EDUARDO COSTA

on MEDIA, CONCEPT AND LANGUAGE

Tape Poems, 1969. Edited by Eduardo Costa and John Perrault. Participating: Vito Acconci, Michael Benedikt, Scott Burton, Ted Castle & Leandro Katz, Eduardo Costa, John Giorno, Joseph Ceravolo, Dan Graham, Bernardette Mayer, John Perreault, Anne Waldman, Lewis Warsh, Hannah Weiner. Ed. of 30. Stereophonic Tape.

Cosmocosa presents a selection of five -or more- seminal works in Eduardo Costa’s conceptual practice.

The exhibition is centered around Eduardo Costa’s production in New York, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, from 1969 through the 2000’s, and his exploration on different media: Names of Friends: A Poem for the Deaf-mute (video), Tape Poems, (sound), A piece that is… (text), the Duchamp/Costa Bicycle and the Self referential electric weave (useful art), until his Volumetric Paintings (the medium of paint itself).

The exhibition also presents a vast array of Costa’s archive and bibliographical holdings, where these works appear as key turning points in both international and Latin American conceptual circuits from the late 60’s onwards.

“Five Museum Pieces” offers the public the opportunity to appreciate in a single exhibition space works that are disseminated around the world in museum collections such as MoMA (New York), Guggenheim (New York); and previously exhibited at Colección Jumex (México), Fundación Proa (Buenos Aires) and MAMBA (Buenos Aires), among others.

The exhibition is on view through August 7th, 2015.
Wed-Fri, 14- 19 hs.
Montevideo 1430, PB.
Buenos Aires.

FAIVOVICH & GOLDBERG, A GUIDE TO CAMPO DEL CIELO

Meteorit “El Taco”, 2010, edition of 7 + 2 A/P, variable media and size.

In 2006, Guillermo Faivovich (b.1977) and Nicolás Goldberg (b.1978) began collaborating on A Guide to Campo del Cielo, an ongoing project that revolves around researching the cultural impact of the Campo del Cielo meteorites by studying, reconstructing, and reinterpreting their visual, oral, and written history, aiming to identify it’s historical and contemporary problematics. In 2007, they conceived a 3D stamp depicting the 37-ton “El Chaco”, second largest meteorite on Earth, which was issued by Argentina’s Postal Service. In 2010, the Faivovich & Goldberg exhibition Meteorit „El Taco” was held at Portikus, Frankfurt, where the two main masses of El Taco were reunited, after almost forty-five years of being apart. On occasion of this exhibition, the book The Campo del Cielo Meteorites –Vol 1: El Taco, was edited by dOCUMENTA (13) and Hatje Cantz, including a foreword by Daniel Birnbaum and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. In 2011, the artists participated in the spring lecture series in the MIT program in Art, Culture and Technology “Collision 2: When Artistic and Scientific Research meet”, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and are currently developing a future stage of their project for dOCUMENTA (13), that will be held in Kassel, Germany, during the summer of 2012.
