Retrospective catalogue edited on the occasion of artist Víctor Castillo's Born in '73 solo exhibition, presented on March 2016 by KP Projects/Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles, California.
The title Born in '73 is a self-reflective reference to the artist's generation as well as to a historic coincidence. 'I was born in an experiment', Castillo says about the military dictatorship that was established in Chile in 1973 following the neoliberal model of Chicago school economists. The feelings of fear and impotence provoked by a brutal political and social system are humorously evoked in Castillo's painting of the same title, Born in '73, of being stomped underfoot.
The publication features 50 artworks created by Víctor Castillo between 2007 and 2016.
