Claudia del Río participates in the exhibition Terapia (Therapy) at Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, MALBA, curated by its Artistic Director, Gabriela Rangel, with Verónica Rossi and Santiago Villanueva. The show takes its cue from the influence of therapeutic discourse and practices in the psychoanalytic arena in Argentine culture, together with the reception of Freudian theory in Europe and the United States at the beginning of the last century. The process of reception and institutionalization of psychoanalysis in Argentina allowed the passage from the hospital to the clinician’s office, from the unionized APA (Argentine Psychoanalytic Association) to the classroom, and, finally, it opened up to the assimilation into popular visual culture through mass-circulation magazines, especially in the capital city and other urban centers.
Aside from exhibiting a series of drawings, Claudia del Río is also curator of a sub-section focusing on works produced by patients in the Psychiatric Colony of Oliveros in the Province of Santa Fe, Argentina.
