extractivism
Extraction:liquid Flames of The Solid Core
Extractivism has been the backbone of modern economies and our carbon-based society, but has a far deeper historical track. The exhibition proposes a certain circularity in which the materials we mine float around and inside the human body and psyche, influence political turns, and our identity. Works by Ana Alenso, Miguel Soto, Callum Hill, Alina Manukyan, Alejandra Prieto & Matthew C. Wilson
ANDRÉS PEREIRA PAZ: RADIO CARABUCO
The exhibition project «Radio Carabuco» at Künstlerhaus Bethanien has evolved from the podcast station of the same name created by Bolivian artist Andrés Pereira Paz (b.1986, La Paz). The starting point is the artist’s critical reflections on a vision of hell produced by the painter José López de los Ríos, created in 1664, in the town of Carabuco in Bolivia. This painting, commissioned by the Catholic church, can still be seen in Carabuco’s church on the shores of Lake Titicaca in La Paz.
