RUB: Perspectives on the Work of Diego Bianchi

RUB encompasses different perspectives on Diego Bianchi’s work produced within the past eleven years. Edited by Inés Katzenstein, the book presents one of the most disruptive artists of contemporary Latin America. Bianchi’s sculptures, installations, and performances, explore issues fundamental to grappling with the contemporary—sexuality, violence, technology, and pleasure—in relation to the economic and political situation in Argentina, where he lives and works. - Temblores Publicaciones

Rub’s essays explore Bianchi’s art through the lenses of sexuality, architecture, politics, and class. The book also includes a selection of Bianchi’s writing, much of which deals with the figure of the runfla—marginalized people whose existence is unruly and apolitical, an affront at once to traditional conservatism and to bourgeois intellectual liberalism, and, to Bianchi, who constitute the last standing resistance to neoliberalism.
