Transhemiférico

The Museo Gurvich presents an unprecedented exhibition in Uruguay: “Transhemispheric” by the artists Richard Garet and Diego Masi. The show has been planned in the context of institutional work around the concept of migration.
The show takes the theme from a contemporary perspective based on the experience of the two artists, who see their lives and work permeated by migration.

Separately Diego Masi and Richard Garet have long been investigating the sculptural qualities of sound, their works ranging from a kinetic sculpture in which microphones are slowly lowered in and out of glasses of water to a wall mounted paper guillotine, attached to which a speaker broadcasts the sound of a paper being cut. It makes sense, then, that the Uruguayan pair are brought together for a homecoming two-person survey.
