When ART In Caps was born in May, it did so with an intuition and many questions: what voices are defining contemporary art in Buenos Aires? What discourses are being constructed in galleries, workshops, and alternative spaces? And, above all, how can we think about art from within, intertwining reflection, intuition, and emotion? Today, very close to the end of the year, I have a sea of answers —and even more questions— all arising from the texts, conversations, and encounters we shared.

This 2024 led me to explore an overwhelming variety of exhibitions, from monumental installations that transformed entire spaces to minimal works, almost whispers, that demanded attention from their intimate scale. Through each text, contemporary art in Buenos Aires revealed itself as a landscape full of intersections, tensions, and new paths. From the margins to the centers, I discovered practices that question the human, the environmental, the political, and the aesthetic. This confirms something for me: art does not have final answers, but it does have an infinite capacity to reframe everything we thought we knew.

Throughout the year, ART In Caps grew thanks to the doors that were opened for me, the workshops I visited, and the stories that were entrusted to me. In each text, there is a bit of you: those who shared your works, your time, your ideas, and even endless coffees. Every conversation was a reminder that art is not just an object or space; it is also the bridge that connects people. All of this reminds me why I love doing this: because behind each work, there is a narrative that deserves to be told.

2024 was a year of learning and infinite gratitude. To those who transformed this project into a space for exchange: thank you. This year we wrote, literally, in UPPERCASE.

But this is just a beginning. 2025 awaits us, and my enthusiasm is placed on the possibilities. This project will be as interesting as what we share together, so I want to hear from you: what projects are you imagining? What stories need to be told? Invite me to be part of what’s coming in your artistic world.

Thank you for being part of this story. Let’s keep writing it together in UPPERCASE.
