On the 7th of April 2023 was Fruits by Felipe Alvarez Parisi
β οΈππππππ₯β οΈ
Felipe made a skeleton and covered it with fruits and vegetables which he placed in an old hospital bed and carried it until the Abasto Shopping Mall. This building used to be the central market for fruits and vegetables for the city of Buenos Aires until 1984 and in the end of the 1990s it transformed itself into an iconic shopping mall, following the neoliberal trend.
This piece quoted Narcisa Hirschβs happening βMarabuntaβ which was presented in 1967 in Buenos Aires.
For this show Felipe also made small fruit desserts which he sold for a price range of AR$100 to AR$500. He wrote the different prices in pages of a notebook and they moved with the wind, so the price of the dessert for each buyer was decided -in a way- by the wind. This is particularly relevant for the context of the ravaging inflation of the prices in the Argentinian economy, which distorts completely the value of things.
At the end we took the skeleton to Las Deudas where it will Rest In Piece.
Thanks Felipe for the trust in the cards and its habilities.
