The jury gathered at the Visual Arts Museum (MAV) facilities to select the works that will be exhibited at the XIV National Annual Bicentennial Salon “Painting 2024”.
It is composed of the MAV director Hugo Musser; Gladys Abitante, from Buenos Aires, and Raúl Gonzalez, from the city of Paraná.
The decision will be made after choosing from 356 works, of which 114 will be selected. Likewise, the exhibition will begin on October 18 and will remain for two months.
The Undersecretary of Culture of the Municipality of Concordia, Jorge García, stated that “at this moment, the arduous task of the Jury to choose begins. The other truth is that we are overwhelmed by so much beauty, awaiting the final results. It is essential to give continuity to this type of program as we do from this administration, granting continuity to the Bicentennial Salon, which represented a challenge but we were able to rise to the occasion. This salon makes all of us from Concordia proud,” he valued.
For her part, Gladys Abitante (juror from Buenos Aires) confessed that “it will be complex to choose because there is very good work and quantity.” In that sense, the specialist added: “One feels honored that we have been asked for collaboration. I highlight that this salon, which is so important, continues to be held. I wish there were salons like the one in Concordia throughout the length and breadth of the entire country,” she magnified.
Next, the juror from Paraná, Raúl González, reported that there are various factors and elements that will be taken into account when choosing. “We see here that the artists' works demonstrate the panorama and production in the country, of different ages, where quality prevails in each work. It is not the same to look at a stamp as it is to look at a mural, but the work has the final say and the well-used space does not need to be of scale; in that way, it will be an extraordinary work,” he detailed.
