Kinderspelen. Homage to Eliana Molinelli (first theme) at the Goulding stage, 2004

In June he takes part in Inverted Utopias. Avant–Garde Art in Latin America 1920-1970, a show curated by Mari Carmen Ramírez and Héctor Olea at The Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, with more than 200 works by 67 artists from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Venezuela. Laura Feinsilber, who attentively took in the show, commented on the impact Distéfano’s work had on her:

“I was really moved, and this implies no chauvinism, when I walked into the exhibition and saw works by Antonio Berni, Jorge de la Vega, Luis Felipe Noé, Rubén Santantonín, Alberto Heredia, Juan Carlos Distéfano and León Ferrari everywhere. The works by the last two artists, when they were being installed, and also at the opening, were considered offensive by some, which is surprising – because, in spite of all the horrors we see everyday in the media, and of the fact that we are in the first world, the message and the intention of these art pieces are not easily acceptable.”
