Exhibition: "Streets of Chile"
Centro Cultural Chileno
Conmemoration of Pablo Neruda’s Centennial
“The challenge in absorbing this exhibit is that it has two connected directions: the first, human participation in the landscape, and the second, artistic intervention upon the image. An image says more than a thousand words. In a world full of mutations and itinerant phenomena, capture of new bearings, quick passages from a culture of bearings unto a culture of processes, appropriation of spaces by modern technologies, and relationships between art and industry, it logically follows that artistic experimentation has a forceful place in this Exhibit Hall. Art – as many critics say – is usually transgressive, establishing pacts with the vanguard (in its essence), and maintaining alive its sense of communication and emotions.
Most of the photographic images of this artist, resident for more than 30 years abroad, speak about Chile in a nostalgic bearing, through digitalized images and with a contrasted prolepsis of colors. There are also multiple relations between clarity and blurring, providing many different ways to reach the photographed object, which in itself speaks about the reconstruction by memory and the re-encounter with his native country.
Such art is related to the art form known as art net, where the main support is the Internet web. The mix of multiple aesthetic materials, related with the artist’s history and the support of new technologies, allow us to have a grand angular vision of the work of this artist.”
