Jorge Macchi (Argentine, b. 1963) Before and After, 2018, bricks, site specific dimensions, Galleria Continua Habana galleriacontinua "Before and after" by Argentine artist Jorge Macchi is a tremendously poetic work. Since its installation at the Cuban space of Galleria Continua, in November last year, seeing it every day gives me pleasure. The duality caused by the hardness of the bricks and at the same time its floating lightness; the physical impossibility of crossing the wall and the possibility that it can be crossed by the air, the light, the gaze; always make me think that in art, as in life, there are no absolute truths. In these moments, where our concepts of space and time have been modified, Macchi's poetic idea revives for me as a space of illusion and hope." - Niurma Pérez #jorgemacchi #galleriacontinua
