Summary

Catalogue of the exhibition Terapiaʺ (Therapy) held between March 19 and August 16, 2021 at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. The foundation of "Therapy" is not to present a historiography of the discipline, but to constitute itself as an invitation to think from an artistic perspective the reasons why the psychoanalytic impulse is one of the most unique and outstanding features of modern Argentine culture. The exhibition, curated by Gabriela Rangel, Verónica Rossi and Santiago Villanueva, starts with the importance that exercised and still has this field of knowledge and therapeutic practice, which became idiosyncratic of the national, to propose a selection of works by modern and contemporary artists from Argentina that dialogue with different aspects, themes and problems of psychoanalysis. The book comprises about two hundred works by more than fifty Argentine artists -from surrealist manifestations to the happening and its contemporary reinterpretations- accompanied by a rich selection of documents that come from more than fifty private collections and from important institutions such as: Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Museo Sívori, Fundación Klemm, Archivo Di Tella, Fundación Espigas IDA, Fundación Lariviere, Fundación BBVA, CeDInCI and APA, among others. The catalogue brings together all the works presented in the exhibition and the essays of the curators, which focus on three nodal cases of the exhibition, as well as a text specially commissioned from historian Mariano Plotkin on the process of institutionalization of psychoanalysis in Argentina. In addition, Marisa Rubio introduces her "Waiting Room", the reconstruction of which initiates the exhibition, and Claudia del Río presents a selection of works from the presents a selection of works from the "Enciclopedia Oliveros", performed by patients of the Colonia Psiquiátrica of the town of Oliveros, province of Santa Fe.
