Von Calhau!

Tau Tau

Guardians of an archive of the obscure, the artistic duo Van Calhau! create work generated by the mystery of the obvious (blatancy). The Von Calhau! are carried away by a deep connection, sometimes almost primitive, to the world they inhabit.

Come to Play with God and Devil (Pinball Bosch)

Bosch’s triptych “The Temptations of Saint Anthony” is a masterpiece of Western art and a highlight of the collection at Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga. Inspired on it, the Argentine playwright and theatre director Rodrigo García creates an installation with a flipper machine, to offer us a pop, demonic and hallucinated dimension of the painting.
