Episode No. 263 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Eduardo Basualdo. It was recorded live at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington.
The Hirshhorn recently acquired Basualdo’s The End of Ending (2012), the first of his sculptures to enter an American institutional collection. It is on view now at the museum.
In the last decade the Buenos Aires-based Basualdo has become a regular on the international biennial circuit, showing at biennials in Pontevedra, Spain, Lyon, France Montevideo, Uruguay, Gwangju, South Korea and Havana, Cuba. His work was also included in the “All the World’s Futures” exhibition at the 2015 Venice Biennale. He’s also presented installations at museums such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the OK Center for Contemporary Art in Linz, Austria, the Fundacion Jumex in Mexico City, and at the Museo de la Universidad de Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia.

I’ve just recently discovered this podcast whilst studying on my MA. What a fantastic resource, thank you! This was the first episode I listened to, and have replayed several times. Eduardo references a couple of artists whilst on the subject of architecture who have influenced him. I can’t quite make out the names, I was wondering if someone could fill me in? Many thanks, Claire.
