Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Tomás Saraceno: How to Entangle the Universe in a Spider Web, at The Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, the first exhibition at an Argentinian museum by Tomás Saraceno (b. 1973, San Miguel de Tucumán; lives and works in Berlin).
Curated by Victoria Noorthoorn and the team at the Museum, the exhibition will present two immersive installations deriving from a decade’s worth of interdisciplinary artistic research. Combining Saraceno’s interest in arachnology and astrophysics, with sound and the visual arts, the project introduces museum visitors to a collective "cosmic concert" that envelops the two spaces. Suspended filaments of webs and swirling formations of dust foreground a floating journey through the cosmic web—an analogy commonly used by astrophysicists to describe the universe as a set of discrete galaxies that are joined together by gravity.
How to Entangle the Universe in a Spider Web by Tomás Saraceno expresses the artist’s idea of the universe as an extensive realm of interconnections. It also reconsiders the affinities that exist beyond the human realm, like flows on the atmospheric wind, and journeys through the cosmic web. Immersed in an infinitely complex web, visitors become a part of a social construction integrated by the arachnids, the artist, the curators, the professionals from different museums, the scientists, and the thinkers from different disciplines who have worked on this project. Multiple forms are created as a sequence of trails, traces and constellations that reveal the microscopic, the global and the cosmic.

Opening : On Friday, April 7th at 7:00 pm we are waiting for you all for the inauguration of Tomás Saraceno's first solo exhibition in Argentina.
At 6 pm The artist will give a lecture in the auditorium of the Museum.
