Life

Carnevale was a member of the artist group Grupo de Arte de Vanguardia de Rosario (translated: Avant-garde artist group of Rosario ), founded in 1965 . Together with artists from Buenos Aires , the artist group carried out the Tucumán Arde campaign . In 1969 the artist group disbanded; some of the members turned away from art completely. She founded the documentation center and photo archive of the Grupo de Arte de Vanguardia , which she has been in charge of since 1968. Since the 1990s, Carnevale has been working again as an art producer, often with artist groups. She is a lecturer at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

Acción del Encierro

In October 1968, together with her group of artists, she carried out the Acción del Encierro (translated: imprisonment), during which she locked the visitors of an alleged vernissage in the exhibition space for more than an hour without prior notice or explanation. Carnevale describes the progress of the happening: “But as time went by, this evidently generated anguish, or a restlessness, and, they began trying to rescue one another, to disassemble the window, the door, dismantle the padlock, with which they had been locked up. And, finally, it was someone from outside, who in that moment of tension, he broke the window by kicking it in. That's how he enabled everyone to escape. "The action took place against the backdrop of the Argentine military dictatorship The aim was to unleash liberating violence as a counter-reaction to the violence symbolically exercised by the artists according to the works of Frantz Fanon .
