Factum/Fiction: Viviana Zargon exhibition at Aluna Art Foundation

Aluna Curatorial Collective will reopen its space dedicated to photography, with a solo exhibition by Argentinean artist Viviana Zargon. With the title Factum/Fiction: Viviana Zargon's show will be open until July 31 and gathers an important group of recent photographs by Zargon. Aluna Art Foundation inaugurated new headquarters in Little Havana, Miami last April. The space is conceived as a center for art and culture, with the aim to generate new dynamics in the sector and in the city. Continuing its vocation to promote a dialogue around key themes of art and society in the contemporary world, the space of almost 4000 square feet will house three separate independent art exhibitions. In Viviana Zargón's artworks the borders are changeable and the viewer confuses the lines between fiction and reality, and between photography and painting, even if there are signs that warn of mimetic illusion that leads us to question the act of representation and its subjective social crossings. In the sixties, Gerhard Richter had already thrown us to a gray area where painting is dominated by photography and replicated it in fascinating portraits. But in the fictional paintings of old industries that Zargon installs, the lie of the representation reaches the status of an ontological truth: it reveals the fading out of the great stories of progress and frustration of what was not accomplished for those who live in the XXI century. What remains is the conceptual and visual pleasure of the deconstructions and the space of imagination that expands the reality through the potential of our fictions. As Richter once said, "The ability to believe is our outstanding quality, and only art adequately translates it into reality."
