Rimer
Cardillo: Araucaria examines the artistic
career of the Uruguayan-born, New York-based artist Rimer Cardillo
during the last decade through a selection of prints, mixed-media
and sculptural works, and installations as well as several new
works commissioned by the Museum for this exhibition. Cardillo's
work operates at the intersection of identity, culture, history,
and nature to investigate the relationship between ancestral
and contemporary histories. His artistic production represents
a critique of the western opposition between nature and culture
by establishing parallels between a remote past-the cultural
genocide of South American indigenous communities in a colonial
context-and a more recent reality-the ecological devastation
of this region's natural resources within a post-colonial and
post-industrial era.
