Virtual Exhibitions

Isabel Croxatto Galería presents Lovesong, solo exhibition by the artist Wladymir Bernechea. The show, curated by Chilean researcher Sebastián Valenzuela-Valdivia, gathers 24 recent paintings that transit between loneliness and longing in a silent battle between black and white, to be presented online starting 28 April in the virtual space ICG+. The exhibition title, Lovesong, is a direct reference to the song of the same name by the British band The Cure from 1989, coincidentally also the year of the artist's birth. 'Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel whole again... However far away, I will always love you' sings Robert Smith, the band's frontman, over a dark pop-tinged melody. In the same way, Wladymir Bernechea explores recurring themes in his production, such as loneliness, melancholy and introspection, through faces, figures and blurred landscapes that silently appear between the sublimation of the whites and the gloom of the blacks.

Isabel Croxatto Galería is pleased to present Ex Post, solo exhibition by textile artist Paloma Castillo, opening 25 November in our virtual gallery space, ICG+ Ex Post gathers a series of 20 medium sized pieces created by the artist. Through the analogous and mechanical exercise of hand embroidery, and in the isolation resulting from the quarantine, the artist expresses her vision of the main events that have affected Chile in recent months: the social outlook following the 18 October social outburst of 2019, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The curatorial text of the exhibition has been written by José Salomón Gebhard, Doctor in Literature from the University of Chile. Meanwhile, Chilean composer and artist Sebastián Jatz has created the soundscape that accompanies the virtual tour of the exhibition.

Isabel Croxatto Galería is pleased to present After Nature by Andrea Wolf, inaugural exhibition of our new virtual gallery space, ICG+. After Nature presents a collection of 23 digitally manipulated botanical illustrations that explore our hypermediated relationship with nature, and how it has been heightened during the pandemic. Each species is affected by a custom-made pixel-sorting algorithm, resulting in mutations that create tensions in the aesthetic idea of nature as something that can be dominated, classified, and possessed.⁣⁣ After Nature features the soundscape 'Estela', created specially for the exhibition by experimental Puerto Rican composer Angélica Negrón, as well as curatorial text by Chilean academic and poet Macarena Urzúa.
