Vigo y el arte (in)sonoro

Edgardo Antonio Vigo (La Plata, 1928-1997) produced unfathomable and multidimensional work. Useless machines, experimental poetry, woodcuts, mail art, three-dimensional work (or better known as "things"), tributes, specialized magazines, critical texts, life records, signs, "art (in) sonoro" (soundless art), added to all the material he preserved from other artists. All this configures the map of an endless file. The present collective work participates in the practice of critical discourse, but, above all, in curiosity and affective dedication towards the figure, now transfigured, of Vigo. Thanks to a precise and precious work of immersion in the archives, the authors crystallize a meticulous investigation that responds, within its enormous documentary collection, a corpus not yet explored, highlighting new-old sources, providing testimonies, new data and keys to interpretation, while reconstructing with detail and precision the "soundless" perspective of the work of the artist from La Plata.
