Check out the Artishock’s article by curator Claudia Cofré Cubillos featuring the show!

Where the sky touches the earth is a poetic expression that refers us to a clear and transparent image of northern Chile. It is where the blue of the sky merges with the different shades of brown, ochre, red and orange of the earth and the hills. It is where the desert has no end and we discover ourselves in our fragility and finitude.”

Donde el cielo toca la tierra es una expresión poética que nos remite a una imagen nítida y transparente del norte de Chile. Es donde el azul del cielo se fusiona con los distintos tonos de marrones, ocres, rojos y anaranjados de la tierra y los cerros. Es donde el desierto no tiene fin y nos descubrimos en nuestra fragilidad y finitud.”
