Fundación Proa

Last weekend we visited the exhibition space Fundación Proa in the it's-better-not-to-walk-around-there-too-much-as-we-were-told neighborhood La Boca and the exhibition "Art in the auditorium" organized by the Whitechapel Gallery in London. The Proa seems to be one of Buenos Aires' most interesting spaces for cutting-edge contemporary art. In this exhibition it shows a couple of videos (some of them documentary style) from international artists addressing topics like jeans fabrication in Turkey, the destroyed life of a revealed CIA agent, an interview with Noam Chomsky that is presented as monologue episodes addressing interesting global and philosophical issues with the expected provocative tone. The impressive architecture of the PROA building with a roof terrasse overlooking the old harbor added to the thrill and overall value of this trip.
