Textile Tourism: The CUYO Region, Argentina
Cuyo is the name given to the wine-producing, mountainous area of central-west Argentina. Culturally it comprises the provinces of San Juan, San Luis and Mendoza, with an incredible Andean weaving tradition dating back to pre-Columbian times of the Incas and Quechuas.
This beautiful area extends westwardly into the Andes mountain range, and includes the highest peak in South America: the Aconcagua. From here you can cross borders into Chile through the Paso de Vacas pass (so long as it’s not too snowy).

New Cultural Space In Buenos Aires
Faena Art Center: New Cultural Space In Buenos Aires
…o bicho suspenso na paisagen…
…a beast suspended within the landscape…
(These photos are not up-side down!)
In September, 2011 Faena Arts Center opened its doors within the recycled neighborhood of Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The majestic site could only open doors with an equally majestic textile bicho (beast) by the great Brazilean maestro Ernesto Neto, who suspended his crochet-based installation from ceilings and walls, and covered the nets with thousands of plastic balls.
The result is this enormous organic form that seems to float above ground inviting visitors to walk, climb, touch and get lost in its insides.
Gabriela Nirino is swallowed by Neto's bicho
It took 30 assistants to help Neto create and install the beast.
Curated by Jessica Morgan, the exhibit is open to the public through February, 2012 and it’s a “must see, must feel” experience.
