BA Museum Review Pt 2: MACBA

April 19, 2016

Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Buenos Aires (MACBA)

The Contemporary Art Museum is right next to MAMBA and it is a great complement to the Modern Museum.  

 

Minimalism is the main motif in MACBA.  'MAC' might as well stand for 'minimal and clean'.

 

While a bit smaller than the other 3 museums we visited, the space was brilliantly curated and aesthetically on point.  The American oak wood floors are begging to be sat on, as evidenced by the pic of Fernanda below.  The ramps connecting the various floors are beautifully spacious, and provide sneak peeks of the art you're about to see. 

 

I loved the work of Magdalena Jitrik, especially this HUGE piece: Orquesta Roja, 2008.  

And the Algunas Chicas photography exhibit by Adriana Lestido was beautiful. 

But, I think my favorite set of work was Leila Tschopp, whose simplicity in form and color was striking.  

Two thumbs up for MACBA.  But, sadly, I think it gets overshadowed by the big MAMBA next door.  :[

Next Museum to be reviewed:

MALBA...
