Description

This book celebrates fifteen years of the URBANA Public Art Program through a journey through the most outstanding interventions and exhibitions in the various spaces of the URBANA business center. The book not only documents but also reflects on how art has transformed the experience of inhabiting a work environment. The projects presented over these years have made the Public Art Program a benchmark for integrating contemporary art and the corporate world.

The building complex, designed by architect Mario Roberto Álvarez, stands out as the space where these artistic experiences come to life. Its unique architecture provides a challenging yet generous framework for the interaction between art and work, fostering an ongoing dialogue between the two worlds.

The program's curator, Jorgelina Dacil Infer, along with a group of guest curators Florencia Batitti, Solana Chehtman, Jimena Ferreiro and Javier Villa, offer their perspectives on key topics such as the relationship between art and architecture, the social and community function of art, and mediation as a bridge of dialogue between the works and the public.

This book is a collective reflection on how public art can influence daily life within a corporate environment, creating new bridges of mediation, interaction, and thought. At the same time, it offers a critical and enriching perspective on the importance of integrating art as a fundamental part of workspaces, creating dynamics that adapt, evolve, and foster connection with the community.
