Gustavo Romano at Gallery Ruth Benzacar
This week we finally had the chance to see the great exhibiton "Time Notes. Mercado de futuros." by the Argentinian artist Gustavo Romano at the contemporary art galery Ruth Benzacar. We met Gustavo recently and had the chance to talk to him about his work and about developments in the field of Netart, in which he has his personal focus. The Time Notes exhibition documents with videos and art objects a series of interactive art events held in the streets in various cities of the world. They are all centered around the subject of lost time and the possibility to get lost time refunded by a time office in form of time bills. The people can tell their wishes to the time office and get as many time bills as necessary. Wishes were, for example, five years for learning to play the guitar, 30 minutes daily to organize my time, the 10 years lost waiting for the right woman, or time to finish school, says a boy who had quit school because he has to work for money. Videos and more information can be found here. We are happy that Gustavo will also show his work in Munich this autumn!
