Summary:

50th anniversary commemoration of Nicolás García Uriburu's (Buenos Aires 1937-2016) intervention in June of 1968 of clandestine dying of the waters of the Grand Canal in Venice with a green fluorescent dye called Fluorescein during the Biennial -and without the organizers' knowledge- which signified an unprecedented aesthetic event in contemporary art, as a reflection not only on ecological catastrophe, but also on the role of art and how it configures the world. Besides recording the event with film and photography, García Uriburu, a fundamental reference of land art and, at the same time, a pioneer of ecological awareness formulated with the language of artistic action, kept a group of bottles of the colored water as a testament to his artistic intervention. "This ephemeral action that only affected directly the spectators more or less circumstantial, became memory, record of a lost event, barely preserved in dated bottle containers or in photographs, films and manifestos, which recall the no less ephemeral nature of art and our presence on Earth".
