More about the art
Ya estoy de vuelta pero I will still write about the last couple of days of the trip. For me la semana del arte ended on the Friday, but I saw in the paper that on Saturday part of a main street downtown BA was closed and huge rolls of papers went down each lane to be filled with children's artwork.

On Thursday I went to see the MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires). It was a little smaller than I expected and not as exciting as the art tours. I enjoyed the benches that unravelled wood like wool up an over several floors of the gallery. The Enredamaderas were created by Pablo Reinoso and were quite fun. By far the best piece to me was the short video called 'White Suit' by Miguel Angel Rios. The film shows a dancer in a white suit twirling modified 'boleadoras' (a rope used to catch cattle only this time with pieces of meat on each end) and being barked at by a group of hungry dogs. The Flamenco like dance is impressive as is the statement about hunger, power, and inequality in the world.

My last art tour was in the Belgrano area and highlights included the stories told by the director of the Marier gallery, the playful environmental artwork by Cristina Le Mehauté, and the impressive chaman themed plastic bottle creations by Edgardo Nelson Rodriguez.
