From that position, I offer curatorial follow-up for galleries and for individual artists\u2014focused on strengthening conceptual coherence, sharpening decisions, and increasing the exhibition impact of a practice in direct dialogue with contemporary conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My background includes collaborations with Centro Cultural Kirchner, Dos Mares, the Ministry of Culture of Argentina, and the Institut Fran\u00e7ais of Argentina. The follow-up I propose goes beyond artwork selection: it treats curation as an ethical and material practice under the planetary habitability crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is for artists developing a project, preparing an exhibition, or tightening their discourse without flattening their work into a \u201creadable\u201d product. The work is concrete: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conceptual review<\/strong>: refine questions, clarify stakes, build a strong narrative without over-explaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Portfolio \/ dossier \/ text work<\/strong>: structure, editing, tone, and consistency across images, technical sheets, and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Applications strategy<\/strong>: residencies, grants, open calls; positioning, selection logic, and framing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Critical dialogue<\/strong>: feedback sessions that map what the work intends, what it produces, and what it reveals\u2014formally, materially, emotionally, politically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positioning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curating today requires conceptual precision and an ethical stance toward the discourses that shape contemporary art. In my work, anticolonialism, climate justice, queer theory, inter species relations, and ecological crisis are not themes to \u201capply\u201d; they are vectors that structure situated thinking and making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ongoing collaborations and follow-ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have accompanied numerous artists through residencies, independent spaces, and institutional programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Artists in Residence at Dos Mares, Marseille (2015\u2013present):<\/strong><br>Sebasti\u00e1n Mira (CO), Cloe Beaugrand (FR), Fabiola Carranza (CR), Stefan Klein (DE), N\u00e9stor Padre, Kevin Pellecer (Guatemala), Daniela Bojorquez (Mx), Laura Qui\u00f1onez (CO), Miguel Beleza (Anngola), Luc\u00eda Flores Curiel (UY), Pablo Marte (ES), Uji Hahan (Indonesia), Jessica Quispe Tenorio (Peru), among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Artists that had been in curatorial follow-up or exchanges:<\/strong><br>Gabriel Baggio, Florencia Levy, Claudia Fontes, La Intermundial Holobiente, Virginia Buitr\u00f3n, Margarita Garc\u00eda-Faure, \u00c9rica Bohm, Julia Padilla, Artes Visuales del Jaguar, Guadalupe Miles, Mariana Teller\u00eda, Iconoclasistas, Julien Charpentier, Daniela Stubb-Levi, Albane Lamoril, Mezli Vega, Nicola Noemi Coppola, Karina Juarez Tinoco, Benjamin Mouly, Claire Chassot, Marion Ellena, Gayatri Kodikal, Livia Melzi, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t hesitate to reach me if you have further questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My artistic and curatorial practice sits at the intersection of critical thought, ecology, inter-species relations, and material justice.
