Outstanding artists from around the world took with their works the Buenos Aires Museum of Immigration, where the Biennial of Contemporary Art of South America (Bienalsur) established the Zero Kilometer of a series of actions that it develops in the five continents, and they expose until December a fortnight of parallel exhibitions.

"Art to think the new reason for the world", with works from the contemporary art collection of the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, is the biggest proposal of Bienalsur in the old Immigrant Hotel (Antarctica Argentina 1355), and brings together works ranging from the Americans Zoe Leonard and Allan Sekula, passing through the Spaniards María Ruido, Pedro Romero and Joaquim Jordá; even the Australian Inés Djoujak.

Curated by Manuel Borja-Villel, Christina Chamber, Beatrice Herraez, Lola Hinojosa and Rosario Peiró at the exhibition “reflects on neoliberalism as a rationality that goes beyond economics and affects personal life, an autonomous territory that marks our lives based on competition and transcends geographies”, explained House.

This exhibit “is a kind of extract from a larger sample presented in 2016 at the Reina Sofía -added Hinojosa-. The selected artists question contemporaneity in the last 20 years, a period long enough to glimpse what political-social processes have taken place and how artists react and function in the face of these realities”.
