"Discover the Americas" Exhibition
Local Project
This event has ended.
Local Project presents El Descubrimiento de America/ The Discovery of the Americas, a group exhibition featuring the works of Renzo Ortega, Andrea Lira, Roger Carmona, Maria Jose Duran Steinman, Michael Yaikel and Santiago Salvador Ascui curated by The Tree Nomadic.
The Discovery of the Americas explores how the influences from our surroundings exist or reflect on us physically and psychologically while exploring lands far from our native environment.
Renzo Ortega (Peru/USA), Andrea Lira (Chile/USA), Roger Carmona (Nicaragua/USA), Maria Jose Duran Steinman (Chile/USA), Michael Yaikel (USA/Chile) and Santiago Salvador Ascui (Chile) are Latin American artists whose detailed and graphic-oriented drawings, paintings, sculptures and videos present the human figure inserted within a narrative.
In this exhibition, discovering, surviving and adapting to the unknown are ideas that not only coexist among the artworks but also contradict each other’s worlds.
The exhibition opens on Saturday, October 20th at 6:00 pm in parallel with Standby book launching event with bookbinding Workshop and private readings from 6 to 8 p.m.
