As part of her residency at Ebenböckhaus, artist Emilia de las Carreras (Argentina) gives a guest lecture to Klasse Pirici at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The lecture is titled “An Organized Form of Curiosity” and is followed by one-on-one conversations between the artist and academy students.

Emilia de las Carreras (Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a visual artist based in Buenos Aires. Her practice centers on the collection and transformation of discarded materials encountered in urban environments. Working across sculpture, installation, and site-responsive projects, she reactivates objects such as aluminum bottle caps, glass fragments, shells, and construction debris, exploring the social, ecological, and affective histories they carry. Through processes of weaving, assembling, and collaboration, de las Carreras creates suspended structures and sculptural forms that evoke bodies, organisms, and systems of adaptation. Informed by research in medicine and biology, her work reflects on ideas of healing, mutation, and care, investigating how everyday materials can become repositories of collective memory and forms of connection. Emilia de las Carreras is in residence at Ebenböckhaus in Munich from July 7 to September 24, 2026. The residency is a collaboration between the City of Munich Department of Arts and Culture and Salta art, in partnership with ERA Foundation.

This lecture is organized by the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in collaboration with Salta art.
