Paradigm Park, a utopia in action

12/11/2019

The project was born with a group of artists, students and teachers from UNTREF's Electronic Arts Laboratory, to work on the creation of a park in a vacant lot next to the university's Villa Lynch campus.  

From there, throughout numerous meetings, they planned a series of activities that give life to the exhibition, which ultimately results as a platform for various actions and debates around artistic practice. 

"For two months we will cohabit the same building that houses the Eduardo Sívori Museum, initiating a series of collaborations in which to rethink the ways in which contemporary culture relates to the territory, its past and becoming," said the artists, a group formed by Nicolás Bacal, Jerónimo Bujman, Tomás Ciccola, Ariel Cusnir, Rosario Espinoza, Leopoldo Estol, Victoria Papagni, Leonello Zambon and several others. 

The meetings prior to this exhibition took place in a vacant lot annexed to the university's Villa Lynch campus; a territory that the artists themselves baptized as "The Zone" and where there are two oxidized locomotives -mounted one above the other- that functioned as the ready-made on which they projected the activities, sculptures and furniture for the Paradigm Park. 

In the words of its creators, Paradigm Park is "a colony of microorganisms that, in order to survive, must metabolize with the structure that contains it. Adapting, but also slightly pushing these structures towards new forms".  

Among the activities programmed for his stay at the Eduardo Sívori Museum of Plastic Arts are microchats, collaborative works around the "Biblioteca Paradigma" and urgent and instantaneous paper and video editions based on the practices, explorations and conversations carried out.
