Marta Minujín is a pioneering Argentine visual artist, known for her avant-garde, playful and participatory work. She studied at the Manuel Belgrano School of Fine Arts and the Prilidiano Pueyrredón National School in Buenos Aires. In 1961, she received a scholarship to study in Paris, where she created her first performance, La Destrucción (1963). Upon returning to Buenos Aires, she won the Torcuato Di Tella Institute National Prize for Revuélquese y viva! (1964), her first interactive installation. In 1965, she co-created La Menesunda—an innovative multisensory experience—with Rubén Santantonín. A Guggenheim Fellowship took her to New York in 1966, where she collaborated on major media projects such as Simultaneity in Simultaneity (with Allan Kaprow and Wolf Vostell) and Minuphone (1967). Throughout the 1970s, she lived between the US and Argentina, organising iconic happenings and performances such as Interpenning (1972), Kidnappening (1973), La Academia del Fracaso (1975) and Comunicando con tierra (1976). Her work—characterised by colour, humour, social critique and ephemeral materials such as mattresses and inflatables—has been exhibited worldwide, cementing her place as a leading figure in Latin American contemporary art. Her works are held in private collections and museums around the world. In 2026, Minujín contributed to Salta art’s publication Encounters, Vol II, together with Andrea Lissoni.
