A Micropolitics of painting: Talk with Varr, La Plata, Argentina

Abstract

VARR, Valentina Andrea Rivas Robles, was born in Concepción, Chile, in 1989. Artist, painter, activist, VARR currently lives in the city of La Plata. In this dialogue, various aspects of her artistic practice are analysed. Her artistic practice takes place mainly in the street, a space she considers a place of debate, of resistance, but also a place of creation. Walking in the city, the “cirujeo” of materials, the creation of installations are some of the actions that he carries out on a daily basis, thus drawing a “micropolitics of painting”.
