The exhibition "One of a Kind" proposes a dialogue between two Latin American artists coupled in one creative point: the work and the redefinition of the boundaries of painting. Through procedures and knowledge about painting and also about urban culture, modern art, design and nature Leda Catunda (San Pablo,1961) and Alejandra Seeber (Buenos Aires,1968) produce works that absorb everything around her. Edited on the occasion of the exhibition, from its design and materiality the book resonates with the title of the project. In parallel and in two different rooms of the museum, each artist's works are deployed to foster a unique form of dialogue - with each other and with the exhibition space - that becomes visible in the section of reproduced works, illuminated by three central texts and specially written for publication. In the curatorial essay, researcher Francisco Lemus reviews the work of both artists in light of their pictorial procedures and knowledge and the influence they receive from urban culture, modern art, design, music and nature. For his part, the American critic and poet John Yau contextualizes the works of Seeber and Catunda within the contemporary defeat of painting and pauses thoroughly on some of his most representative pieces. The volume also includes an interview by Josefina Barcia to both artists, which allows us to approach some of her common concerns through her own voices.
