Gallery Nights: First edition of 2009

On Friday, April 29th, 2009, from 7 PM, the first edition of Gallery Nights 2009, the original circuit for art lovers around more than 60 art galleries, antique shops, museums and cultural centers, will take place in the neighborhoods of Retiro and Barrio Norte in Buenos Aires. Gallery Nights is organized by the art magazine Arte al Día, AdnCultura (La Nacion newspaper), and the Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires, the last Friday of every month.

As always, there will be live music and free shows, and guests will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of Chandon champagne. A free “LAN Audio Guide Tour”, is available (in Spanish only). Those who wish to participate in this virtual experience can get to the LAN stand at the British Arts Centre (Suipacha 1333), from 7 PM to 10 PM, and, with an ID, will be able to pick up an MP3 with the information about the galleries and exhibits chosen. This information can also be downloaded from www.artealdia.com to make the visit with your own MP3.

The recommended exhibitions this month are: Gyula Kosice "Obras Recientes" at Zurbaran; the engravings' exhibition “+ Estampa” at Mundo Nuevo Gallery Art; paintings by Felipe Giménez at Casasur Art Hotel; paintings by Francisco Travieso at Palatina; and the colective exhibition at Aldo De Sousa with artists like Ernesto Berra, Daniel Zelaya, Karin Godnic, Pablo Solari, Juan Ranieri, Hernán Dompé and Alberto Bastón Díaz.

A new addition to Gallery Nights this year is the presentation of “Iluminarte by Arnet”, featuring Argentine video art at the Auditorium of British Arts Centre (Suipacha 1333, Buenos Aires). Rodrigo Alonso, a permanent collaborator in Arte al Dia, is in charge of the selection of the artists presenting their works.

The traditional circuit of Gallery Nights covers from Plaza San Martín to Callao and from Tucumán to Libertador. There is also a free transportation service with fixed stops and a constant route to get to all of the spots in the circuit.

This event is totally free of charge.
