ART CURATOR
Art Curator of the independent exhibition Opuntia ficus-indica by the artist Carmen Bertorello at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Rio Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina (2022)
Opuntia ficus-indica is the search and direct contact with the known territory, the recovery by attraction to discarding and then the decontextualization and selection of fragments found from a series of stems of "Opuntia ficus-indica", which begins and tells the story of this experimental work and interdisciplinary.
Opuntia ficus-indica transits during the dialogue with the context and the found object, which fell due to maturity, ignored, apparently invisible, in the process of decomposition and in the form of a skeleton to photography, digital drawing, contemporary engraving, and botanical prints with natural dyes; expansive surfaces that present experimentation with the object, leaving its mark and texture to build a new landscape.
The action of experiencing the transformation, marks presence in each part of the process and it is between the tumult, the disorder and the process of calm, order and selection, where the expression of the hidden in the story itself occurs.

MUDA DE ROPA
Art Curator of the independent exhibition Muda de Ropa by the artist Carmen Bertorello at the Casa de la Cultrua in Rio Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina (2022)
It seems that the passage of time is evident when the beginning of a new stage appears.
How to overcome the vertigo to achieve what awaits?
Between fabric skins and embroidered connections Carmen Bertorello builds garments that present change, that transition to the uncertain. The old, the costume that alludes to what has been experienced, memories and what has been apprehended. The transition in fragments that allow us to glimpse recent and at the same time veiled skin to reach the next: a wardrobe that alludes to birth and waiting for the unknown. The journey through each corporeality extends on the walls by highlighting what is treasured, the vestiges of the body changing in experiences.
When change flourishes and the new waits, the artist celebrates. This exhibition invites us to contemplate a process of self-discovery, reminding us that each moment of change is an opportunity to let go and let fall to receive what is to come with a new skin.
PASO CONTINUO
Art Curator of the independent exhibition Paso Continuo by the artist Regina Prado Bartes at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásicas in Guatemala (2024)
Time, a complex and interesting concept that seems to be understood only with questions. This exhibition proposes an approach to this through images that evoke asynchronous moments from the past of Regina Prado de
Batres that together make up a new work that manages to alter the passage of time.
“(…) In the vicinity of a very massive body like (...) a black hole, time slows down and at the event horizon, (...) time as we know it stops, because a body at Falling into that singularity acquires infinite mass and travels at the speed of light (…)”
(Quotes Einstein in Diana Aisenberg's Art Stories)
How massive can history itself be that in its entirety it manages to distort the flow of time?
The work is a journey of life episodes that build a record, trace and evidence of a totality, giving rise to a parallel time, outside of itself, dilated and transformed: the synthesis of the artist's life. The very memory of the different events, called history for her, are instances in which time stops in memory.
Continuous Step, proposes an active look that seeks contemplation in the stillness of each work from a layout that tensions the line of vision, alluding to the rhythm and movement, of the artist's incessant curiosity.
