Changing Places / Espacios Revelados

  • Federico Ortiz
In the XVIII century a Spanish ship sunk in the port of Buenos Aires. While the foundations for a real estate development were being dug, the ship was found in 2010. For the international art festival Changing Places/Espacios Revelados the artist Magdalena Arau created “The invention of the ship is the invention of the shipwreck” a live performance-installation that revealed the story of the boat. As an exhibition assistant I worked on its staging in three locations (an archaeological site, a bunker, and a tower), producing models and drawings.
