In 2006, Guillermo Faivovich and Nicolás 
Goldberg began working on A Guide to Campo del 
Cielo, a project that revolves around researching 
the cultural impact of the Campo del Cielo 
meteorites by studying, reconstructing, and 
reinterpreting their visual, oral, and written 
history, aiming to identify their historical and 
contemporary impact. In 2010, their exhibition 
Meteorit El Taco, held at Portikus, Frankfurt, 
brought together the two halves of the El Taco 
meteorite after almost 45 years of being apart. 
Their project is documented in The Campo del 
Cielo Meteorites – Vol 1: El Taco published by 
dOCUMENTA (13) and will also be featured at the 
2012 dOCUMENTA (13) exhibition.Their artistic 
research methods involve bibliographical inquiry, 
archival research, oral history and scientific investigations.
