Descripción de la Exposición

A partir del 9 de octubre, la galería expondrá a los artistas: Mónica Bengoa, Nicolás Franco, María Ossandón, Cecilia Paredes y Catalina Swinburn en Cromwell Place - Londres, espacio consagrado al arte en el exclusivo vecindario de South Kensington, del cual Aninat Galería es socia desde 2022, estableciendo con esta alianza una sucursal para su propuesta artística en una de las ciudades más influyentes en el mercado del arte contemporáneo. La exhibición de Aninat Galería en Londres se enmarca dentro de la Semana del Arte de la ciudad, semana en que se desarrolla la Feria de Arte Frieze, cita que congrega año tras año al mundo del arte (coleccionistas, curadores, instituciones, críticos y teóricos) en la capital inglesa. Este esfuerzo de la galería es producto de una línea de trabajo consistente por internacionalizar al arte chileno y latinoamericano, generando redes de trabajo y colaboración, que han permitido a lo largo del tiempo engrosar el ecosistema cultural de la región. Nicolás Franco His oeuvre encompasses painting, photography and sculpture, touching on issues of memory and archive, perception and representation with an evocative power of association that moves from the visual to the conceptual and vice versa. Central to his work is the expansion of the vocabulary of photography and painting and its perception. Catalina Swinburn Catalina Swinburn (Santiago, 1979) has been working with the geopolitical concept of displacement. Her practice of weaving vintage documents paper sheets as support became a manifest of political disagreement by using documents of displaced patrimonial treasures, or musical scores of operas with exile thematics, or geopolitical maps. Mónica Bengoa Her artistic production has revolved around the study of the nature of the photographic image and its translation into manual media, following procedures based on a system of technical and material restrictions linked to shifts in drawing, painting, engraving and textile work. Furthermore, it includes interdisciplinary concerns, such as those related to the incorporation of procedures and materials linked to intercultural recognition, as well as the intersections between the visual arts and literature, and the incorporation of the sciences, particularly entomology and botany. Cecilia Paredes Cecilia Paredes explores the theme of identity through ethereal “photo performances” where she camouflages her body against beautifully patterned backdrops and disappears amongst the ornamentation. By presenting herself as part of the landscape, Paredes is building her own identity in relation to the part of the world where she lives and raises the question of how our environment influences who we are. María Ossandón María Ossandón has been collecting and reconstructing pottery pieces from various countries, discovered in antique fairs, each in its different state of preservation. These pottery pieces held value in their domestic setting and can now reflect imaginaries and idealizations of a past or a way of life that stubbornly refuses to fade away entirely. With them, she aims to complete or recreate the scenes that these pottery pieces depict, both to stay faithful to them and to allow for a personal reinterpretation.
