About
An invitation to reflect on the perception of simple things, through the eyes of the artists of the Chilean collection of the MNBA, which brings together 85 pieces selected by the curator Paula Honorato. Still lifes, photographs and engravings of household items, sculptural objects of indefinable forms, assemblies of disused objects and variants of the "ready-made", make up this exhibition, which proposes a journey around the representation and appropriation of objects of various kinds by the practices of the visual arts in Chile, through the works of 69 authors, covering the period from the late 19th to the early 21st century.
