Cristina Ghetti
Cristina Ghetti is an Argentine artist based in Valencia, Spain. Her practice is rooted in geometric abstraction, expanding its possibilities through painting, installation, and new media. Her work explores concepts such as perception, immersion, interactivity, and synesthesia, while also addressing abstraction from a Latin American and feminist perspective.
Her work has been exhibited across Europe and the Americas, and is part of major public and private collections including MACBA (Buenos Aires), Fundación Ortíz Gurdián, Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), Universitat Politècnica de València. She has also exhibited alongside key figures of geometric abstraction such as Julio Le Parc, Victor Vasarely, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Eusebio Sempere and José María Yturralde.Configurable Residency Program was searching for.

Kinetic wall sculpture
TIDAL MEMORY translates Ghetti’s exploration of rhythm and perception into a sculptural object. Defined by black and white undulating lines, the piece evokes the motion of tides while introducing a dynamic element through a central axis that allows manual rotation. Balanced around its gravitational center, the piece can remain in any position, shifting the work from a static Op Art composition into an interactive experience, where each position generates a new visual reading.
The piece can be installed in multiple orientations, reinforcing the core principle of Configurable Art by allowing the viewer to actively engage with and redefine the work
Configurable Art is proud to present TIDAL MEMORY by artist Cristina Ghetti, developed as part of our Special Guests program.
The artist collaborated with Felipe Pantone and his team to explore the transformation of her MAREAS series into a new format, researching how a two-dimensional optical composition could evolve into a kinetic wall piece through material, structure, and movement.
Tidal Memory
Se siente como: estar dentro de un sistema en su punto de máxima intensidad, activo, inestable y vivo.
No estás mirando la ola: estás dentro de la condición que la hace posible.
La pieza no remite a un lugar ni a una imagen concreta, sino a una condición: la de un umbral de intensidad en el que todo parece activado.
Es un estado en el que no hay reposo, donde el sistema —sea el mar, un cuerpo o una estructura— funciona al máximo de sus capacidades.
Sin embargo, esa intensidad no es estable; se sostiene en un equilibrio frágil, siempre al borde de transformarse o desbordarse.
Sitúa al espectador dentro de un presente intensificado, un momento en el que todo está ocurriendo a la vez, de forma viva, inestable y abierta.
