Fernanda Laguna
My Heart Is a Magnet, 1992–2025

Del 13 de marzo al 22 de junio

Floors 1 and -1

Fernanda Laguna is one of the most influential figures in Argentine art of recent decades. Her practice—both diverse and deliberately undisciplined—finds beauty in the everyday and blurs the boundaries between life and creation. Throughout her career, she has moved fluidly between literature, visual arts, activism, and the management of independent spaces, developing a distinctive language in which struggles, desires, generations, and communities converge. This exhibition offers the most comprehensive survey of her work to date through 200 pieces—paintings, drawings, collages, embroideries, sculptures, installations, and videos—alongside notebooks, books of poetry and fiction, and personal photographic material. It is dedicated to independent spaces and publishing initiatives.

Categories: Events calendar, Exhibitions

This retrospective is organized into seven sections that trace the artist’s individual and collective work between 1992 and 2025. It offers, for the first time, a broad overview of a bold and free-spirited body of work that reflected the collective urgency to transform the patriarchal systems of value that shaped artistic debate thirty years ago.

Fernanda Laguna celebrates moments of charm, pain, strangeness, and wonder, dismantling the solemnity of contemporary art in order to reclaim it as a record of the everyday rituals of living. The exhibition sheds light on key moments in a feminist life and highlights how some of the most outspoken and combative genealogies of contemporary feminist activism—now enjoying significant global visibility—emerged in the 1990s from everyday work, collaboration, friendship, fantasy, play, and beauty.

La exposición se presenta en dos salas separadas con cierres en distintas fechas: en el Nivel 1 permaneció abierta hasta el 25 de mayo, mientras que en el Nivel -1, continuó hasta el 22 de junio.

Organized in collaboration with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid.

Fernanda Laguna is a visual artist, writer, curator, and educator. In 1999, together with Cecilia Pavón, she founded the art space and publishing initiative Belleza y Felicidad, active until 2007, and in 2003 opened a branch in Villa Fiorito that remains active today. She is a member of the Ni Una Menos collective and, together with Cecilia Palmeiro, develops the living archive Mareadas en la marea. As a curator, she has participated in around two hundred exhibitions in independent spaces and museums in Argentina and abroad, including the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, and the Argentine Consulate in New York. She received the Beca Kuitca and the Foundation for Arts Initiatives fellowships, and in 2008 launched a project for a secondary school specializing in visual arts in Fiorito, supported by the Fondo Nacional de las Artes. Her work is included in the collections of museums and foundations such as the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, and the Solomon R.
