New York Times - view complete note
[...] To find Appetite , an avant-garde gallery that everyone I met recommended, I had to return to one of San Telmo's less atmospheric blocks. Pop-punk exuberance is Appetite's stock in trade, its walls (and floors) are covered in a profusion of styles , from Ariel Cusnir's paintings of idealized tropical islands and Anabella Papa's witty paintings of beautiful, casual violence (schoolboys brawling, a man attacked by a wolf) to a row of blue plastic shopping bags and a paint can frozen in mid-spill atop a table.

“The best of an intense year for art in buenos Aires:
When all the movement seemed to be getting installed at Palermo […] the Daniela Luna tornado opened the appetite with an art gallery in San Telmo and she's taking the scene into her hands. They say that in art schools they’re already writing thesis on her, and though there are some who criticize her, many of the best artists , young and not so young (Lux Lindner, Yanina Szalkowikz, Ana Vogelfang, Juliana Iriart) have shown their work under her wing. …”

By Kiwi Sainz Daniela Luna contradicts astronomic laws, she has the earth at her feet and around her gallery/planet orbit many of the new best artists . […] she carries the gallery with exquisite artist gluttony. It’s well known that artists-run-galleries are the last cry of international art, and Appetite owns the unquestionable prize of the best openings of Buenos Aires . Making excess and experimentation her war shout she journeys strip trash cyberhot aesthetics […] “I feel attracted by technology advances and how this creates new codes and affects the relations. Usually I work using my life as a starting point.” […]”
TANTO DESEO is my new project after APPETITE
APPETITE is a contemporary art gallery
To view more about APPETITE checkhttp://www.appetite.com.ar
It's going to open this march, in the original's APPETITE space, Venezuela 638 San Telmo - Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As the gallery has moved a block away, to Chacabuco 551, a very inspiring 400 meters space, former meat store and frigorific.
TANTO DESEO is going to be working with art, objects, design and music, mostly oriented to sexual, sensual, erotic subjects.
Everyone who has visited APPETITE has been amazed by it and I intend to work for that same purpose at TANTO DESEO, to build a second home, full of excitment and challenging ideas.
Love
Daniela Luna
