore our dreams and identity. Art and play break down our prejudices about knowledge, giving it new meaning, confronting us with the absurd, the unexpected and the impossible from a position that leaves us feeling renewed. Art and play are both rights with which we must fully engage as we construct our worlds. And perhaps now more than ever it is essential that we indulge in them if we are to find a creative response to adversity.<\/p>

The artwork that provided the spark of inspiration for these unusual winter holidays is Nube elefante (Colourful Elephant), the colourful plasticine installation by the artist Mauro Koliva, from Misiones, which featured in the exhibition A History of the Imagination in Argentina, presented in the Moderno\u2019s galleries in 2019. In it strange and fascinating creatures \u2013 which the artist gave the feel of the Paran\u00e1 riverscape \u2013 stimulate our senses and invite us to unleash our imagination and playfulness.<\/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<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The set of comics that are developed in Vito Ver and Vito Ver\u00e1 were carried out by Ernesto Ballesteros since 1984. To celebrate the presence of the artist at the 56th Venice Biennale, in 2015 the Modern Museum held a publication that brings together an important set of these pieces. Today we invite go through the pages of this book and zoom in on one of the guiding forces of Ballesteros’ artistic work: his interest in making visible unseen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ernesto Ballesteros (1963) is a plastic artist. He attended the Prilidiano School of Fine Arts Pueyrred\u00f3n between 1983 and 1986 but his training was essentially self-taught, in the workshops by Ernesto Murillo, Alberto Bruzzone, Jorge Melo and Juan Doffo. Since 1983 participates in collective and individual exhibitions in Argentina and abroad. He was selected for the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 and for La Biennale de Lyon in 2011. The nature of his work has led to involvement in extra-artistic fields such as comics, astrophotography and indoor model aircraft.<\/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<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
