Distéfano’s work would be included, as well as Deira’s, de la Vega’s, and Macció’s. He states:

“The biennial shows that the national and the international are integrated in this stage of art. Culture has been overcome and another feeling exists. Argentina is today what Switzerland was in the conflagration of the 17. Political, social monsters try to fence men, and it is then when a cry of freedom, of reaction is expressed in the pop stream. This form of expression of Argentine boys says that the pictures are sincere when they are loyal to themselves. That’s why when the painters are more American they are even more universal”.

At the same time, a group of twenty-four young artists develop the Primer Festival Argentino de Formas Contemporáneas (First Argentine Festival of Contemporary Forms), an “anti-biennial” supported by Jorge Romero Brest. Apart from the local organizers– Rodolfo Imaz, Oscar Brandan, María Rosa Roca, and Felipe Yofre–, Pablo Suárez, Roberto Jacoby, Eduardo Costa, and Lea Lublin also participate, among others.

Distéfano designs the scenery and the costumes for the play Los Siameses (The Siamese), play written by Griselda Gambaro and directed by Jorge Petraglia, which opening night takes place at the Di Tella Institute’s auditorium.
