Trabajos de campo

This exhibition seeks to address environmental issues from various artistic representations and become a space where different local and international viewpoints can meet.

Taking as its starting point the magazine Expedición a Chile, a publication from the 70’s on interdisciplinary and coordinated work between science, art and illustration, the exhibition combines different approaches and interpretations of nature.

Trabajos de Campo – Field Works will also present other scientific records, such as drawings and notations by the expeditionary Alexander von Humboldt, along with works created in various media by local contemporary artists such as Máximo Corvalán-Pincheira, Josefina Guilisasti, Bernardo Oyarzún and Gaspar Aprilot (along with Jorge Rowlands) and internationals such as Hélène Binet (Switzerland), Henrik Håkansson (Sweden), Pierre Huyghe (France), Marcelo Moscheta (Brazil), Anne Noble (New Zealand) and Nicole Schuck (Germany).

In addition, the exhibition will present the work and scientific observations of Reinaldo Vargas (lichenologist), Juan Larraín (bryologist) and Pablo Sandoval (mycologist), under the coordination of Fundación Chilco.

With a joint curatorship between Pablo Brugnoli, architect, Master in Cultural Heritage and interim executive director of Centro Cultural La Moneda, Jorge Godoy, architect, academic and photographer and the team at CCLM, the exhibition responds to a work of more than a year crossed by the reflection on coexistence when thinking about environmental problems of territories, climates and species.

Additionally, Trabajos de campo counts on the advice of Emanuele Coccia, one of the most influential philosophers of today, whose work is recognized for its innovative approach to the link between the theories of the imagination and the nature of living beings. Author of La vida de las plantas y Metamorfosis and academic of the School of Higher Studies of Social Sciences in Paris.
