Robert Mapplethorpe, Alejandro Kuropatwa, Grete Stern, Luciana Lamothe and Matilde Marín, among other artists, are part of the sample “Brief History of Eternity” which is exhibited in the Recoleta Cultural Center. The exhibition has pieces on loan from different collections in the most diverse supports such as installation, painting, sculpture, photography and drawing, which eloquently question the temporal and the eternal.
“The exhibition is a portal to think about time, care, the eternal, the ephemeral, the migrant and we find, for example, symbolism through the work of Catherine Leonthe oneiric in Santiago Vialethe religious in Alejandro Kuropatwaorder and chaos in robert mapplethorpe”, describes the curator of the exhibition, Daniel Fisher.
The exhibition features forty national and foreign artists, with works on loan from private and public collections. “It is a splendid artifice that frees us, even fleetingly, from the intolerable oppression of the future,” Fischer said, citing Jorge Luis Borgesabout the reason for the artistic encounter.
In this sense, returning to Borges, the show seeks to resonate with the concept of eternity. “An unfathomable and affective human need that seeks to calm the desire for events, for one’s own and for that of others”, in the words of the curator, adding: “A small portal to access all spaces, all possibilities and all stories and stories of a complex, ductile and brilliant society”.
