Small Museums III...

9:54 a.m.

This small museum, housed in a loft in Palermo, displays the work of Eduardo Pla (Buenos Aires 1952- 2012). Pla developed most of his career in Europe, but, in the last days of his life, he returned to Buenos Aires and opened a spaced that worked as atelier, meeting point and exhibition room. After his death, his family decided to transform it into a small museum.

Two small floors are enough to submerge visitors in the world of the artist. The lower floor is organised around the artwork Pla presented at the 2007 Venice Biennial: Reflejos y Transparencias, a huge Murano glass sculpture that invades most of the room. Around it, a variety of works in different mediums. Pla's artistic career, according to himself, can be divided into three periods: the first one, analogical, was the one of the videos; the second, digital, where the computer was his main tool and, finally, the expanded period, in which he used the computer only as an instrument of projection.

Icons of showbiz and Argentine History border the tiny stairs that lead to the upper floor, and here we are faced with a new panorama: his last works, those of geometric abstraction, which invade the room, in a game of comings and goings through visual perception.
