New exhibition at fCH: Rupestres

Federico Churba has invited Juan, once again, to open a photo exhibition at his amazing showroom. Yesterday Juan presented his last series, "Rupestres". Twelve large format pictures (110X110cmts) shot in Mendoza, NYC and Miami Beach between 2010 and 2015. The opening was a complete success, with the space packed-up with friends, artists, critics and journalists. Rupestres will be open until the end of August, and may be visited Monday to Friday from 10AM to 7PM and Saturdays from 10AM to 1PM. Tienda Federico Churba, Paraná 1172, Buenos Aires.

Horacio Lavandera at The Blue Whale

Tonight Horacio Lavandera will be plain Beethoven's Emperor piano concerto at the opening of the brand new concert hall in Buenos Aires, called The Blue Whale. This amazing venue has been acoustically designed and provides a crystal clear presentation of instruments very suitable for medium and small ensembles. Though world famous and a classic, the main hall at Teatro Colón was never intended for baroque music and chamber ensembles, as was designed with opera and symphonic orchestras in mind. So this new venue is very welcome. And to open it the prestigious Horacio Lavandera has been selected. He hired me to portray him in this space which, to be honest, was still being under constructions when these pictures were taken. Therefore, I could not make full use of the location and had to shoot under very low light conditions. He was very satisfied with the results, anyway. Good! I had met him during the recording sessions of Dino Saluzzi's piano music for ECM, at the Rainbow Studio in Oslo.
