What to Do During the Week & the Weekend in Buenos Aires

A new space has just opened in San Telmo, and it’s well worth a visit. Tacuarí 1080 is the result of a collaboration between the art gallery Subsuelo and the design studio Darkhaus, both from Rosario, which have landed in Buenos Aires with more than 360 square meters spread across three floors.

Contemporary art, designer pieces, and a shop featuring unique objects coexist in a building specifically conceived to host multiple functions: exhibition rooms with natural light, open storage spaces accessible to the public, areas for presentations and talks. Among the artists on display is the work of Rubén Baldemar, a Rosario-born artist who helped shape the early 1990s Argentine art scene from outside the mainstream circuit, alongside works by more than 20 contemporary artists, most of them also from Rosario.

Good to know: You can visit the gallery free of charge from Thursday to Saturday, from 2pm to 7pm.

Where: Tacuarí 1080.

Three new exhibitions have just opened at the Quinquela Martín Museum, each with its own distinct significance. The first is María del arrabal, by Adolfo Pérez Esquivel: a visual reinterpretation of Astor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer’s tango opera María de Buenos Aires, offering a contemporary and feminist perspective on its protagonist through techniques ranging from paper to plastic.

The second is a tribute to master painter José “Pipo” Ferrari, the Italian-Argentine artist who deliberately worked outside the official art circuit, creating a body of work centered on northwestern Argentina and shaped by transformative journeys through the Altiplano that influenced his aesthetic for life. The third, En la bajante, brings together 25 years of photographs and paintings by Sergio Pisani depicting the neighborhood of La Boca—not through tourist clichés, but through a deeper and more authentic lens. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:15am to 6pm.

Good to know: Admission is AR$2,000 for Argentine residents and foreigners with an Argentine ID, and free on Wednesdays. Retirees and university students with valid identification enter free every day.

Where: Av. Don Pedro de Mendoza 1835.

The Rojas’ Tuesday music series has been a staple since the 1990s, and on June 9 it presents a double bill worth catching. First up is Viaje Relámpago, the indie quartet made up of Fernando Blanco, Mariano López Gringauz, Sebastián Kramer, and Germán Perla, presenting their self-titled album: ten songs recorded between 2024 and 2025 where noise and harmony complement rather than oppose each other.

Later, Super Ratones celebrate 40 years since their beginnings in Mar del Plata with Camouflage, a collection of rarities that mixes reimagined versions of their own songs with covers of artists such as Charly García, Litto Nebbia, Tom Petty, and The Posies.

Good to know: Tickets cost AR$7,500 and are available through this link or on the day of the show at the ground-floor box office, starting two hours before the performance. Cash only.

The Teatro San Martín Contemporary Ballet premieres a double bill on June 12 at 6pm, featuring works by two young choreographers exploring the intersections between contemporary dance and other forms, including jazz, urban dance, folklore, and Afro-diasporic traditions.

The first piece, by Georgi Seva, starts from discomfort as an initial state and explores the fullness of existence through movement. The second, by Maia Roldán, examines what happens to the body when it is shaped by the rhythm of 6/8—a musical pattern that originated in Africa, traveled through Peru, and found its way to Argentina.

They’re back—and this time with a new album. On June 12, Pulp performs at Movistar Arena as part of its Latin American tour, three years after returning to the stage and carrying More, its first studio album in 24 years.

The new songs explore desire, aging, and maturity, retaining the band’s signature pop sophistication while carrying the lingering influence of bassist Steve Mackey, who passed away in 2023. From their beginnings in Sheffield to the present day, Jarvis Cocker and company have built one of the most intelligent and enduring catalogs of the Britpop era.
