About Until we get to the core / Hasta llegar al Meollo

The exhibition addresses the fractured relationship between humans and the natural world. Rather than treating landscapes as subjects to be represented, the artists engage them as collaborators that shape the conditions of artistic practice itself. Moving between bodies, materials, territories, and forms of knowledge, the works follow the demands of each process rather than the boundaries of any single discipline, asking what kinds of attention, responsibility, and imagination are required to repair our estrangement from the cycles that sustain life.

Throughout the exhibition, materials act not as symbols but as teachers. Soil carries the memory of territories, peat serves as habitat, archive, and slow collaborator, singing drums reverberate with the generosity of the land, and a branch becomes a partner in movement. Learn more.

The exhibition features long-term projects by Amara Abdal Figueroa, Jorge González Santos, Camila Marambio & Ariel Byía, Gala Porras-Kim, Ernesto Pujol, and Merián Soto.
