Alejandra Seeber | Leda Catunda
«Two of a kind» | Group show
Fundación Malba, Buenos Aires (AR)

Exhibition:
February 19 – August 9, 2021 

This exhibition «Two of a kind» at Fundación Malba showcases a dialogue between two Latin American artists, who are united by their work and in their desire to redefine painting. Both are highly skilled painters and integrate urban culture, modern art, design and nature into their art. Alejandra Seeber (*1968, Buenos Aires, based in New York) and Leda Catunda (*1961, São Paulo) both absorb their entire surroundings into their work.


The rare beauty of their works can be found somewhere in the layers of their canvases, between the brushstrokes and the color fields. Sharing the ability to reveal such an aesthetic connects the artists even though the works in the show represent different cultural scenes and times. Of both artists, Fundación Malba will show both historic as well as contemporary paintings, sketches, studies and documents – with a strong focus on a genesis occurring in the 1980s and 1990s in the case of Catunda and in the late 1990s in Seeber’s work.

Within the framework of the exhibition, a public program of talks, workshops, and activities will be developed to think about the artistic models and discourses that were crucial in this genealogy of contemporary art.

Curator: Francisco Lemus
