The Sala de Arte CCU in Las Condes opens its latest exhibition, "Formas desde el subsuelo," this Thursday, April 9. The show highlights ceramics as a contemporary artistic medium, featuring works from 14 artists across multiple generations.
Visitors can view the exhibition at Av. Vitacura 2680 through June 5. Admission is free to the public.
Curator Patricio Kind Larraín selected the project as the winner of the 2025 CCU en el Arte open call. The collection spans various approaches, ranging from traditional sculptural pieces to works that integrate studio archives and complex installation processes.
Bridging tradition and modernity
Kind Larraín stated that the exhibition aims to examine how a material with deep historical roots functions within current artistic discourse. "I am interested in showing how ceramics remain a medium for entirely contemporary questions regarding the body, technology, habitation, and work processes," he said.
Claudia Verdejo, head of the CCU en el Arte program, noted that the exhibition defines ceramics as a language that bridges the gap between traditional craft, design, and new technologies. The program continues its commitment to providing free public access to high-quality art.
The roster of participating artists includes Renata Ayala, Magdalena Atria, José Cori, Macarena Correa, Colomba Fontaine, Martín Kaulen, Patricio Kind, Mariette Lefranc, Rocío Olivares, Daniela Pulido, Valentina Soto, Paula Subercaseaux, Catalina Vial, and Catalina Zarzar.
The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday hours are 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The space remains closed on Sundays and Mondays.
