Until May 31st
Ernesto Ballesteros, Eduardo Basualdo, Delia Cancela, Chiachio & Giannone, Marina De Caro, Ana Gallardo, Sebastián Gordín, Carlos Herrera, Jorge Macchi, Francisca Rey, and Mariana Telleria are participating in the exhibition. Inspired by the anthropology of migration and the philosophy of finitude, it brings together a selection of artists who deconstruct farewells to transform them into language and symbol. The works function here as “fireflies”: flashes that resist oblivion and shape our identity in the interval between what is abandoned and what survives as memory.
“Hard to Say Goodbye” offers a sensitive reflection on the processes of farewell, transformation, and loss. Through a collection of works and an installation conceived specifically for the space, the exhibition constructs a journey that addresses the notions of emptiness, permanence, and transit, inviting the public to an experience that is more perceptual than narrative.
The exhibition articulates spatial, architectural, and symbolic dimensions, using the space as an active element of the curatorial narrative. The journey emphasizes pauses, distances, and silences, generating an atmosphere of introspection where the works engage in dialogue with one another and with the visitor’s body. The project highlights the unstable and the transitory, reinforcing the idea that every farewell implies a reconfiguration of the place being left behind and the one being occupied.
Curated by Daniel Fischer, the exhibition is conceived as an open-ended, non-conclusive experience, in which the curation accompanies the works without limiting their meanings. The project invites the public into a space of personal resonance, where the intimate and the collective intertwine, offering a poetic reflection on time, absence, and the difficulty inherent in every act of separation.
