SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

Argentina and the rest of Latin America countries are a land of a peculiar artistic richness. Although it took some time to accept the breaks produced by the European avant-garde and, in particular, the changes introduced by Marcel Duchamp. Once this new way of producing generates a discourse the result is highly original.
