Artists, Exhibitions and Curators in Córdoba

Exhibitions, artistic practices, and curatorial approaches connected to the city’s institutions.

At Museo Caraffa, the most compelling recent curatorial direction has been the use of contemporary art as a device for memory, language, and public testimony rather than as a neutral sequence of exhibitions. Its 2026 program brings together projects such as Papeles de la memoria, curated by Mariana Schneider, La tierra los nombra, curated by Natalia Ferrero, and Federico Racca's site-specific installation Das Kapital, curated by Anibal Buede, shifting between documentary material, political remembrance, installation, and procedural approaches to form. The presence of artists connected to broader Latin American diasporic histories, including Runo Lagomarsino and Juan Pedro Fabra Guemberena within collective formats, reinforces Cordoba's institutional attention to exile, violence, and historical afterlives. Palacio Dionisi extends this inquiry through photography, from experimental retrospectives such as Nino Migliori: 100 anos de imagenes to documentary platforms like Calamuchita FotoDoc. Even accessibility initiatives such as Narrar historias con fragmentos at Caraffa become curatorial acts, reframing collection display through sound, mediation, and non-visual spectatorship.

About 1 Cubic Meter 1 Cubic Meter

1 Cubic Meter is an editorial map of contemporary art venues and exhibitions, built city by city to document where contemporary art is produced, presented, supported, and encountered.

The project is built on a principle of horizontality, both geographic and qualitative. It gives attention to scenes outside the established circuit alongside the major capitals, and approaches a small artist-run space with the same editorial care as a long-standing institution. Each entry is the outcome of editorial selection, a curatorial reading of contemporary art across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, moving image, and other current practices.

We maintain the map continuously, with its focus kept entirely on contemporary art.
