PAINTING
Wardrobe - Dominique Bradbury
Bradbury obsessively examines feminine-coded elements-fashion details, skincare routines, trends-in dialogue with a 19th-century painting from MAC's collection by Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma, colliding present aesthetics with historical representation.
CONTEMPORARY
Finding, Replica, Fiction - Hugo Leonello
In 2017, Hugo Leonello discovered 1980s protest pamphlets hidden in the museum building's structure. That discovery became the catalyst for an investigation and reconstruction exploring archival gesture and historical erasure.
SCULPTURE
Twisted Branch
Site-specific installation imagining a climate-changed future transformed into vast wetlands, mangroves and swamps. Rather than arid desolation, the exhibition proposes a humid dystopia inspired by climate fiction and J.G. Ballard's submerged worlds.
EXHIBITIONS
Memory of the Thresholds - Pía Aldana
Through collecting, humans transform objects into icons and symbols imbued with value and meaning. Aldana explores this same phenomenon in memory using miniatures and sounds of buildings and objects from the Biobío region.
EXHIBITIONS
Linking Exercises - Emilio Fuentes Traverso
Visual artist and biology professor Emilio Fuentes Traverso explores scientific observation and temporal speculation through natural elements, industrial components and cosmic phenomena. His practice investigates matter as transformation across geological and industrial scales.
CONTEMPORARY
Sensitive Matter
Part of Colección MAC's educational programme, commemorating fifty years of the museum's photographic collection. Two gallery spaces at MAC Quinta Normal: one with bright light for community exercises, another dark space evoking camera obscura phenomena.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Poetics of Waters - Cheril Linett
Five site-specific performances linking performative imagery, photography and audiovisual documentation to death, abuse, injustice and gender violence. Recurring coastal symbols-crosses, houses, animitas-reveal heteropatriarchal violence across Chilean territory.
EXHIBITIONS
The Wheat and the Gold - Cecilia Hormazábal
Artistic investigation exploring fragmented history and memory of Chanchomallin reduction near Carahue. Late 19th and early 20th century Chilean state invaded final free Mapuche territories, implementing forced confinement through reductions - small land parcels fragmented…
EXHIBITIONS
Other Worlds Exist, But They Are in This One - José Cori & RolanKay
RolanKay's paintings explore shadow and dim light in enclosed spaces pierced by light beams, evoking tension, eroticism and mystery through unstable contours. Cori's works deploy mythic and religious imagery across complementary visual narratives.
SCIENCE
Museo Nacional de Historia Natural
Chile's natural history museum in Quinta Normal park since 1830. Paleontology, zoology and Chilean ecosystems. The whale skeleton hall is iconic. Free admission.
