Catalogue of the Argentine entry in the Biennial of San Pablo, 1967.

by Hugo Parpagnoli, Director of the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires –who writes the prologue of the catalogue–; Samuel Paz, curator of the Di Tella, Samuel Oliver, and Fermín Fèvre, a critic at El Cronista Comercial. Silvia Ambrosini was designated Commissioner of the delegation. He enters the following works: Trypthic, Every Day, Frogs in One’s Head, Tribute, Monday Man, Three Versions, Struggle, In fire, In the earth, In the rain, Cavalcade, Ladders and Police Chronicle. Meanwhile, Renart takes part in Integralismo Bio-Cosmos N° 5. Lamelas’s work –a primitive structure– is distinguished with one of the ten prizes that the biennial was awarding, apart from the Gran Premio Itamaratí.

The explicit sexual references of Three Versions, raise resentment and cause such a scandal that an official of the Biennial requests for the work to be withdrawn. Distéfano decides to leave the contest, with the support of Renart, and Julio Le Parc –special guest of the show– who adopt a similar attitude. Under pressure, it is decided to keep the integrity of the Argentine shipment.
