"Fantasmagoría" (Phantasmagoria) of the Colombian artist Alejandro Sánchez.
The exhibition brings together an important group of works from his series "Common Territories" worked on in previous years. Text by Guillermo Vanegas.
Additionally, the gallery will present in its project room "Construction Exercises for the Anthropocene" by the artist from Bogotá, Lucas Gallego.
He also presents the project "Peso Neto" by the photographer and documentarian Isabella Bernal in his space dedicated to photographic projects "El Primero".
Galeria La Cometa was founded 35 years ago with the purpose of contributing to the development of the local art scene. Our project is focused on representing, exhibiting, and promoting Colombian and Latin-American art.
Our space was thought of as a platform to facilitate the dialogs between the viewers, the work of art, and the artists, from the different approaches of contemporary art. This, without leaving aside the biggest representatives of Latin-American modern art, who bring a fundamental context to the contemporary production.
Born in Bogota, Colombia in 1981, Alejandro Sanchez graduated in Bogotá as a visual artist in 2009 and three years later, in 2012, he finished his postgraduate studies in technologies for pictorial production at the National University of the Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Alejandro investigates social changes in Latin American countries, especially in Colombia. He is constantly willing to fulfill his concerns around social and political systems such as globalization, democratization, and economic growth, which produce alterations in social structures. Thus, examines the factors driving the development of this change, such as free trade, privatizations, and multinationals. Through his artistic production, he reflects on the consequences that social changes can bring, which is why we find themes in his work such as socio-cultural displacement and cultural uprooting.
