The last exhibition I went to.

Very recently, at the beginning of the week, the inauguration of Cristián Rodríguez's exposition at the Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile (Las Encinas campus) took place. This exposition is set within the frame of the cycle “Tesis 11”, which corresponds to a circuit of shows set in the Egenau room of our Faculty by all the artists which graduated during the current year. The main characteristic of this shows is that they are both the showcase and culmination of the creative proyect that allows them to obtain their bachelor's degree in Arts.

This time it was Rodríguez's turn, with his work “Obra en construcción”. The objective of his work is to set in scene the processing condition of every work currently under construction and suspend through it the function of each one of the work tools that compose every scene. In aesthetic terms, Rodriguez's work seeks to retrieve the objective nature of objects, by using the "play dough" technique, a process which transforms the surface of objects by distancing from its referent only material terms. In this way cement bags, security helmets and mallets, amongst others, lay in exhibition at the Juan Egenau room.

The exposition open on Monady January the 30th and will end this Friday February the 3rd.
