The new MALBA exhibit, featuring renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s work, kicks off this weekend promising a full house of art enthusiasts.

The artist, who is known for her ethereal light installations, sculptures, paintings a videos and more, is one of the most famous to come out of the New York avant-garde movement, and for good reason.  Her works deal with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual themes, and presents a unique world of color and infinite lights, influences by minimal, surrealist, expressionist and pop art.

The exhibit opens to the general public on Sunday and will showcase over 100 works from the 50’s to the present day. It will run throughout winter until the 16th of September.  Figueroa Alcorta 3415, Palermo. 4808-6500.

One Table with Hernán Gipponi

Pick Up The Fork

_MG_5117

Maybe I’m spoiled, hard to please, or just turning into one of those irritating food snobs, but rarely do I encounter a truly memorable restaurant dining experience. I’m talking about the big L, the big O, fireworks, a big brass band mind parade, the whole shabang. So imagine my delight when I found out that the capo in the kitchen, famed Argie chef Hernán Gipponi, began organizing a new way to dine on Monday nights at his restaurant in the Fierro Hotel: Hernán, one table, wine flowing like beer, and a feast inspired by seasonal market ingredients.

Fuerzabruta in Buenos Aires

Home Hotel Buenos Aires

Fuerza Bruta 2014 in Buenos Aires

Fuerzabruta is a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion, and kinetic aerial imagery. Featuring mind – blowing visual effects that must be seen to be believed – a man running full throttle through a series of moving walls, women frolicking in a watery world suspended just inches above the audience – Fuerzabruta is a show that floods the senses.

Fuerzabruta, presents the new material and re revisits previous material, giving a new dimension and nature. What no one ever saw, plus all the power of previous shows, and accumulated experience over Fuerzabruta trips around the world.

Starting January 16th, 2014, you can see their show at Centro Cultural Recoleta. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

A  highly recommended show not to be missed. Check the trailer of their last show in Buenos Aires:
