The exhibition makes an impact on us from the very beginning: when we enter and face “Entreveros”, the installation that Noé, at his 84 years old, made especially for this occasion. A unique piece that is, in turn, many pieces and joins together thousands of colors, materials, and mirrors, changes from different perspectives, and makes the viewer part of it because all of a sudden he or she is there, inside the work of art, in the reflection of the mirrors; a playful game that catches us immediately and that we could stare for hours and always find something different.
That is how the exhibition “Luis Felipe Noé: Mirada Prospectiva” opens, with an installation that leaves us breathless. “Entreveros” puts together all the things that Noé tells us in the other one-hundred works that the exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts shows and that goes through 60 years of production, unknown drawings, and paintings of the past and the present that always look into the future.
Chaos is the main theme of the exhibition curated by Cecilia Ivanchevich. But chaos in a positive sense, chaos as defined by Noé as: “the truth of life”, chaos that defines us, that makes us look into ourselves and reinvent ourselves all the time.
Each painting, drawing, line and installation enchants more than the previous one and reminds us why Noé is one of the greatest artists not only of Argentina but of the entire world. His work shows us history and merges it with the present and future, but also the power of his visual games and vital lines that question us and invite us to see beyond.
“To embrace chaos is to embrace that order we deny ourselves in defense of a previous one (…) to fear chaos is to fear being overwhelmed in our vision of the World”, Noé wrote. The exhibition is an invitation to understand that chaos as the order where we live in, to learn to live with it and the multiple forms of the “I” and the “Other” that exist in the world.
