Mar del Plata / Artwork: “Un buen día”
The proposal tries to prioritize contemplation when walking along the sidewalk. Recognize, in the celebration of the city's 150 years, 4 unavoidable people from the city, all with a cultural imprint in the broadest sense, llegando even to have influence at a national and international level. The mural will be divided into 4 sections, or pages. From left to right on planes of full colors, red, green, light blue and blue, there will be small texts, phrases or fragments of poems, as a triggers, for what who project your memory on what you read, or wonder about them and/or their authors. The brief information of the phrases and their respective author will be as a base in each space. The red sector, brick dust, will be for Guillermo Vilas but in his role as a musician and writer with the phrase You are for me what I always dreamed of, from the song “You are for me, recorded by el tennis player in 1990, making an allegory, in the lyrics, of women with respect to the city of Mar del Plata, in what is a personal appreciation. Let us remember that Vilas has published books of poems, recorded songs and collaborated with the musician Spinetta, on their only album in English, which includes a song with lyrics by Vilas “Children of the bells”. Next, on green English will be the fragment of a poem, which says I had looked at the flowers, the elusive color that the wind carried, de Susana López Merino. Who, although not born in our city, came when he was young and received his degree in the Faculty of Letters at the UNMP. Susana López Merino won the National Poetry Prize in 1983, and having left us a little over a year ago, it is one of the first tributes to her career as a writer, manager and generator of great cultural events. En Third term, on light blue, is a phrase from the writer Osvaldo Soriano; Memory, when choosing what is kept and what is discarded, does not know coincidences. Soriano is widely recognized for his novels, and his back covers of Diario Página 12, among other media. His books were translated into numerous languages and some were made into films. And finally, in blue, the space is dedicated to Federico Peralta Ramos, with the fragment of a poem in which it is reiterated three times; I like it here. Federico Peralta Ramos, although he began as a painter, his genius broke limits to the point of being unclassifiable.
