Among a number of proposals from international artists, Proyecto ´ace selected Rafel Trelles' project "En Concreto" (On Concret) in order to take part of the International Artist-in-Residence Program during August 2007. The Puerto Rican artist and Roberto Otero- who will make a video about the interventions- will travel to Buenos Aires on August 9th co-sponsored by the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña through its Fine Arts Program and the Secretary of Culture of the Buenos Aires City Government.
“En Concreto” is an artistic project of urban interventions developed by Rafael Trelles since the summer of 2004 on the walls, sidewalks and utility poles of San Juan, Mayaguez and Ponce cities as well as in Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. It is an experimental graphic work originally designed to be placed in poor and abandoned sectors of the cities. Proyecto ´ace has invited the artist to continue this project in Argentina doing new interventions in this city which will be inspired on Julio Cortazar's literature.
