Eduardo Rodríguez, Perla Benveniste

Subtle, bright, hypnotic and essentially fun are the words to define the art of Eduardo Rodríguez (b. 1934) and Perla Benveniste (b. 1942). This married couple were in the late 1960's two artists interested in the study of the movement and in the phenomena of perception. After their exhibition "La inestabilidad" where Julio Le Parc presented his work in the Instituto Di Tella in 1967 and the growing climate of censorship and political violence during the 1970's in Argentina significantly influenced production and the poetics of Rodriguez and Benveniste kinetic art.
