FAIVOVICH & GOLDBERG, A GUIDE TO CAMPO DEL CIELO

Meteorit “El Taco”, 2010, edition of 7 + 2 A/P, variable media and size.
In 2006, Guillermo Faivovich (b.1977) and Nicolás Goldberg (b.1978) began collaborating on A Guide to Campo del Cielo, an ongoing project that revolves around researching the cultural impact of the Campo del Cielo meteorites by studying, reconstructing, and reinterpreting their visual, oral, and written history, aiming to identify it’s historical and contemporary problematics. In 2007, they conceived a 3D stamp depicting the 37-ton “El Chaco”, second largest meteorite on Earth, which was issued by Argentina’s Postal Service. In 2010, the Faivovich & Goldberg exhibition Meteorit „El Taco” was held at Portikus, Frankfurt, where the two main masses of El Taco were reunited, after almost forty-five years of being apart. On occasion of this exhibition, the book The Campo del Cielo Meteorites –Vol 1: El Taco, was edited by dOCUMENTA (13) and Hatje Cantz, including a foreword by Daniel Birnbaum and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. In 2011, the artists participated in the spring lecture series in the MIT program in Art, Culture and Technology “Collision 2: When Artistic and Scientific Research meet”, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and are currently developing a future stage of their project for dOCUMENTA (13), that will be held in Kassel, Germany, during the summer of 2012.
