After the long trip to la beautiful casa Lo Matta in Vitacura. I got to CH.ACO. Lets start with the general: I was not so dissatisfied because that is too strong a reaction, it was eh. Neither here nor there, any of excitement was frequently met with a sigh around the corner.
They were there too, of course, commercial galleries that plastered the space with dinky paintings. These rodentia of galleries were accompanied by some big mammals. The notable galleries in Santiago were showing a collections which have gotten pretty strong and internationally renown. Animal, showed their Sala 0, where as its numerical value implicates about to bloom. Included were Gabriel Schkolnick's 3AM series, still warm from the Centro Cultural Palacio la Moneda Exhibition. I was really interested in Animal's space just because the artists were surpased the beyond the overall standard of work. Though surprisingly commercial, it was clear in its international standard presentation that this group was a bigger fish in the see. (its only fitting to use zoological refrences when discussing Galeria Animal) I would say that Animal's artists are very grounded and then in method have a cheeky process that is smart and inventive.
-excuse me, I'm just going to sit in the Ch.Aco lounge for a moment and have a coffee.-
After the recharge. Heading to the university spaces where Andres Bello and Universidad Finis Terrae had narrow hallways to show their most notable students. These students aren't dumb, they are mature artists that clearly took the opportunity to be in the fair seriously.
After all of that its time for another coffee.
