Cassia House presents the group exhibition Da Da Da, a proposal that brings together seven artists in a unique format: Julián Rodríguez Vigo, Piero Vicente, Angela Paniagua, Daniel Scherman, Diego Roia, Zia Margaret, and Valentina Gil. During the week of September 13–19, 2025, each of them will create a live artwork in the gallery, in front of the public. These pieces, together with others selected by curator Catalina Bagnato Irigoyen, will later form the group exhibition that will remain on view until October 10.
The opening gathering will take place on Saturday, September 20, at 7:00 pm at Laprida 1811, Recoleta, Buenos Aires.
The first week of action will set the pulse of the project: the gallery turned into workshop, process, and shared stage. Each day will be a different chapter, an experiment open to chance and to audience participation. The work will not appear as a finished result, but as a passage, as a gesture in transformation.
Although our time refuses categorizations or manifestos such as the adjective “DADA,” it is still possible to stand on its shoulders to give a name to something new. In this exhibition, we revive a playful ghost that allows our curious eyes to accompany us as we encounter the work of artists who still know how to explore the world from other perspectives. We turn historical heritage into a kind garment to which we can add all kinds of buttons, ribbons, and new fabrics.
Inhabitants of a daily life focused on the exploitation of time in the service of systematic production; pausing to create out of enjoyment or curiosity becomes vital: thus, we rescue the rebellious gesture and—once again—place it in a gallery, where we learned that even the invaluable can have a space—and a price!
These artists engage in dialogue with irony by blurring individual authorship, by building works out of chance encounters with everyday objects, by generating rhetoric around stains or accidents, by flirting with surprise and the alchemical game of mixing the most dissimilar elements in order to decompose or re-signify them within a new universe full of delight.
We add one more “Da” to the “original” because—why not?
We also add other things.

With this proposal, Cassia House opens its doors so that creation may be lived as an event. The experience is not limited to contemplating the finished works, but rather invites us to witness their birth and then to trace the marks of that passage.
At the opening event on September 20, the atmosphere will expand beyond the visual arts: Delforus will present an avant-garde musical proposal, while a live performance will give way to the presentation of two creations by designer Tatiana Marano, where fashion becomes gesture, movement, and shared sign.
We especially thank LG for their support, inviting us to discover a work by Piero Vicente on a different medium.
Da Da Da is a space of encounter with the unexpected, a territory to play with what is possible and, in that play, to rediscover the collective.
