Exhibition that collects the exploration with living organisms of various artists and laboratories. Barrios Bajos Gallery, Valdivia, Chile.
Year: 2018
Role: General Producer
Humanity in its productive eagerness has tried to accelerate, modify and control natural cycles and transformation processes, interrupting ecology and unleashing a global crisis where materiality in the design and architecture industries plays a fundamental role. From the temporality of the work, the so-called «programmed obsolescence», the waste and disappearance of the materials used, an urgent need has been revealed for different designers, architects and artists to renew and rethink the relationship between nature and culture; to analyze the problem of the control of the form as a symptom of the impulse of domination of the material reality typical of our culture; to rethink the logics of production through the analysis of the relevance of materiality and the symbolic logics behind our objects.
