Adriana Sposito is an Argentinean printmaker who came to Buenos Aires to do a full production micro-Residency in our workshop. Through the small format and overlapping of images, symbols and colors, Sposito set out to investigate the triple nature of the universe, the dynamic interaction between its three aspects: the manifest, the hidden, and the individual, moving between them.

The development of the being in relation and tension with the physical, which follows the organic rhythm of the vital impulses on the one hand and the intangible, the cosmic, spiritual, on the other. This triadic relationship establishes the principle of thirdness, as an odd, open, rotating system that works within the mind; a principle that implies birth, death and constant renewal. The intention is to overcome dualities, to break with the Western binary dialectic and to advocate discernment by establishing a principle of uncertainty conducive to decision-making.

Sposito concretizes these ideas through the integration of plans and images of diverse nature into supports of complex formats that invite an expanding journey. The human figure as well as any other natural element expresses the organic, chaotic, living aspect. The archeometer expresses the astronomical periodicity unrelated to any living pulsation. Symbols are attempts to unite opposites within the psyche.

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.
