2nd semester MSSA exhibitions by Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende

Featured by the international press and described as the greatest artistic recovery that has taken place in Chile, this exhibition celebrates the arrival in the Museum of a group of works donated between 1972 and 1973, which after the coup were clandestinely deposited in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (MNBA). These works, that remained hidden for such a long time, arrived from Switzerland, the United States, France and Japan, after being created by artists who were committed to the cultural project of the Museum, such as Robert Motherwell, Nancy Graves, Tetsuya Noda and Roberto Matta, among others. Conceived as a journey through the breaks and opacities of our cultural history, the exhibition also recalls two exhibitions of the Museo de la Solidaridad, held in 1973, with works by Joan Miró, Eduardo Chillida and Noemi Gerstein, among others. It also includes documentation of the research, carried out in collaboration with the MNBA, and the restoration process, carried out with the support of the National Center of Conservation and Restoration, both institutions of the Cultural Patrimony National Services of MInistry of Cultures, Arts and Patrimony. Artists featured in Debut: Rodolfo Abularach, Graciela Aranís, Arnold Belkin, Ueli Berger, Marino Biarge, Rafael Bogarín, Marcelo Bonevardi, Serge Brignoni, Jacques De Feline, Paul Delapoterie, Jorge Luis Ducet, Gerald Ducimetiére, Marianne Eigenheer, Fedor Ganz, Rémi Gay, Vita Giorgi, Leonel Góngora, Nancy Graves, Arnold Gross, Albert Lasseur, Laura Márquez, Roberto Matta, Luis Molinari - Flores, Robert Motherwell, Tetsuya Noda, Miguel Ocampo, María Luisa Pacheco, César Paternosto, Liliana Porter, Omar Rayo, Luis Alberto Solari, Jack Youngerman. Other artists featured in the collection: Antonio Berni, Eduardo Chillida, Jean Dewasne, Noemí Gerstein, Robert Israel, Joan Miró, Adja Yunkers. < Tetsuya Noda, Diary : Sept. 11th '68, 1968 (detail)

The result of a cross-sectional work in the República neighborhood, this exhibition brings together textiles, videos, texts, publications and photographs addressing the past, present and future of this downtown heritage district, where the MSSA has been located since 2006. These experimental works have been created collaboratively by neighbors, artists and museum professionals through a series of reflection meetings and creation workshops carried out during the last two years, through the Mirada de Barrio research project. The project, a neighborhood co-creation program, seeks to activate the senses of community, neighborhood networks and the appreciation of heritage from art. Workshops such as community textile, photographic intervention, creative writing, experimental publication and postal art were some of the instances generated during this process. With an unprecedented participatory curatorship, the exhibition rescues the view and stories of the inhabitants of this neighborhood, a traditional sector of Santiago of great historical and architectural wealth, which recomposes its social fabric facing challenges such as real estate growth, population heterogeneity, crime and coexistence with the surrounding college students. Artists, artistic collectives and institutions participating in workshops: Iconoclasistas, Nido Textil (Daniela Pizarro), Dudo Ediciones (María Paz Morales), Rafael Guendelman, Andrés Lima, Gabriel Larenas, Ignacia Biskupovic and the Photographic Heritage Center of the Diego Portales University.

Hidroscopy / Loa Artist: Claudia Gonzรกlez

The space dedicated to contemporary art in the MSSA hosts the artist Claudia Gonzรกlez, who proposes a critical and poetic look at the physical relationship between water, copper and electricity, through a sound installation with samples taken from the El Loa River, one of the most polluted rivers in Chile. Formulated from a research carried out by the artist in the region of Antofagasta in June 2018, the exhibition evokes the water course through six points: Taira; the meeting points of El Loa with the Salado and San Salvador Rivers; Quillagua and the mouth of the Tocopilla coast. Since 2015, Gonzรกlez has been carrying out an artistic process that challenges the concepts of evolution and technological development, giving rise to a critical look towards the exploitation of natural resources and its consequences: water pollution and desertification. The exhibition includes laser engravings that show the microscopic conformation of the waters of El Loa and two videos, which document the artist's research process by means of zenith and field records, in interaction with the community and the territory. This exhibition is possible thanks to contributions from the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage (through the New Media Area of the Visual Arts Department), the Research and Creation contest of the Visual Arts Department of the Universidad de Chile and the Se Vende Collective. Claudia Gonzรกlez Godoy (CL) independent media artist and manager of educational projects in Art and Technology.
