ÓXIDO DIGITAL
By Rodrigo Etem
"One of the keys of art is to make the monstrous beautiful and vice versa. I think of Goya, but more in his title than in his engravings: the sleep of reason produces monsters. There is life within the glitch, now giant, now everything. Hidden in the landscape, another map appears, whose entrance door is a digital lapse."
Fragment from the text by Javier Piccolo

Visual artist. Currently I work as a producer at the Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno Mendoza. I am a member of @plataformaamiga, a virtual and affective space that promotes different instances of encounter, dissemination, visibility, training, and exchange of contemporary art in the Mendoza scene. I received 3rd Prize at the Salón Nacional de Artes Visuales 2020/21, 1st Prize at the Salón Provincial de Artes Visuales 2018, 2nd Prize at the Salón de Fotografía Máximo Arias 2017, 1st Prize at the Salón Vendimia de Fotografía 2009. I was awarded grants from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes, Ministerio de Cultura de la Nación, Fondo Provincial de Cultura, among others. I carried out work analysis with Fabiana Barreda, Esteban Álvarez, and Ananké Asseff. My work was part of the bicentennial celebrations of Argentine independence in the exhibition “Congreso de Tucumán, 200 años de Arte Argentino.” I held solo exhibitions including Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Franklin Rawson (San Juan, Arg), Museo Pumapungo (Cuenca, Ecuador), Museo Antropológico y de Arte Contemporáneo (Guayaquil, Ecuador), Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno de Mendoza (Mendoza, Arg). I participated in group exhibitions such as La marca original (CCK, Buenos Aires 2019), Poéticas Políticas (Parque de la Memoria, Buenos Aires 2016), Dura lex sed lex (Bienal Sur, Centro Cultural Parque de España, Rosario). With the support of the Fondo Arg. de la Cultura, I published the book "Rodrigo Etem / el flujo de la vida cotidiana en imágenes y acciones” with texts by Roxana Jorajuria. Some of my works are part of public and private collections. I have exhibited my works in Argentina, Ecuador, Spain, Mexico, Bolivia, and Taiwan.
