Art is one of the most vibrant expressions of a culture. Through art and other forms of expression, a country may allow itself to be recognized beyond its borders. But art is perhaps the most personal medium and at the same time, due to its international language, the most capable for allowing a country to be admired.
Organising the fourth edition of the Art Gallery Fair-arteBA 95, implied not only institutionalizing it, but also giving continuity to a cultural project that artists and galleries look forward to, year after year.
It is worth remarking upon the importance of the participation of the foreign galleries, such as Marlborough Gallery, Annina Nosei Gallery and Associated American Artists from New York, Meza Fine Art and Astrolabe from Miami and Félix from Venezuela, amongst others, which allowed our public to acquaint itself with the works of up-and-coming international artists, while at the same time creating links for promoting and also supporting the publicizing of Argentinean art on an international level.
arte BA 95 presented the display entitled “20 Artists of the Interior”, in order to offer artists from the provinces a possibility of exhibiting their works together with those of recognized Argentinean and international artists.
In the same way, this year the fist edition of VIDEO BA was presented, a competition and festival of videos concerning Argentinean art and culture. The video is an additional way of showing our ideas, our history and customs. VIDEO BA offered an opportunity to Argentinean directors to publicize their audiovisual productions through the competition and promotion offered within the framework of arteBA.
