Born in Argentina, Amalia Pica is a London-based artist. Shot in New York and starring Buster Keaton, this short black-and-white nearly silent movie is a gem. In the film, O becomes inconsolably paranoid and aware of being perceived.

My favorite part is when he destroys a printed image tacked to the wall of the face of a Sumerian statuette. But left with a sun mark where the picture once hung, O becomes only more tormented by its trace. A prolific writer, Aira claims that his published writing is never edited indeed, one can often tell. In true Argentinean mythmaking fashion, the accident involves a lightning storm and a mad horse.

Nina is one of those artists whose work makes me want to make art. There is an immediacy to her practice that is at once playful and lucid. For a while she had her own TV show.

'Amalia Pica: Aula grande' is on view now at the 16th Cuenca Biennial!

I wish she still did! Through its projects, seminars, exhibitions, and publications, Uqbar engenders collaboration between artists, scientists, and thinkers of many other disciplines. The programming stems from a curiosity about the myriad methodologies and instruments utilized in the pursuit of knowledge.
