On September 26th, «Lejos, muy lejos» (Far, Far Away) arrives at the Galería Artes Visuales of Matucana 100. Lejos, muy lejos» (Far, Far Away), curated by Ignacio Szmulewicz, is an exhibition of thirteen works by Chilean artists from a wide range of generations who share the experience of living in the diaspora of the globalized world. They turn their gaze -from Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, Argentina, Holland- to their country of origin to make an artistic revision of their past, identity and wounds, based on personal experiences, archival research, community dialogues and even archaeological findings.

On Tuesday, October 3 at 7 p.m., Il Posto Documentos hosted a presentation by artist Paula Baeza Pailamilla about her participation in the exhibition «Lejos, muy lejos» at the Matucana 100 Cultural Center. According to the curator’s words «For Paula Baeza Pailamilla (1988) -one of the thirteen artists participating in the show and whose video-performance Anümn / Plantar / Sow (2020) questions Europe’s contemporary colonialism with the native peoples of Latin America-, revisiting Chile’s history from art is an excellent opportunity to reflect and critically think about the country’s official narratives.» During the presentation, the artist talked about these works and other research that stems from her practice.
