Whether in paintings and installations that tackle queer theory or as cofounder of the feminist art collective PintorAs, Ad Minoliti makes little distinction between life and practice: both serve as vectors for challenging social hierarchies in art and politics. Once again reaching beyond the boundaries of the canvas, Minoliti has not only installed a new body of paintings and sculptures in the Casa Victoria Ocampo – designed in 1928, it was the first Rationalist home in Buenos Aires, commissioned by the progressive intellectual Victoria Ocampo – but has also organized a daylong symposium to explore themes outside the canon of Argentinean art-school curricula. Historically, the Casa Ocampo entertained luminaries of the Modernist era: Le Corbusier, André Malraux, and José Ortega y Gasset, among others. For Art Basel Cities, Minoliti challenges a male-dominated history of culture by hosting a critical dialog for contemporary feminist thinkers across disciplines in this storied space, now the home of El Fondo Nacional de las Artes. The event will be filmed and later screened on a loop within the installation. Symposium speakers: Cristina Schiavi, Femi Mutante Editorial (Maria Ibarra and Julia Ines), Nicolas Cuello, Santiago Villanueva, Paola Vega, serigrafistas queer, Lucas Morgan Disalvo, Fermin Acosta, Graciela Hasper, Archivo de la Memoria Trans Assistant: Jazmín Giordano Audiovisual recording: Mariana Lombard Special thanks to Barbara Russi and Juan Balza for their kind support, and to Casa Victoria Ocampo and Fondo Nacional de las Artes for hosting this ‘Hopscotch (Rayuela)’ work.&nbsp;
