To Reduce the Distance
Akiko Keira

TO REDUCE THE DISTANCE
Akiko Keira, first artist in residence from Japan at ´ace, is an artist who lives and transits the spaces in which she is with a very acute sensibility, highlighting its atmospheres and spirits. During her time in Buenos Aires, she worked in the Políglota Room at ´ace and during the February 2018 Open Studio we were able to enjoy her installation, listen to her talk about her production process and participate with a gift that each one received.

Akiko made connections between Japan and Argentina as well as with Finland, where she made an artistic residency in the past. We could see skies with that seemed to be the same but they belonged to each one of those different places that the artist had traveled to. Her passage through the city of Buenos Aires, thanks to her patient contemplation, made us know new points of interest and visualize common places with a more aesthetic look.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
