Graciela Hasper - Gachi Hasper

Desde 2011 se desvinculó de la dirección del Centro de Investigaciones Artísticas, para dedicarse a sus proyectos personales. --------------------------------------------- In the 1990s, Hasper was a leading figure in the Rojas Group, a group of artists exploring geometric abstraction in Buenos Aires. In 2000, she completed her first residency in the United States, at Apex Art in New York with a Fulbright Grant, and in 2002 she participated in the Chinati Foundation residency in Marfa, Texas. As art historian and curator Roberto Amigo notes, "Graciela Hasper's painting can be appreciated as paradoxes: their objective form, which continues the tradition of a chromatic and playful abstraction, is also emotional. Her painting remains free of all imitation and, at the same time, within the ribbons, circles and squares, the pure, saturated and vibrant colors share material without mixing but merely by modifying the tone or value." Hasper has been commissioned to create large-scale mural projects for sites including Miami’s Faena Forum, designed by Rem Koolhaas of OMA, and recently Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires. Her work is included in the permanent collections of some of the most important museums.
