Perla Benveniste

Perla Benveniste, was born in Paraguay in 1943, and in 1962 she adopted Argentine nationality.
She studied at the Prilidiano Pueyrredón, graduating in 1963. She lives and works in Buenos Aires.
At the end of the 1960s, while interest in kinetic art was growing in Argentine art, Perla was a young artist interested in the study of movement and the phenomena of perception. After the Instability exhibition, a massive public participated in the playful experiences that Julio Le Parc presented in 1967 in the halls of the Torcuato Di Tella Institute (ITDT). Companies and foundations began to stimulate the trend and, in 1968, the National Hall opened the "Visual Research" section to include the new formats of experimental art. Benveniste obtained a Mention in the Visual Research Contest convened in 1970, . And with the passing of the decade, a withdrawal originated in her productions that gave rise to a marked transformation in the poetics of her works.
