Splendid exhibition at the Recoleta Cultural Center, which in this way returned to the visual arts as in its original years. The curatorship is by Daniel Fischer.
From the 80s to the first decades of the 2000s, in the Recoleta Cultural Center Very important exhibitions of established artists were held, from which many other emerging artists also emerged who currently have a vast career. Now its rooms have been recovered for the visual arts.

We visited Cronopios, J and C, where it is exhibited “How much love weighs”curated by Daniel Fisherwho invited 60 artists to across multiple disciplines They display their creativity on such a compelling topic that, despite the overwhelming technology and AI, still worries human beings.
A statement from the daughter of fischer six years old, “love doesn’t have to hurt” was the trigger for this excellent exhibition in which we must stop and reflect. Fortunately there are benches to sit on, since these have disappeared from exhibits in museums and institutions where mega samples provocative of “Stendhal syndrome” are currently exhibited.
The triggering work we referred to was “Sea of tears” of Pablo Suarez, a small resin sculpture of a naked man with tears flowing all over his body. Another work of Suárez, “Sentimental”reveals the artist’s love for a stray dog that is in a cardboard box at the foot of an installation of Carlos Herrera, a tribute to his father, which occupies a large central space; The work is related to death: wreaths, withered flowers, sheets, bottles, stuffed animals, bones, perhaps many more elements than the eye can encompass.
Another work of Herrera made with Claudia del Río, “Trulalá”, It consists of six cut glass urns with skulls painted in gold powder. Paula Toto Blake and Yanina Faour They present in bronze and volcanic stone a carnivorous collection of jewelry that supposedly cannot be worn. Stands out “Pas de Deux” by Mónica Fierroa specialist in artist’s books, with her meticulous work of cutting out small leaves on fabric.
An excellent painting of Guillermo Conte from 1995, “Two white flowers on a dark background”, They have an ominous character. An installation of tulle nightgowns that range from white to red. “Sleep disorders” of the artist born in Paraguay, Claudia Casarinothey talk about the body, the woman’s scream, a complaint about the trafficking network.
The pillows Diana Schufera sound work, are in direct relationship, we remember, with a work by the artist and psychologist “Where the letters come together” that was exhibited at a biennial in Havana and in “Home Sweet Home” in Muntref, since love is key in his work. Another work to highlight is the video installation of Silvia Rivas “The reverse of the armor” Made in 2022, with the subtlety that characterizes it: a woman struggles with her paper dress that does not protect her, trying to escape from something that bothers her and hurts her.
Along with the excellent photos of Ernesto Deira and Jorge de la Vega by Anatole Saderman there is a 30 minute video of Hernan Marina who has always stood out as a light sculptor but who ventures into video. It is a fiction that alters reality and recreates the unforgettable night in 1958 in which María Callas made her Parisian debut in the role of Tosca. It is almost impossible to pass by the music and the hypnotic singing of the diva in “Le Partenaire” and its extraordinary assembly. A sample that should not be missed due to its high level.
