With a large public turnout, this Friday night, at the Visual Arts Museum of the Municipality of Concordia, the exhibition “Tensions, a narrative is possible” was inaugurated, which brings together the different works that the MAV stores inside, through pictorial genres.
Vice mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, representing mayor Francisco Azcué, highlighted the importance that culture has for our city in general and the Visual Arts Museum in particular, highlighting the work that is carried out there and which is reflected today in the inauguration of the first exhibition of the year that not only brings together different works by various artists but also shows the quality of it.
Undersecretary of Culture, Jorge García, remarked that “it is a source of pride and a privilege for Concordia to have this space and this exhibition”, inviting the entire community to come to the MAV and enjoy the exhibition, announcing that work will be carried out with educational establishments so that children from all neighborhoods can attend this exhibition and the upcoming ones that will be held.
For his part, the director of the Visual Arts Museum Hugo Musser, stated that there was a lot of anxiety to be able to reach this day, “to be able to be in contact again with our public that today has filled the room, enjoying our art and our collection”.
Regarding “Tensions, a narrative is possible”, Musser indicated that it is composed of almost 100 works, from 5 disciplines, ordered into 7 categories, “that respond to the genres of classical painting; painting, drawing, sculpture and engraving. We want a powerful museum, right in the center, so that our people have access to art and those who come to visit us know what Concordia collects in terms of art”.
Present were the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide; the General Secretary of the Mayor's Office Lorena Aguilar; the Undersecretary of Education Carlos Gatto; Fiorella Scayola, District Consul of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay in Concordia; among other officials and the general public.
