Nicanor Aráoz is a central artist in the panorama of contemporary Argentine sculpture. For Solid Dream, a site-specific project created especially for the rooms of the Museo Moderno with the curatorship of Lucrecia Palacios, Aráoz shaped a landscape in which four large pieces account for various regeneration processes. The rehabilitating capacity of a flowering, the delicacy of ceramics or the emotionality of vintage music of a jukebox coexist in space with the destructive energies of tornadoes, the violence of war and the aggressiveness of synthetic material, such as polyurethane. If in several of his previous exhibitions Aráoz had worked on repressed drives –crime, sexuality, torture–, here the artist moves away from the traumatic story and wonders about new ways of life that combine technology and nature.
