Flavia, with all his shyness and sadness, is destined mainstream”.

BA Culturemix (BACM): -How did the idea of ​​the sample The mystery of the dead child?
Flavia Da Rin (FDR): -In general, never I have a very definite idea when I will start working on a sample. I have maybe some pictures, some references that will guide me somewhere, and a couple of loose ideas often fall on the road. In this case, hovered in my head openings and burials as reunion and celebration events, and the film The Tin Drum.

BACM: -In your description of your site displayed in the gallery, Inés Katzenstein curator says that you have “mainstream vocation”, because you nutrís the appeal of visual culture, Coincidís "in this?, What are your sources of inspiration?, Think about what you “doing art” and you have to “separate you” certain things when you work?
FDR: -The text of Agnes is fantastic, full of ideas that are generally very successful and I even helped me to see things about my work from other light. That's what happens when you run into a good critic. Yes, I agree with that assessment.

For me is very fluid work from pop culture, I grew up with this visual culture and, as I grow, I know a little more codes and my itching is going to use them (I confess that initially I was embarrassed). I maintain my entire: shampoo advertisements from art history to, film, la televisión, TV scrap and literature. I think it would mean for me I'm interested in references spared.

BACM: -What are you working on now and what are your next projects?
FDR: -Now I'm resting a bit of the sample, it was a work of almost half a year. Then there are several projects for this and next year, but not confirmed until the last moment.

BACM: -How did the art scene in Buenos Aires?, What things, artists, you seem interesting places?
FDR: -I really like what you are doing in the city, I think we have artists who do amazing things with a lot of effort and little support and money. Beauty and Happiness was a very special place is now closed, I hope you reincarnate. We have many good galleries, including Ruth Benzacar, Dabbah-Torrejon, Alberto Sendrós, Braga Menéndez, Appettite, Pink Pig, and many more, with very good artists. It seems that the Museum of Fine Arts was very nice after restructuring, I was not yet. There is also the Cultural Center Spain, Recoleta Cultural Centre, many. And the Malba, clear, is great to see samples or films, tea or take a.

BACM: -You live in Buenos Aires, at? If so, What is your neighborhood / square / corner of the city's favorite?
FDR: -I live in Buenos Aires and I have no interest in moving. Born and raised in Palermo,, so even though it is now very changed district and has fewer, is an area that I love. My favorite places are Ortuzar and Plaza Villa 25 July. I also love Coleraine, some parts of Chacarita and seems very nice Boedo.
