Fuera de Serie, Malba, Leda Catunda /Alejandra Seeber

Fuera de serie translates:  One of a Kind This exhibit showcases a dialogue between two Latin American artists, who are united by their work and in their desire to redefine painting. Both are highly skilled painters and integrate urban culture, modern art, design and nature into their art. Leda Catunda (1961, São Paulo) and Alejandra Seeber (1968, Buenos Aires, based in New York) create works that absorb everything from their surroundings. Curated by Francisco Lemus, the exhibition brings together images of rare beauty that emerge through layers of fabrics, brushstrokes, and altered spaces. Following this common thread that connects cultural scenes and different times, the exhibit features historical and recent works, studies, sketches, and documents that highlight the journeys started in the 1980s and 1990s in the case of Catunda, and in the late 1990s for Seeber.

Within the framework of the exhibition, a public program of talks, workshops, and activities will be developed to think about the artistic models and discourses that were crucial in this genealogy of contemporary art.
