Masters of geometric art...

6:30 p.m.

De la luz a la imagen is the title of the new temporary exhibition now open at the MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires), which offers works by Italian artists Alberto Biasi and Jorrit Tornquist. Examples of Programmata and Kinetic Italian Art, in the 50s, both decide to change the traditional role of the artist for a work based in a scientific method relate to the improvements of their time. They were both interested in generating a dialogue with an observer who enjoys a piece of art not only because of its aesthetic but because he participates in the works through visual perception.

Opcin su tondo, by Alberto Biasi (1962-1998)
Technique: PVC and inset on wood
Observing the work closely, or by slightly moving from left to right, new shapes can be discovered and a hidden magical effect unleashes through the geometric experience.
Gocce e onde, by Alberto Biasi (1998)
Technique: PVC inset on wood
An Argentine artist also used the scientific method to create his works: Raúl Lozza. During the same years that Biasi and Tornquist (the 50s), Lozza made his paints by algorithms related to the expansion of the galaxy.
The MACBA is the result of Aldo Rubino, who began collecting Contemporary and International art by the end of the 80s, keeping a special interest in geometric abstraction.
