Opening
Group exhibition presented at the Mammia Bretesché Art Gallery, Paris, France, in 2016.
“Opening” proposes to open a dialogue in all directions. From the work “Origin” (ceramic and copper sculpture by Macarena Salinas) to “Dialogue with Infinity” (electronic sculpture by Gonzalo Sánchez), each piece in this exhibition seeks a relationship with humanity. María Elena Naivellan’s works “Alpha” and “Omega” are a set of alphabetic signs that invite us, precisely, to understanding without borders. This is her response to intolerance.
Lourdes Naveillan brings to life the characters in her work “Couple,” and in it we appreciate the interplay of opposites: the support and the medium, the line and the mark, the micro and the macro. In Naveillan’s work, gesture is her way of working within the uncertainty of the medium.
Ambassador Project
Group exhibition at the Embassy of Chile in Paris, France, 2016, organized by Silpa Art Gallery.
The significance of this project lay not only in the individual promotion of each artist, but also in their collective ability to build a cultural fabric in tune with their time.
Silpa Art Gallery presented this group of artists, who have responded with their work to this and other initiatives representing Chilean culture abroad. They are: Sara Malinarich, Liza Marzolo, Lourdes Naveillan, María Elena Naveillan, Rachael Runner (Robot), Gonzalo Sánchez (Pikti), Manuel Terán, Jasna Tomasevic, and Sebastián Yrarrázaval.
Ultra Violeta Chant sur Toile
Group exhibition held at the Mamia Bretesché Art Gallery, Paris, France, in May 2017. Organized by Silpa Art Curators.
“Lourdes Naveillan presents one of the richest tonal scales in the exhibition, imbued with gesture and executed on stitched paper. In a more controlled manner, she employs graphic forms,” the curators stated.
Ultraviolet… A Bridge from Paris to Santiago.
This group exhibition was held at the University of Talca’s extension center in Santiago, Chile, from October 4 to November 5, 2017. It builds upon the experience of Silpa Art Curators in Paris, enriching it with new works by the twelve Chilean artists who participated in “Ultraviolet. Chant sur toile.” The exhibition was conceived as a tribute to the Chilean artist and folklorist Violeta Parra in the centenary year of her birth.
