Libro de Artista en Galería Prima

On April 28th ProyectArte’s Prima Gallery innaugurated an exhibition of artist books curated by distinguished Argentine artist Juan Carlos Romero. ProyectArte graduates participating in the exhibit include Iván Enquin, Mercedes Peñalba, Julieta Orliacq, Gonzalo Maciel, Damian Stendelis, Julian Pesce, Rocio Sztrum, Clara Desimone, Florencia Buezas, and Nestor Burgos. These young artists were inspired by a seminar on artist books given by Romero at ProyectArte between November and December  2008.
Over 100 people came out for the opening, including well-known artists such as Mariano Sapia and Ernesto Pesce, as well as celebrities such as model Raquel Mancini.
“The artist book exists only when it is conceived not only as a book,” said Juan Carlos Romero. “There are many attributes that give each work a sense of play and interaction. When you can touch, see, smell, turn, break and feel each work of art, then the artist book is a work of art.”
