Starting this Tuesday, August 2, until Saturday, August 6, Pinta Sud invites tours of 18 galleries:
Current Art, Artistic, Art Space, BGN/Arte, Casa Mayor, Del Rey, Expressions, Fuga Centro, Factory Gallery/Art Club, Fuga Villa Morra, Exahedro Gallery, Matices Gallery, Pablo Ávila and Martha Manchini Gallery.
In addition, Latin American Art Home Gallery, Multiarte, Planta Libre, Verónica Torres Art Collection and Viedma Arte. Additionally, the Tranvía 13 project space will open its doors to the general public.
This circuit takes place under the title of Gallery Night, a tour of different art galleries in the city of Asunción.
During the week, visits can be made to exhibitions at the CAV/Museo del Barro, the Migliorisi Foundation, the Sacred Art Museum, the Texo Foundation, the Juan de Salazar Cultural Center of Spain and the Citibank Cultural Center.
“Both galleries and museums and, in general, all art spaces, whatever their nature, play the important role of activating artistic production, disseminating it and making it circulate. What we call the art system is a complex circuit, with a multitude of agents whose actions guide the discourse of art in various directions. Everything is intertwined in a very lively plot that even integrates the exercise of dissent”, commented Adriana Almada, central curator of Pinta Sud ASU.
