Opening May 15 at 17:00 p.m.
An exhibition that reviews the prominent Chilean artist's career between 1985 and 2025.
Curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, this retrospective brings together paintings, objects, and recordings of performances and installations to review the career of Janet Toro (Osorno, 1963) between 1985 and 2025.
The artist began her career in 1985, painting and engraving, with works whose central motif was the human figure represented as a wounded and contorted body. From there, she shifted toward performance, because only through the living body was she able to intervene and attempt to directly transform hostile reality.
Her performative work has focused on addressing, through the body, events and their various forms of violence and oppression, both physical and symbolic. specifically political violence during the dictatorship, state and institutional violence, patriarchy, violence against women, and the violence of capitalism.
