Collaboration in the setting of the exhibition 'Ladillo' in SistemaStudio about the work of Patrick Hamilton, Chilean artist. Private visits were made for groups of the ArtMunity community. I also took the final photographs of all the pieces. Conceptual, geometric and architectural pieces.
With a work of conceptual character, since the late nineties Hamilton's work has had as a common thread the reflection and questioning of the concepts of work, economic development, myth and history in the context of the last decades in Chile, particularly in the period known as post-dictatorship.
In this sense, his work has involved a constant aesthetic reflection on the consequences of the “neoliberal revolution” implemented in Chile by Pinochet and the group of economists known as the Chicago boy's, during the seventies and eighties, and its projection in the social and cultural field since then until now.
In the manner of an “archeology of neoliberalism”, his work and his visual thinking could be understood as a poetic portrait of the complex economic and cultural processes that Chile (and so many countries around the world) has suffered in the last decades, under the influence and crisis of the market system.
