August 21 – September 11, 2025
Cassia House presents Habitar, cuidar, Calendario, a group exhibition curated by Mónica Rizzi, featuring works by Irene Accarini, Juan Pablo Schiebelbein and Martín Zambrano Echenique. The show opened on August 21 with a warm vernissage that brought together artists, audiences, and cultural figures, and will remain on view until September 11 at Laprida 1811, Buenos Aires.
The exhibition unfolds as a meeting point between three singular perspectives that, through diverse languages and techniques, explore the relationship between matter, time, and memory. Paintings of line and color that seem to hold the trace of dreamt landscapes; woven and textile compositions that suspend stories in midair; sculptures that combine geometry and void, inviting silent contemplation.
More than a dialogue between works, Habitar, cuidar, Calendario manifests as a shared territory where the visible and the invisible coexist. Each piece, in its own particularity, partakes in the same question: how do we relate to what surrounds us, and to that which we have not yet found the words to name?
The art scene invites us to move through textures, prisms of light and shimmer, subtle grains and shades. Sound and silence meet in a pause, calling us into contemplation. Nature becomes both meaning and presence; it inhabits us as we care for life. Art binds the artist as a participant, constituted in blissful freedom.
Our response to it implicates us as the cause of a blank page, of a new work. The instant of creation has once been the brushstroke on the canvas, the first knot of embroidery, the line of a sketch, the photographic instant, the word that sparked dialogue. Familiar gestures through which art speaks in its own languages—and even knowing that the cultural muscle is activated when emotion arises between us, the question remains:
Are we the scene?
Is nature within each artist?
Within our frame, are we the image?
— Mónica Rizzi
With this exhibition, Cassia House opens its doors so that the works may breathe alongside the viewer, and in that exchange, memories, emotions, and new meanings may come alive. The experience goes beyond mere observation; it invites one to linger, to be permeated by what matter suggests and the artist’s gesture unveils.
Each visit thus becomes a different chapter of this imaginary calendar—where time is measured in contemplations, and the act of walking through the exhibition transforms into a collective, poetic gesture.
