About the artist

is a pioneering Argentine visual artist known for her avant-garde, playful, and participatory work. She studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes Manuel Belgrano and the Escuela Nacional Prilidiano Pueyrredón in Buenos Aires. In 1961, she received a scholarship to study in Paris, where she created her first performance, La destrucción (1963). Upon returning to Buenos Aires, she won the Torcuato Di Tella Institute National Award for Revuélquese y viva (1964), her first interactive installation. In 1965, she co-created La Menesunda —a groundbreaking multi-sensory experience—with Rubén Santantonín. A Guggenheim Fellowship took her to New York in 1966, where she collaborated on major media projects such as Simultaneity in Simultaneity (with Allan Kaprow and Wolf Vostell) and Minuphone (1967). Throughout the 1970s, she lived between the U.S. and Argentina, staging iconic happenings and performances such as Interpenning (1972), Kidnappening (1973), La Academia del Fracaso (1975), and Comunicando con tierra (1976). Her work—marked by color, humor, social critique, and ephemeral materials like mattresses and inflatables—has been exhibited worldwide, cementing her place as a major figure in contemporary Latin American art.
