The exhibition is a collective portfolio made by the members of the workshop remembering Ángel Santisteban, Urbano González and Roser Bru, National Arts Prize winner in 2015.
It exhibits a set of 55 engravings inspired by the three members of Taller 99 who died between 2021 and 2022. The exhibition includes works by those honored.
In the words of Rafael Munita, one of the directors of Taller 99 “the recognition, the living memory and the active affection that each artist expressed in their work is the result of the mature reflection and sensitive disposition with which they faced an image, a idea, a technique, an action or a gesture from the work of those who left, as a heartfelt memory that mobilized their memory and their graphics.”
In 2022, and in the midst of his engraving for this folder, Raúl Molina, another valuable and beloved member of Taller 99, unfortunately passed away, so this manifestation of affection was extended to his memory, including the posthumous edition of his work. Munita explains, “we dedicate this exhibition to these four valuable predecessors, symbolizing in them the value of keeping memory active, honing the present to enliven the future.”
For her part, Marcela Bañados, curator of Museo Taller, states that “for our museum to receive these 55 works, plus those of the honored artists, it is a privilege and an opportunity to exhibit, not only the exceptional work of great exponents of engraving in our country. , but also to value the techniques, the craft, the machines and tools that make the process of multiplying images and ideas possible.”
Among the artists present in the exhibition are Isabel Cauas, Carmen Valbuena, Patricia Velasco, Javiera Moreira, Carlos Damacio Gómez, Nelson Plaza, Gabriela Villegas, Beatriz Leyton and Magdalena Ludwig.
The exhibition will include workshops open to the public that will allow students to learn about some of the techniques used in making these engravings, specifically lithography, woodcut and intaglio: stone, wood and metal.
