The group exhibition Punto de Fuga (Lines of Flight) is a celebration and a promise. It’s also a dare. Occupying the light-filled exhibition space of Móvil, a former rubber factory, the exhibition proposes a performative archive of the institution’s decade of programming, a prospective index of what may come, and a manifesto to solidarity. It is as much a celebration of what conspired at Móvil since its inauguration in 2014 as it is a collective affirmation of things to come. It is about what happens when we dare to dream and act, together against all odds.

Punto de Fuga hosts new and recent works by the 21 artists who have shaped Móvil’s site-responsive program and been transformed by the experience: paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and performances as well as lens-based and sound works that provide a rich multisensorial prism into the now. The title evokes the singular role played by Móvil as a refuge for artistic and discursive experimentation—a place granting artists time, space, and support to take risks. It also points to the critical situatedness of Móvil’s project, rooted in a disaffected factory in Parque Patricios and embedded in a constellation of elsewheres: Móvil as an uncontainable operator that leaks and flows, transforming its scene in stealthy yet undeniable ways. Punto de Fuga condenses the centrifugal and centripetal forces that shape a community.  Finally, Punto de Fuga flies in the face of resignation to the purported inevitability of the current restructuring of the world. It wagers that we already have the codes to hack the neo-feudal savagery of post-neoliberalism, and the power to overthrow the dismantling of everything with grace and joy.

Artists: Joaquín Aras, Mercedes Azpilicueta, Joaquín Boz, Elena Dahn, Julián D’Angiolillo, Marina De Caro, Santiago De Paoli, Celina Eceiza, Leopoldo Estol, Benjamín Felice, Mariana Ferrari, Denise Groesman, Jair Jesús Toledo, Irina Kirchuk, Tomás Maglione, Nicolás Mastracchio, Manuel Molina, Leticia Obeid, Lucía Reissig, Sebastián Roque, Nicolás Sarmiento

Co-curators: Alejandra Aguado, Sylvie Fortin, and Solana Molina Viamonte.

About Móvil
Móvil is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to research and experimentation and committed to bringing emerging practices to diverse audiences. Supporting the production and the presentation of risk-taking contemporary art projects, Móvil plays a crucial and unique role in the local and national arts ecology.

Our main objective is to enable artists and curators to conceive and carry out ambitious, new site-related projects that propel their practice and significantly impact their artistic trajectory. Over the years, Móvil has supported artists (financially, logistically, and/or curatorially) to develop and produce projects on a scale previously not available to them. These ambitious projects have, in turn, marked a turning point for the artists, propelling many onto wider stages in South America and beyond.

Móvil operates at cheLa—a non-profit, independent complex for experimentation in art, technology, and community—in the Parque Patricios neighbourhood, and is supported by generous individuals and institutions that share our belief in the power of artists to produce visionary works that impact the way we perceive ourselves and the world.

Special thanks to the cheLa community.
