Artistic director of Malba steps down after one year in role

"has led to a substantial change in institutional priorities"

"a new phase aimed at supporting its growth and future prospects"

"Suddenly, it feels like being in charge of a different museum,"

"This is spectacular. It changes everything."

Rodrigo Moura will step down next month after one year as artistic director of Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Malba). The museum acquired the Daros Latinamerica Collection, adding more than 1,200 works and doubling Malba's holdings. The acquisition triggered a major institutional expansion and prompted operational, architectural, and curatorial transformation. Incorporation of the collection led to a change in institutional priorities and the creation of a chief executive role responsible for operational management and strategic planning. Artistic direction will be reconfigured around an expanded curatorial team, introducing a more corporate governance model uncommon in the region.
