Winner of the call “Thinking the city”, Solange Contreras presents at El Invernadero “Urbano vegetal”, an exhibition that reimagines the urban green infrastructure as an artistic medium where to question the rigid boundaries between the human and the natural. His three-dimensional pieces function as hybrid landscapes where tree branches and chair legs intertwine, braids made of recycled rubber and cotton, ceramics that insert animal pieces, warps woven with plastic and wicker… Each work is born from the combination of plant fragments and manufactured waste found at random, generating creatures that resignify matter and question its original meanings.
ART U READY returns to ARCO week for the ninth year, presenting the first solo exhibition of Chilean artist Solange Contreras (1975).
