The file is for public consultation. Attention is provided to students of all levels, as well as undergraduate and graduate thesis students, both nationally and internationally.
The tasks developed coincide with the founding objectives of the current Eduardo Sívori museum, which were drafted by councilor Ghío in 1933 in his project to create a space dedicated to Argentine artists. They are essentially reduced to three, “… to give it the character of an effective instrument for scholars and elements of information for the general public… (and)… a valuable didactic complement (that) will aim to enlighten the popular masses of this city .”
Currently, the work carried out in the Research area remains linked to those initial objectives, but obviously updated to the new interests of the attending public and in line with digital technologies.
But the broader meaning of our work focuses on reflecting on the relationship between different artistic manifestations and the impact that they may have for a better understanding of our national identity and the role that they have in keeping social memory active. From this perspective we agree with Griselda Pollock that artistic practices as “cultural practices have a function of great social significance in the articulation of meanings to understand the world, in the negotiation of social conflicts, in the production of social subjects.”
Investigation
The activities carried out in the area specifically focus on the study of our collection through the different productions that support the exhibitions. These are of two types: the patrimonial and the samples of the most representative national artists, either individually or collectively. In the texts produced, special emphasis is placed on the level of information for the visitor as well as their pedagogical routes. The resulting research is published digitally through the fascicle format.

Lectures on the collection and artists that integrate it within the framework of temporary exhibitions
The objective is to achieve greater understanding and dissemination of Argentine art. They feature the presence of artists representative of contemporary art whose works make up the institution’s collection. The purpose of these public lectures is also to introduce visitors to the aesthetics of different creators with renowned careers, who expand shared artistic experiences and their common cultural horizon through their stories.
