This dossier covers forty years of Norberto Gómez’s work, from his minimalist constructions of 1966 and 1967 to the anti-monuments he produced in polyester and bronze in the nineties. In between, his series of “guts”, organic remains, weapons and “plasters” punctuate a long career that has enriched the Argentine art scene.

Untitled, 1999
On 9 March, several exhibitions marking the 30th anniversary of at the last military coup open at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, under the umbrella title 30 años. Estéticas de la memoria (“30 Years. Aesthetics of Memory”). There are two works by Gómez: The Fury, from 1978, as part of the show Memoria en construcción (“Memory under Construction”); and Untitled, from 1981, as part of Derechos humanos. Ayer y hoy (“Human Rights. Then and Now”).
A one-man show opens at Juan Ascue’s art gallery on Montevideo street, with 16 drawings made between 1992 and 1999 and 8 plaster sculptures from the 1980s series of architectural reliefs.
