Puls Andán: When Latin America Beat at the Heart of Paris

The exhibition “Puls Andán: When Latin America Beat at the Heart of Paris” brings together, for the first time, the work of two key Argentine artists who lived and worked in Paris: painter and musician Héctor García Miranda and sculptor Alicia Penalba. The exhibition is on view at Galería del Infinito in Buenos Aires.

The show juxtaposes García Miranda’s kinetic paintings with collages, sculptural prototypes, and previously unseen archival materials by Penalba. It also includes rare filmed footage of the Andean music group Los Calchakis performing in Penalba’s Paris studio during the 1960s.

Curated by Javier Villa, the exhibition revisits a fertile moment of artistic exchange in which abstraction, music, and Latin American identity converged within the vibrant cultural scene of Paris. The project highlights how both artists transformed experiences of displacement and cultural memory into rhythm, form, and movement.

“Puls Andán” offers a renewed perspective on this shared transatlantic dialogue, revealing how Latin American artistic sensibilities resonated at the core of European modernity.
