Ana Gallardo invites us to reflect on the violence experienced in old age as a result of the restricted territories allowed to seniors in current society. From this perspective, she has conceived of a school where people can learn to get old. In it, seniors teach the audience different activities and work-related situations. Gallardo’s interest chiefly lies in the activities learnt by will, in a self-taught manner, or out of sheer necessity. As the starting point of her work, the artist chooses to step into the role of apprentice herself.
Type of activity: Conversation with the audience. Performative conference.
Free admission. No prior registration required.
Ana Gallardo was born in 1958 in the Province of Santa Fe. She currently lives and works in Buenos Aires. A self-taught artist, Gallardo has participated in Reverberaciones: arte y sonido en las colecciones del MUAC, in Mexico; in an intervention alongside ten other Latin American artists at the Agua Event that was organized for Yoko Ono’s Dream Come True retrospective, at Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA); and at the 56th Sao Pablo Biennale, among other events. Gallardo has had individual exhibitions such as Acciones primarias IV, at the Es Baluard Museum, in Palma, Majorca; and Un lugar para vivir cuando seamos viejos, at Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires (MAMBA).
