For over two decades, Graciela Hasper’s work has been defined by bold colors sharpened by powerful angles. In her installation Intemperie, Hasper translates this aesthetic to a series of painted aluminum cubes that are simultaneously enclosed and exposed. Viewers can enter and be immersed within the open-air structures, allowing the chromatic color palette to push and pull their perception, while hanging elements punctuate the negative space. As reference points, these elements provoke constantly shifting views based on whether the piece is experienced from within or without. The installation’s placement – in the middle of a walking path – juxtaposes urban passivity against immersive activity and generates a dislocation for those in motion. In either scenario, transitioning from the outside of the cubes to their interior spaces allows the viewer to experience them in full via consequent sensory modifications. The word “intemperie” refers to a heightening of the work’s different meanings, and here Hasper forges a hybrid environment that produces new beauty while offering a protective habitat in which to experience it.Intemperie (Outdoor) is presented by Galería Vasari.Production CreditsFabricator: Dante Martínez Tisi Custom Metal Manufacturers.Special thanks to Laureen Bates, Marina Pellegrini, Hernán Zavaleta, Dante Tisi, and Esteban Tedesco.

Drawing on Latin America’s rich tradition of abstract and concrete art, Graciela Hasper incorporates drawing, painting, and photography into large-scale works and installations that explore geometry, color, and the fluidity of forms. Her site-specific pieces tend toward the architectural and use color to create powerful, immersive experiences. Her training includes several workshops at Diana Aisenberg’s studio in Buenos Aires (1988–1991) and the Beca Kuitca-Fundación Antorchas program (1991–1993), as well as residencies at Art Omi, New York (1997); Apexart (with a grant from Fulbright-Fondo Nacional de las Artes), New York (2000); Chinati Foundation, Marfa (2002); and the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center, Italy (2005). Major installations include Notas de luz at Usina del Arte, Buenos Aires (2016); Intemperie at Fundación Banco Santander, Buenos Aires (2019); and Rotación in the Catalinas station of the E subway line, Buenos Aires (2019). Her solo shows include ‘Mi Hermano y Yo’ at Alianza Francesa, Paris (1999); ‘Geografía’ at Instituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana, Buenos Aires (2001); ‘Proximities’ at Dot Fiftyone Gallery, Miami (2018); and ‘Unexpected’ at Sicardi Ayers Bacino, Houston (2019). Her work has also been featured in the group exhibitions ‘Recovering Beauty’ at the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin (2011); ‘My Buenos Aires’ at Maison Rouge, Paris (2015); and ‘Tácticas Luminosas’ at Colección Fortabat, Buenos Aires (2019).&nbsp;The artist is represented by Galería Vasari, Buenos Aires; Dot Fiftyone Gallery, Miami; and Sicardi Ayers Bacino, Houston.<a href="http://ttps//artbaselcitiesba.com/?cat=44">Accedé a la versión del catálogo en español</a>.
