Ferrari continued on to have one man shows in Argentina and to raise criticism from the church and newspapers through his sarcastic religious and political works such as The Impregnating Tree (the first to openly criticize Christianity). In 2000 Ferarri’s exhibition of Infiernos e Idolatrias (Hells and Idolatries) at the Latin American Institute of Co-operation protested against human and divine tortures. This provoked Catholic groups into sending tear gas grenades into the building. In 2004, Ferrari had a retrospective at the Recoleta Cultural Centre, which was called blasphemous by Archbishop Bergoglio and was closed down and reopened by the authorities.
