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.
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.
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.
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.
