Translations:Graciela Sacco/9/en

In conceptual terms, the cornerstones of Graciela Sacco’s art lie in the notions of “interference”, the limits that separate the public from the private, and the legitimization of art through space and the relationship with its public. “Interference” is the element that stimulates the creation of relationships between the artist’s work and the everyday life of the observer, a lure that causes tension and triggers reflections regarding social and political questions that never lose relevance within a global context. Similarly, and as an heir to Argentinian conceptual art who was influenced by the language of advertising and permeated by the complex circumstances of repressive military dictatorships, Graciela Sacco explored numerous techniques (such as heliography, video and installation) that would enable her to disseminate photographic images obtained in large part from historical archives, the press, television and the internet. Sacco was particularly interested in using and resignifying everyday objects such as spoons, suitcases, tables, boards and knives, alluding to them as carriers of memory and catalysts for thought.
