Atchugarry Art Center presents Women Geometers

Saturday, June 29th from 6-9pm Atchugarry Art Center presents the Opening of Women Geometers, an exhibition presenting a revealing dialogue involving twelve pioneers of geometric abstraction in Latin America. The exhibition Women Geometers, organized by the Atchucarry Art Center in association with Piero Atchugarry Gallery and curated by Adriana Herrera, summons and celebrates the creations of a significant group of twelve Latin American pioneers proposing a dialogue that is unique in its genre. The exhibition is on view through September 14, 2019.

The artists gathered in Women Geometers are (in chronological order of birth): Loló Soldevilla (Cuba, 1901-1971), Gego (Germany, 1912- Venezuela 1994), María Freire (Uruguay, 1917-2015), Mira Schendel (Switzerland, 1919- Brazil, 1988), Regina Aprijaskis (France, 1919- Perú 2013), Lygia Clark (Brazil, 1920), Lygia Pape (Brazil, 1927-2004), Zilia Sánchez (Cuba, 1926), Mercedes Pardo (Venezuela, 1921-2005), Lia Bermúdez (Caracas, 1930), Fanny Sanín (Colombia, 1938) and Lydia Okumura (Brazil, 1948). From different visions and multiple inquiries, all these pioneers extended the confines of geometric abstraction both in the aesthetic field and in territories of intersection with realms of knowledge, ranging from mathematics to the philosophy of being and the very connection with the body and the erotic sensitivity.
