2. Plastic Arts Exhibition
The artist Xavo presents in the Space Art Gallery of Menéndez Books in Buenos Aires "Tiempo al Tiempo," until next January 30th. A sample in which he delves with irony and humor about man's obsession with the finiteness of life.
Javier Baliña, better known as Xavi, has twenty-five years of career as a gallerist and has now begun to carry out his creative work, developing his conceptual work initially and forcefully. Precisely, in this sample, time fulfills a fundamental role becoming the conductive thread of the exhibition.
