Conversations in Chile: Hans Ulrich Obrist Interviews

Hans Ulrich Obrist

Roberto Matta, Cecilia Vicuna, Alfredo Jaar, Paz Errazuriz and others offer insight into Chilean art and politics

This volume looks closely at the Chilean experimental art scene, in which practitioners have mastered avant-garde strategies and encouraged cultural dissidence. Over the past five years Hans Ulrich Obrist interviewed three generations of Chilean artists, performers and writers, many of whom worked despite the horrific violence and censorship of the Pinochet dictatorship and now navigate through the hazy context that surrounds the post-dictatorial nation in the 21st century. This unique constellation of practices has become a model for a particular mode of postmodernism based on research and experimentation. The stunning archival images and extensive interviews organized chronologically with Roberto Matta, Juan Pablo Langlois, Catalina Parra, Sylvia Palacios Whitman, Carmen Beuchat, Eugenio Dittborn, Paz Errazuriz, Juan Davila, Gonzalo Diaz, Cecilia Vicuna, Diamela Eltit, Raul Zurita, Alfredo Jaar and Seba Calfuqueo offer a deeply personal insight into Chile's evolving culture.
