And this Saturday June 6 at 13:00 Chile -14: 00 Argentina- a talk will be held, titled "Memory, history and oblivion", with the panelists Gachi Prieto, Argentine gallery owner; Samy Benmayor, Chilean artist; and Grace Weinrib, American-Chilean artist. With previous registration via Zoom.
The talks that were held during the heritage weekend are now available on Ch.ACO’s platforms.
The first one, titled "Collecting contemporary art as heritage for the future" was held on Saturday with the panelists Carlos Maillet, director of the National Heritage Service; Fernando Pérez, director of the National Museum of Fine Arts; and the moderator Camilo Yáñez, artist and curator. Discussions were generated around the new challenges for the world of culture and the arts in the context of the pandemic, and the importance of culture in social life.
The second discussion, "The art of collecting", was held on Sunday with the panelists Geraldine Compton, Chilean collector; Luis Felipe Cordero, another Chilean collector; and Ari González Vigil, Peruvian gallery owner. The exhibitors raised the issue of collecting in Chile and in the rest of the world, and the opportunities that have been generated today with the boom in online media.
