Abadi, Luis

Through his large street exhibitions in Buenos Aires, he connects with viewers in a direct way, without intermediaries. He is opportunistic in photographing and sharing with the public. His work explores the boundary between the private and the public. He challenges the established norms. With the YEKA Project, he exhibited openly in various locations across the country. In Buenos Aires, it began in the "Plaza del Lector" of the National Library, then he exhibited hanging from the scaffolding of the Administration of National Parks in Plaza San Martín. He traveled through Mendoza, Salta, Jujuy and Mar del Plata. He also installed works at the Konex Cultural Center and the UADE Art Institute. A section of the YEKA Project was exhibited in the emblematic Fotogalería of the C.C. Ricardo Rojas curated by Alberto Goldenstein. Collectively, YEKA was exhibited at the C.C. Kirchner, in Russia, Italy, Spain, Poland, the Czech Republic, Egypt and will soon be exhibited in the Netherlands. He carried out independent installations challenging ARTE BA, Buenos Aires PHOTO and the Ruth Benzacar gallery, proposing stimuli that simultaneously question and propose a possible alternativa of inclusion and democratization. He periodically exhibits his "Artist Books" at MOMA PS1 in New York, at the Argentine Stand curated by Pedro Roth, and also at FELIFA in Buenos Aires. His first edited book, "Colors on the Skin", was presented at MALBA. He then managed to finance his second book of the YEKA Project through a social media crowdfunding campaign. He participated as a "special guest" in the NANO Festival held at the Latin American Photo Library (FOLA) in Buenos Aires. Winner of the second prize at the National Photography Salon 2016.
