The Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture and the Municipal Museum of Visual Arts, will carry out the inauguration of the Lucio Fontana Hall, a space specially conceived to safeguard and showcase the emblematic work Muchacho del Paraná (1942) by the renowned Argentine artist Lucio Fontana.
The ceremony will take place on Friday, August 30th at 6:30 PM at the Municipal Museum of Visual Arts (Urquiza 638). The inauguration will also feature a stage set up in Plaza 25 de Mayo on Urquiza Street, where artistic performances will be held in tribute to master Fontana and his work Muchacho del Paraná.
The creation of this hall constitutes a milestone in the cultural policy of the administration of Mayor Dr. Francisco Azcué, which seeks to strengthen the preservation of artistic heritage, expand spaces for meeting with the community, and democratize access to cultural expressions.
“Muchacho del Paraná is a work charged with symbolism, which not only dialogues with the identity of the littoral but also connects us with the history of our city. That Concordia has a hall specially designed to enhance this piece by Fontana is a transcendental event, which positions it in the national cultural circuit,” expressed the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto.
In that sense, he highlighted: “The inauguration of this hall responds to a management vision that understands that art should not remain stored away, but be at the service of the community. From the Municipality, we work so that these spaces are engines of identity, education, and cultural tourism.”
The Fontana Hall will not only allow for an experience of deep contemplation of the work, but is also projected as an educational and artistic dissemination space, with guided tours, talks, and activities that bring new generations closer to the legacy of one of the most influential artists of modern art.
