Faena Arts Center

The regnant beauty queen of hospitality, the Philippe Starck–designed Faena Hotel + Universe in Puerto Madero has helped transform a Dios-forsaken wasteland into the city’s glamorous new high-rent district. The recent opening of Alan Faena’s namesake arts complex, located in a former grain mill two blocks from the hotel, will surely add to the area’s allure. From May 15 to July 15 there will be an installation by Los Carpinteros, a feted Cuban art collective. (Aimé Paine 1169; 011.54.11.4010.9233; faenaartscenter.org)
