Buenos Aires Calendar: April 2011

Art Exhibition: Louise Bourgeois in Proa From Tuesdays to Sundays 11 am – 7 pm.
“The return of the repressed” curated by Philip Larratt-Smith, is organized in conjunction with the Louise Bourgeois Studio in New York and the Instituto Tomie Ohtake in Sao Pablo, Brazil, and is supported by Tenaris, both for its presentation in Argentina and its tour in Rio de Janeiro and San Pablo. Her famous hanging pieces, pendants on a string, show the fragility, the delicacy of the events, demonstrating the ambivalence between the exterior world and the interior world of the subject.
