Opening: Thursday August 24th 6pm
The installation Any Exit Can Be a Dead End, part of the series Admissible Tension. Urban Interference by Graciela Sacco, serves as a form of signage, bridging the gap between the urban environment and the river. Displayed in 2011 along the perimeter of Parque de la Memoria in Buenos Aires, this artwork draws a connection to the enclosing fences that typically signify separation, while simultaneously revealing the spaces they divide. In this instance, it both links and divides the urban landscape, that of Parque Independencia, where the expansive river image is presented in juxtaposition with the urban traffic. As the title implies, the piece encourages contemplation on boundaries and the highest level of tension that can be reached just before an outbreak.
