Press Release
Chilean artist Sandra Vásquez de la Horra (b. 1967, Viña del Mar, Chile) combines transnational and Indigenous perspectives in her multidisciplinary artistic approaches. Her oeuvre, which primarily comprises drawing and painting, as well as film and performance, encompasses complex events, stories, rituals, and beliefs rooted in her upbringing in Chile as well as in her many years of living in Germany.
The first institutional survey exhibition of the artist in Europe, “Soy Energía” is dedicated to her experimental practice and focuses on her spatial, energetic, and global thinking. The multi-perspectivity of Vásquez de la Horra’s work is the starting point for an encounter with her spiritual cosmos, which reconciles human and nature. Her commitment to self-determination and to women’s and human rights is honoured and contextualised.
Curated by Jana Baumann with Marlene Mützel.
