Transhemiférico, Richard Garet and Diego Masi
Curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, the Museo Gurvich presents an unprecedented exhibition in Uruguay: "Transhemispheric Richard Garet-Diego Masi." The show, which will take place from September 16 to November 11, 2022, has been planned in the context of institutional work around the concept of migration.
The show takes the theme from a contemporary perspective based on the experience of the two artists, who, like Gurvich, see their lives and work permeated by migration. According to the director of the Museo Gurvich, Vivian Honigsberg, this is an exhibition that seeks to probe the vital contemporary experience from the concept of "migrating" through symbolic production. The Masi-Garet duo presents itself with a game of crossroads, coincidences of lives, works, and hemispheres. Both were born in Uruguay, Diego Masi, who lives in Montevideo, lived for some time with his family in New York, and Richard Garet lived in Caracas, New York, and Miami, the city where he lives until now. Both work with digital and mechanical works; they recognize themselves as thinking art from the sensorial and, therefore, from the feeling.
Transhemisférico is curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, who is widely recognized (among other works) as co-curator of "Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985", an exhibition that broke new ground and uncovered the extraordinary -but largely unknown or erased- production of experimental works by Latin American women artists.
