minerasophia, underground cycles


Minerasophia; Underground Cycles  invita a repensar la lógica extractivista y propone un encuentro sensorial con las materias minerales que forman parte del paisaje y la historia del país  La instalación es parte de una extensa investigación de la artista y arquitecta Mále Uribe, quien junto a la destacada diseñadora Constanza Gaggero, presentará esculturas, materiales y objetos en una instalación audiovisual creada a partir de minerales procesados, relaves y descartes de la minería, así como piedras semipreciosas y sales de litio  Estos elementos, trabajados en conjunto con artesanos y pirquineros locales, proponen nuevas formas de narrar y resignificar las jerarquías de valor atribuidas a cada material

Minerasophia; Underground Cycles invites us to rethink the logic of extractivism and proposes a sensorial encounter with the minerals that are part of the country’s landscape and history. The installation is part of an extensive investigation by artist and designer Mále Uribe, who, together with prominent designer Constanza Gaggero, will present sculptures, materials, and objects in an audiovisual installation created from processed minerals, mining tailings and discards, as well as semiprecious stones and lithium salts. These elements, worked together with local artisans and gold miners, propose new ways of narrating and redefining the hierarchies of value attributed to each material.
