Centro Sur is an artistic organization aiming to promote intercultural and transcontinental collaborations between artists, institutions and users from various provenances in an active dialogue with Buenos Aires.
I, Centro Sur, am an artistic-curatorial entity founded on a dynamic, permeable, international,
meta-institutional model. I was born from the desire to design a counter-institutional structure capable of hosting artists from different backgrounds, in a proactive and anti-contemplative environment, in dialogue between the Center and the south. I am an alternative entity, founded on operations, curatorial strategies,
and cultural interpolations that aim to move unprecedented flows towards new destinations, as well as to promote collaborations and cohabitations between artists and the local community.
I am in constant dialogue with my city, Buenos Aires, and its inhabitants; I represent the possibility of creating a mobile and engaging organism for the public, artists, and artworks—which are considered living objects here. I propose to promote continuous interaction between the local and the global, the near and the far, transforming the solitary and individualistic artistic experience into a collaborative process.
My work is based on and developed from what we might call local-delocalized production: a centersouth practice, with south at its center, or at south from the center which involves us as an autochthonous organization that is constantly repositioning itself, in dialogue with the context, the surroundings, the world... I am preparing to welcome a group of international artists to involve them in an educational exchange with my constituent materials, my soil, the artists of the city and my territory, the porteño community.
For this purpose, I am committed to learning a new language, one that is universal and generous,
to connect different influences, cultures, and research without standardizing or coercively comparing,
but rather tracing possible patterns and points of convergence.
Centro Sur invites remote cities to reevaluate the intercultural and intermedia dialogue that artistic fields can activate. Being far from the center offers the possibility of implementing different perspectives: possessing an empowering freedom, articulating conditions for dialogue with the utopia of reality.
Art can anticipate unpredictable futures, and the global flow is enriched by the creation of liminal entities dedicated to international distribution; spaces that, above all, welcome located projects in participatory environments and not limited to the reception of works or, conversely, the export of local productions. Interaction with the artistic agency will encourage the development of revolutionary intelligence, science, and methodologies that respond to the desire for life in the suburbs.
The organism that inspires us is the city. Its labyrinthine vitality serves as inspiration for the consolidation of our flexible and mobile structure in constant transformation, a metaphor for the urban circuit. The container architecture will abandon its imposing forms to become an active, pulsating body.
