Liliana Porter Travesía — Conversación inaugural

As a prelude to the opening of Liliana Porter's "Travesía"—an exhibition offering a retrospective of her extensive career that began in the 1960s—the artist will participate in a conversation with curator Agustín Pérez Rubio and Rodrigo Moura, artistic director of MALBA, in a pre-opening event. The exhibition offers a journey through the different stages of Porter's career and the multiple layers of meaning that permeate her work. It includes everything from her graphic works and collaborations with The New York Graphic Workshop (1964–1970) to projects that move from painting to narrative, from geometry to materiality, and from literature to the construction of stories. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 📅 Opening and Streaming: Friday, July 11 – 6:00 PM (ARG) 📍 MALBA Auditorium + Live Stream 🔗 Registration: https://www.malba.org.ar/evento/conve... ℹ️ Free activity with prior registration.

She studied at the Manuel Belgrano National School of Fine Arts and, in 1958, traveled to Mexico to study printmaking at the Universidad Iberoamericana. In 1964, she moved to New York, where she attended the Pratt Graphic Art Center. Together with Luis Camnitzer and José Guillermo Castillo, she founded the New York Graphic Workshop, and in 1967 they formulated the concept of FANDSO (free assemblage, non-functional, disposable, serial object). In 1971, she participated in the creation of the Museo Imaginario Latinoamericano (Museum of the Latin American Imaginary), conceived as a museum without walls and in contrast to the Center for Inter-American Relations (CIR). In 1977, she co-founded and taught printmaking at the Camnitzer-Porter Studio in Lucca, Italy. From 1991 to 2007, she was a professor in the Art Department at Queens College (CUNY). She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1980, among other distinctions. Since her first exhibition in 1959, she has participated in more than 450 exhibitions in 40 countries. Among her most recent exhibitions are those held at El Museo del Barrio (New York), the Pérez Art Museum (Miami), the National Museum of Visual Arts (Montevideo), Ruth Benzacar Gallery (Buenos Aires), and Galerie Mor-Charpentier (Paris), among many others. Her work was part of the traveling exhibition Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 (Brooklyn Museum, Hammer Museum), and in 2017 it was included in Viva Arte Viva, the 57th Venice Biennale. That same year, she premiered her third theatrical production, Taming the Lion and Other Doubts, at the 2nd Performance Biennial (Buenos Aires), and in 2018 she co-directed THEM with Ana Tiscornia at The Kitchen (New York). Her work is part of public and private collections such as MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New York Public Library, Tate Modern, the Reina Sofía Museum, MALBA, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of Fine Arts (Buenos Aires), and the Daros Foundation, among many others. #LilianaPorter #malba #latinamericanart #cityofbuenosaires #artexhibition #opening #argentinianart #journey
