The ArtsJuly 2020Conversations between Jesus, Jehovah and Hitler
by León Ferrari
On an empty stage, three of the most furious and relevant figures in the West carry on a conversation about violence, war, hell and God. We are witnessing not only the irate beginning of Judeo-Christian society, but also the invention of threat as a genre. León Ferrari dedicated, between 1999 and 2004, a portion of his enormous creative force to this work, the last of the series that he called "literary collages", defined by a theatrical structure and by the construction of the characters' speeches based on the copying and editing of excerpts taken from their original context. Unpublished until this publication, Conversations between Jesus, Jehovah and Hitler takes up and closes this procedure inaugurated with Words of Others (1967), which will be followed by La Basílica (1985; RIPIO, 2020) and Exegesis (1993). This work returns to one of the central hypotheses in the artist's production: the greatest historical phenomena of annihilation, the greatest massacres and human rights violations continue to occur because they obey a tradition of hatred and intolerance present at the base of our societies. The recurrence of these themes is key. In terms of Andrea Giunta: “Leon Ferrari was questioned that he always said the same thing. He claimed that he did it because the things he reported kept happening. To repeat is to resist ”. In these conversations, then, the assertion that it was destruction in the beginning and that, throughout history, Western art has contributed to it with an aura of solemnity and aesthetic sophistication is insisted, not coincidentally. This is a previously unpublished work. This edition includes an introduction and a posface after an investigation with the sources consulted by the author.

The ArtsFebruary 2020The Basilica, by León Ferrari
by León Ferrari
It is 1985 and, for two years, León Ferrari and his partner Alicia have begun a long return to the country. Exiled in Brazil due to the infamous civic-military dictatorship in Argentina, and with residence in São Paulo since 1976, they will live intermittently in the city of São Paulo and in Buenos Aires until 1991, the year of their final return. It's 1985 and Ferrari creates La Basílica; In this way, he takes up a type of work - literary collage - in which he had ventured in 1967 to elaborate Words of Others (there will be four that he will carry out throughout his entire production). The Basilica has a theatrical structure and is also amphibious: it is the only one in this series of texts in which the artist incorporates images. The characters in this drama –Jehovah, Jesus, Adam, Eve, exterminating angels and Ronald Reagan, among others– emit delusional speeches that are nothing more than the reproduction, through quotations, of the fundamental notions of Judeo-Christian culture. Housed in the black bibliographical sources of the West, the fragments extracted from their original context reveal the world of horror that the West promotes. Fortunately, the demiurge Ferrari adds a certain sour humor and proposes burning cats to ingratiate himself with a god, or confuse the public with confusing sentences and contradictory smells. It is 1985, passion and fierceness are intact, and Ferrari builds this basilica –this two-headed monster of images and words– demonstrating how the bloody letter enters and how all the great anguishrs of each era comply politically with their masters. This edition includes an introduction and a posface after an investigation with the sources consulted by the author.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)August 2019Britannica
by Germán Padinger
In a future that seems close to becoming the past, the novel's characters struggle to adapt to the rapid concentration of information in a global file that can be accessed, as in a dream, through a cable connected directly to the brain: a process they call «enhancement». Young programming students, a wear social science teacher, a woman searching for her missing husband in the cloud, and a colonizer trying to build a new world populate this novel. Before them, virtual life and the ideology that «enhancement» brings will soon seem more attractive than flesh and blood, and the world will be immersed in a race towards transmigration, in transit times as technology advances. It is in this context that militants of an esoteric and nostalgic movement will try to warn about the dangers of abandoning the body, that old desire of philosophy.

August 2021La luz y la montaña
by Soledad Urquia
A woman goes to live together with her husband and their little daughter in a village nestled between mountains and streams. A while before, she set out on a spiritual journey of yoga and the study of Eastern texts. She meditates every morning and keeps a diary where she records those moments, her breathing techniques, where her thoughts and desires wander, and her day-to-day life in the valley. With a voice that echoes Natalia Ginzburg and Emmanuel Carrére but in her uniquely uncertain and gentle tone, each entry in this diary is a revelation.
