Adrián Villar Rojas

Adrián Villar Rojas (born 1980 in Rosario, Argentina)[1] is an Argentinian sculptor known for his elaborate fantastical works which explore notions of the Anthropocene and the end of the world.

[6] Villar Rojas' work The Most Beautiful of All Mothers was exhibited offshore in the Sea of Marmara off the island of Büyükada and in front of the Turkish home in exile of Leon Trotsky as part of the 2015 Istanbul Biennial.

Therein Villar Rojas created The Theater of Disappearance which is a dinner party like mash up sculptural outlay reproducing digitally scanned objects from the museum's own collection.

The exhibition was curated by Elina Kountouri, Director NEON.The artist selected 46,000 different plants from 26 different species creating an intensely fertile area that gave way to a barren, polemical zone utilizing for the first time a neglected space of the Hill.

Sculptural installations inside eleven variously sized vitrines expose the brutality of years of conquest and expansion and our quest for colonizing new territory on earth and beyond.
