A Documentary Look at the Work and Thoughts of Artists in the Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Buenos Aires Over the course of my collaboration from April 2020 to November 2021, I had the opportunity to delve into the minds and creations of various artists whose works are exhibited in or are part of the Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Buenos Aires. Through interviews and archival materials, I crafted a series of episodes that capture the essence of their thoughts and artworks. This selection showcases more than two dozen episodes that provide a glimpse into the diverse perspectives and creative processes of these artists. From exploring their inspirations to understanding their artistic philosophies, each episode offers a unique insight into the world of contemporary art. Through the lens of documentary filmmaking, I aimed to shed light on the rich tapestry of ideas and expressions that make up the museum's collection. By highlighting the voices and visions of these artists, I hope to inspire viewers to engage with art in a meaningful and thought-provoking way.
With a portfolio spanning from March 2019 to June 2021, showcasing works and documentation from the Multimedia Arts program at the University of Palermo, MINImaxVj's creations stand as a testament to the enduring power of art to provoke, inspire, and transform.
