Born in Buenos Aires in 1943, Marta Minujín became a rebel in 1959, when she secretly married the young economist Juan Carlos Gómez. She was just 16. That same year, still a student, Minujín exhibited her work at the Teatro Agón; then it was on to Paris, to study on scholarship. There she encountered the work of the Nouveaux Realistes, whose idea of transforming art into life soon consumed her. Indeed, in a 1962 exhibition Minujín burned her own paintings. She then worked on “livable sculptures” and invited the likes of Christo and Paul-Armand Gette to destroy them—a happening! Now 82, Minujín is still going strong. Two of her giant inflatable outdoor sculptures have landed in the Miami’s Design District for two weeks. The labyrinthin structures, wearing irresistible lollipop stripes, are titled Sculpture of Desires and Emotional Candy. —Elena Clavarino
