Autonomous House of Art and Culture of the Autonomous University of Chile, Europe 1970. Metro Pedro de Valdivia.
From August 8th to September 6th.
Entry freed.
This unprecedented exhibition featuring Carmen Aldunate and María José Romero, mother and daughter artists is a sample of about 50 works in which they share for the first time widely their respective ways of representing the world, from different angles with opposing visions, often given by the temperament of an artist like Carmen Aldunate who has made portrait a way of life in which inquisitor, feverish and unprejudiced way is able to say pictorically this is me.
María José Romero, with a candid world in appearance behind which hides a critical evening and subtle irony that separates it from the conception or cosmogony that Aldunate has built, this is clearly perceived in the exhibition of Casa Autónoma Arte y Cultura with the work of its esc ceramic ultures, those that respond to a more primitive world approaching the shamanic, with beings and animals that have a correspondence with ceramics from pre-Hispanic peoples of Mexico we can mention the figures of the Paquimé culture in the north or the Michoacans Tarascan.
The possibility of seeing two artists united in the familiar and in the plastic, is a rare fact, but it also becomes more interesting when confronting imaginaries of different kinds that the viewer will allow to make a retrospective that will delve into their approach to these two important national artists. The exhibition “Cosa Nostra” will be open to all audiences from August 8 thy 6th to September 6th from Monday to Saturday between 10 and 19 hours and you can also enjoy the beautiful construction that is Casa Autónoma Arte y Cultura that is Historical Heritage since 1966 and that was restored in its entirety by the Autonomous University of Chile in 2012.
